* HateSink: Not that any of the characters are especially likable, but John doesn't seem to be meant to be anything other than a total douchebag who doesn't even have any of the few good qualities that his counterpart in the original did.

!!Tropes featured in this movie:
* AdaptationalHeroism: As the castle freak is a malicious [[spoiler:HumanoidAbomination]] this time around, Lavinia wasn't wrong to keep [[spoiler:her]] locked up, though maybe she still went overboard by whipping [[spoiler:her]].
* AdaptationalJerkass: Rebecca is, at least at the beginning, a lot more unlikable than she was in the original, though she calms down a bit after being blinded. Then there's John, who was ''already'' an unlikable character in the original, but at least had some redeeming qualities and [[spoiler:didn't try to kill Rebecca]].
* AdaptationalRaceLift: Giorgio, in the original movie, was still technically human, but lost his humanity after spending years of torture in a single room. [[spoiler:This time around, the castle freak is a HalfHumanHybrid, conceived when Lavinia was raped in ritual by her possessed grandfather]].
* AdaptationalVillainy:
** The castle freak is a lot more knowingly malicious this time around, violently ramming syringes through the drug dealer and [[spoiler:committing RapeByFraud on John]].
** Then there's John himself, who's a much worse person and [[spoiler:who tried to kill Rebecca just because she was the sister of the castle freak]].
** [[spoiler:The professor, aka Armitage, is loosely based on [[Literature/TheDunwichHorror Professor Henry Armitage, but this time, he seeks to tap into the power of Yog-Sothoth instead of trying to banish him]].
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:John spends most of the movie being an irresponsible dick, brushing off Rebecca's warnings that someone else is in the castle with them, cheats on her with Shelly, and ultimately tries to kill her after discovering that she's the castle freak's sister. He gets his comeuppance when the castle freak rips his throat out]].
* CreepyMonotone: Downplayed on the "creepy" part. The professor talks like he's trying to emulate Creator/JeffreyCombs as [[Film/ReAnimator Herbert West]], but really, just comes off like he's still reading his lines.
* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:A prophecy that was never spoken of or even hinted at before in the movie that involves Rebecca and her sister uniting is fulfilled, which summons Yog-Sothoth and opens the gate, and Rebecca gives birth to ... something ... which seems to mark TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. Then in the end credits, the professor marches into the dean's office to grab Herbert West, whose reagent sits on the dean's desk. Wait, what]]?
* GenderFlip: [[spoiler:The castle freak is Rebecca's ''sister'' this time around]].
* HotterAndSexier: The sex and nudity is a ''lot'' more gratuitous here than in the original to the point where it comes off as filler.
* {{Jerkass}}: How about almost everyone in the cast? Bonus points for John, [[SarcasmMode the boyfriend of the year]] who clearly doesn't give a rat's ass about his girlfriend to the point where he blows up at her for things as trivial as believing there's someone in the castle with them.
* NightmareFetishist: The professor comes off as a little too interested in the ''Necronomicon''. [[spoiler:Then in the end, he turns out to be in league with Yog-Sothoth]].
* NoNameGiven: We're never told the professor's name. He only ever goes by "the professor" [[spoiler:until the end credits, where the dean reveals his last name is Armitage]].
