Just catching up on some Stuart Gordon. As the title suggests it's about a freak in a castle. Regular collaborator Jeffrey Combs is on hand as the man who inherits this castle.

Once again it's also vaguely based around an H.P. Lovecraft story although doesn't resemble him at all in tone. It's pretty campy and fun. I'm sure he never wrote about Italian prostitutes being chained up and eaten.

The blind daughter element adds a little suspense to a few situations, it's easy to empathise with someone so inherently vulnerable but overall this was nothing very spectacular. Just a bit of gory fun.
