I just saw this film last night on Tubi. I hadn't seen Castle Freak in quite a few years. Never have I ever sympathized with a monster, more than I did for poor Giorgio. He was the real victim in this tragic and gut wrenching tale of longing, loneliness and hatred. Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs are in rare form as a deeply damaged married couple. Jessica Dollaride is exceptional as their blind daughter. Combs as John Reilly, inherits an ancestral castle in Italy. He just wants to inventory everything, and sell the estate. He and his wife are unaware that there is another presence in the castle. Rebecca, though fully blind, can sense some one or thing roaming through the hallways and her bedroom as well! I will leave the rest of the plot for you to enjoy. This is not a film for kids. The antagonist of this creepy shocker, having been beaten and chained inside a dungeon for nearly 50 years is miss understood. He only wants to be loved, but reacts violently to any kind of revilement from who ever he encounters in the vast, cold and eerie dwelling. Despite the horrid acts he commits against innocent victims, My heart broke for him!!!!!

This film was an unexpected surprise. It starts out pretty generic, but quickly turns into something altogether amazing: a horror film that touches you so deeply, and at the same time, angers you to the core! You are swiftly thrown into the horrible plight of an abused pair of teenagers, one who appears to be dead. I wont go into the plot any further. See it for yourself, you wont regret it.

The Babadook is an amazing little horror film. I recently purchased the special edition DVD, and was not disappointed. While I had never heard of this film, just reading the synopsis on the back cover sold me on it.

This is one little thrill ride of a horror film!!!! Phenomenal performances by Essie Davis as a widowed mother, and Noah Wiseman, as her idiosyncratic son, are what makes this film tick. Radek Ladczak's eerily beautiful cinematography, and heart pounding sound effects add to the creepiness of this little gem.

When a strange children's book shows up mysteriously on a bedroom bookshelf, the horror begins! In someways, the Mr. Babadook pop-up book , is scarier than the film itself. With each reading, the book becomes more and more disturbing to the boy's mother.This film will both sadden and shock you to the core!!! I highly recommend it to all movie lovers, for while it is a taut little horror film, it is also an astounding study of human grief. Don't miss it!!!!!
