Nightbreed (1990)

~~JakeSully~~ · 02-22-2014, 03:26 AM

Any fans of this really cool and underrated cult supernatural horror fantasy from writer-director Clive Barker? i have been since i saw this movie 3 times in theaters when i was 8 and i collected the comics, had a t-shirt and poster.

A new longer cut that runs 165 minutes has been discovered called The Cabal Cut is playing at midnight shows and film festivals as the film was butchered by the studio in it's original release and the Cabal Cut was lost until the footage was found.

Scream Factory is gonna release a new 154 minute director's cut and possibly have some leftover Cabal Cut footage as deleted scenes in the extras.

Thanks for the info. Would love to see the 165 min version. Any further info would be most appreciated on where it's playing or when the dir. cut will come out. Awesome book and movie, even as it was. Surprised you'd get to a see a film like that at 8yo, good work, lol.

Shout/Scream said this early fall in a collector's edition and should be the holy grail BD of the horror and fantasy genre this year.

A shame the studio screwed with Barker's vision back then and all that.

Does the film remind anyone of Guillermo Del Toro's works especially the Hellboy movies/graphic novels? i think Mike Mignolia who is a fan of Barker and Lovecraft was inspired by Barker/Lovecraft for his GN series and Hellboy has similarities to Nightbreed big time and Del Toro is a Barker fan.

Who thought Cronenberg did good as Deckar?

Who else thought Shuna Sussi was hot?

I did since i was 8 when i saw her in Fangoria magazine and on the big screen and when i read the comics, it was love at first sight and i thought she was one of the hottest monsters i've seen.

I'm excited for the new bluray. I havn't watched the movie since I was little and my older brother showed me his VHS. I've read about the Cabal Cut a lot, so I'm excited to see the extended version.

Does this movie remind anyone of Guillermo Del Toro's films especially Pan's Labyrinth and Mike Mignolia's Hellboy comics? I think so, Del Toro and Mignolia are fans of Clive Barker afterall.
