The premise

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.

Horror Vault's take

When a young blind woman inherits her estranged mother's crumbling ancestral castle in rural Albania, a trip to uncover her unknown roots quickly turns lethal. Something monstrous lurks within the estate's walls, and as her friends begin to vanish one by one, the secrets buried in her bloodline prove just as dangerous as what stalks the corridors. This 2020 reimagining dials up the dread with gothic atmosphere and a deeply personal horror at its core, blending creature terror with a haunting exploration of legacy and loss.
