101 Films has announced the limited edition Blu-ray release of Re-Animator and From Beyond director Stuart Gordon’s cult 1995 horror Castle Freak. Check out the cover artwork and details here ahead of the Blu-ray release on May 26th 2025…
101 Films presents gothic horror Castle Freak (1995) on Blu-ray. Directed by the late Stuart Gordon, this chilling tale is one of his many films inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Best known for his distinctive contributions to cult horror and sci-fi throughout the ’80s and ’90s — with genre classics such as Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Dolls — Gordon returned to familiar territory with Castle Freak, a lesser-known gem that reunited him with frequent collaborator and producer Charles Band.
John Reilly, (Jeffrey Combs – Re-Animator), his wife Susan (Barbara Crampton – Re Animator, The Young and the Restless) and their daughter come face to face with terror when they travel to Italy to move into a castle they have inherited. Unbeknownst to them, their new home harbours a grotesquely disfigured and tortured man who has been imprisoned for decades. When mutilated bodies start turning up, John must uncover the Reilly family’s dark secret to save his wife and child from the sadistic being.
