This is the weirdest film I have ever seen. I do not understand why it is not rated NC-17. .... There is both a rated and unrated version. Don't watch this film if you are affended easily. I had to turn it off I was so appalled! It was the part where castle freak bit the prostitute's boob off and ate her...well...you know. After he saw the man of the house(who has a wife and daughter)doing it to the prostitute. This goes down in my book as the only film that truely scared me and made me cringe! It is very sad how castle freak never got to live a life. He was locked up in chains by his horrible crazy mother after her husband left her. After she dies Castle freak breaks free and lurks in the castle. Meanwhile a family moves in the castle. When mutalated bodies turn up they must fight for survival. You start to not feel so sorry for the freak when he starts killing people and animals in horrific ways. The acting is amazing! Jonathan Fuller who played Georgio the freak was great in this and should have won an award! Raffaella Offidani who played the Italian prostitute was also great in this. That scene with her chained to the dungeon wall with the freak in the room always scares me! It is worth four stars due to the fact that Jeffrey Combs ways really bad in his drunk scenes! Any amature actor trying to make it in Hollywood could have done that! That was more of a comedic performance if you ask me! Barbara Crampton who played Combs' wife in the movie was quite good in her dramatic scenes. New-commer Jessica Dollarhide was very good in this considering this was her 1st feature film. Also, Elizabeth Kaza was good as the creepy, yet kind housekeeper. I'll wrap this up by saying don't watch it if you have nightmares frequently!
