“An Albanian castle with bloodthirsty creatures is inherited by a young woman.”
Stuart Gordon’s 1995 B-Movie horror gem (to some people anyway) Castle Freak is finally getting a remake. About time, right?! Growing up I was one of those kids who lacked proper adult supervision, so the original was one of the many inappropriate movies I watched growing up and it surely did a number on me. I remember waking up my older brother in the middle of the night telling him we needed to release the people we have locked in the dungeon, yeah that wasn’t great. I went ahead and purchased the film on DVD a few years ago just for the nostalgia, and it was just as messed up as I remember.
For the remake Tate Steinsiek steps into the director’s chair with Kathy Charles writing the screenplay. The plot has been changed slightly in what seems to be an attempt to appeal to more of the slasher fan base. Barbara Crampton, one of the stars of the original, is attached to the film as a producer.
The cast includes Claire Catherine, Jake Horowitz, Chris Galust, and Emily Sweet.
Castle Freak is set to hit select theaters and On-Demand December 4th courtesy of RLJE Films. Watch the brand new trailer below and be sure to let us know what you think.
