Castle Freak (1995) follows John Parker and his wife Susan as they inherit a crumbling estate in a remote Romanian fortress. Unbeknownst to them, a monstrous captive—an emaciated, inhuman being—lurks within the castle’s walls. When the hidden prisoner escapes, fear and violence erupt, revealing scars of family trauma and forbidden desire. Stuart Gordon delivers a lurid, atmospheric horror that blends Gothic palace dread with visceral monster menace.
