Night has fallen
After she’s permanently blinded in a tragic car accident, Rebecca receives some bizarre news: her long-lost mother has recently passed away, leaving her their family’s ancestral castle in rural Albania. Traveling to the estate with a group of friends, Rebecca hopes it will be an opportunity for her to reconnect with a past she never knew and a mother who seemingly left her behind. When mysterious events begin to occur and her friends begin to die, Rebecca must unravel the secrets of her family’s history before she too falls prey to the Castle Freak.

**_Mixes the 1995 film with “The Dunwich Horror” and unworthy characters_** This is a reimagining rather than a remake. The only bits it has in common with the original minor masterpiece are an inherited southern European castle, a blind character, and Lovecraftian influences. Speaking of the latter, the first film reminded of "The Dunwich Horror" (1970) and therefore I wasn't surprised to find out it was inspired…
