The ‘Castle Freak’ Reboot Has Been Unleashed

The “reimagining” of Dennis Paoli and Stuart Gordon’s Charles Band executive produced 1995 Full Moon horror classic Castle Freak is now out on Shudder, VOD, and Digital from RLJE Films. The film marks the directorial debut of award-winning special effects artist Tate Steinsiek (“Face-Off”, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich).
