I watched this a couple of weeks ago, not nearly as good as the original. The acting was sub-par and even though it's basically the same story, the "Freak" wasn't really explained at all. We just got some scenes of him being beaten but I don't remember them going into any explanation why he was in the castle. Of course I could have missed something, it was pretty slow in the first act and really not very good so I might not have been paying close attention. There wasn't nearly as much goo coming off the freak or gore as the original which I wouldn't expect in a modern horror even on a lower budget. Plus, no Jeffrey Combs so...
Cheers
