CASTLE FREAK follows
a young woman named Rebecca who inherits a castle in Albania from her long lost mother shortly after going blind. Rebecca recruits her boyfriend John and their friends for a journey abroad to handle this unexpected inheritance, but upon their arrival, Rebecca discovers even more family secrets lurking in the shadows – some of which have startling and potentially cosmic implications. Confronted by disturbing occurrences within the castle and with her friends' lives in imminent peril, Rebecca is forced to reckon with her family's past to save herself from the eponymous Castle Freak.
Barbara Crampton produces this remake which is directed by award-winning SFX makeup artist Tate Steinsiek from a screenplay written by Kathy Charles. It stars Clair Catherine, Jake Horowitz, Chris Galust, Kika Magalhaes, Emily Sweet, Elisha Pratt, and Omar Brunson. Fabio Frizzi composed the score. Once again for the cheap seats, CASTLE FREAK will host its World Premiere at the Chattanooga Film Festival – debuting in the coveted midnight slot following a screening of the opening night film, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead's SYNCHRONIC – on April 16, 2020.
