This is a movie directed by the infamous Stuart Gordon (Reanimater, From Beyond) starring Jeffery Combs and Barbara Crampton. Both actors also are in a good portion of Gordon's movies. Basically, a couple inherit a castle and go there with their blind daughter to check the place out and possibly sell it. What they don't know is there is a twisted freak locked in the castle somewhere and figures out how to free himself. That's the story for the most part. Nothing special. This movie is prime example of Full Moon film-making. Their movies for the most part are just terrible (aside from Puppet Master and Dollman). For some reason this movie was very hyped up when it was released and I remember people telling me how scary it was and how gory it was. So when I went to watch it I was expecting something new and original instead I get this garbage. Well, it wasn't that bad to call it garbage but it was definitely disappointing. If you are expecting something to the caliber of Re-animator or From Beyond you will be disappointed. 5 stars
