Full Moon is great. Period.

The 1995 straight to video release "Castle Freak" is not only plesantly gorey and full of dark humor, but stars Jeffrey Combs!! This flick's got decent acting for b-horror and a nice... slightly unbelievable but acceptable plot. Not to mention (in the words of a friend of mine) "Jeffrey Combs eats pussy!"

And that's just blasphemous. Dr. Herbert West performing oral sex on a whore somewhere in Italy.

One scene i particularly like is where a cat gets pulled through a small hole in a door by the Castle Freak, and it makes a very unhappy sound just before it's sucked into the Freak's chamber. Also, there is a very graphic scene where the freak bites off his own thumb to get out of his schackles.

The Freak's makeup is absolutely great. His kills are especialy gruesome because he has the mind of a 5 year old (the time he was put in a chamber and tortured from then on by a pissed off old woman). And he's castrated (which they show)! Hooray for Castle Freak!

It's one of my favorite films and i'm lucky enough to own it. The DVD is kind of lame though because there is only a Featurette and a bunch of previews of other Full Moon movies. This thing is definately worth a rent though, if not a buy. I give it a 7 out of 10.
