This starts off with promise in terms of drama, but as a horror film from Stuart Gordon, it drops in quality when the titular character in first seen onwards.

An American family inherits a creepy old European castle and discover that it is inhabited by a disfigured maniac. Somewhat typical "killer in the haunted mansion" plot with no real surprises, but the gore effects are pretty nasty and Jeffrey Combs manages to make the remorseful alcoholic dad character into a decent hero. Barbara Crampton plays the mom but she doesn't get her boobs out.

Pretty poor horror. Best part is (obviously) Combs and there are a few good jump scares, but mostly a waste.

I could've sworn that this was from the early 80s as I was watching it, and almost fell out of my chair when I realized it was from the mid 90s. The relatively high score is for unintentional hilarity ... this film was definitely fun to watch.

Bad. Even for a Stuart Gordon film and I love Stuart Gordon films.

Many of the Re-Animator team worked on this one (and it's even based on another Lovecraft story, "The Outsider") but this is a wretched embarrassing piece of crap. How could you, Mr. Gordon?

_Re-Animator_ alums Gordon, Paoli, Combs, and Crampton combine their considerable talents to come up with a strong, textured terror film. While never stinting on gore (including a cat-eating scene) or suspense, Gordon and Paoli craft a solid horror movie that doubles as a layered, often wrenching meditation on the themes of parental guilt and responsibility. Combs contributes strenuous work as the self-tortured family man
