Nightbreed

Summary: Clive Barker Raises More Hell...
Review: What else would you expect from Clive Barker? A weird and eerie story that co-stars horror vet director David Cronenberg that is almost 2 movies in one. Monsters, freaks, and other weirdos live outside a gated community because they don't belong. This area of the film reminds me of "Freaks." A serial killer is slashing his way through the big city, and everyone thinks its Craig Sheiffer because he is having nightmares HE is the killer. Cronenberg is his psychologist. With that kind of therapy, wouldn't you run away to hell? Based on the book "Cabal," this is a very wild horror movie that has finally made it to cult status. Lots of blood and gore, shocks, and a moral tale, even a love story. Its got it all!

Summary: Eerie film with a comfortable feeling
Review: When Nightbreed first came out, I rented the straight to video piece because as a teenager I saw "cool looking monsters" on the cover. For a one night rental I watched the movie a dozen times. Not because of lack of understanding, but because it was a fasinating concept.
Before the movie began, Clive Barker did an introduction with one statement that really sums up not just this movie, but many of his movies and books. He basically said that Midian was a place he wanted the viewer to feel strangly at home in.
A place of "freaks" and monsters. Creatures that have a taste for blood. Yet these creatures at some point or another in the movie change from the "monster in our childhood closests," to the "imaginery friend we introduced everyone to."
If you like horror, suspense and twisted endings, this is a film that should be in your movie collection.

Summary: A Bad Scareless Monster Fest!
Review: Why? I ask myself...do people like this wretched, dated, forgettable, nonfrightening, poorly written and horrendously acted film. Who knows and who cares. For intellectual Pygmies only.

Summary: "...it's something...natural..."
Review: You have no idea how great it was to finally see this spectacular movie come out on DVD. Clive Barker truly has done a terrific job once again. The only thing that disappoints me is the lack of extras. Personally, I would have liked to see more of history for the monsters individually. The porcuipine lady (I can't remember her name... something Suzi, I think), for example. She was my fave since I was a little kid. Another thing as a disappointment was there are no deleted scenes from the movie. The script contains many points, monsters, and backgrounds that the movie leaves out. I've given this movie 5 stars because it truly deserves it. It is an excellent production as a whole. But what would send it over the top would be the minor extras. Just as an example, if they went into as much detail with the monster's backgrounds as was done in "13 Ghosts", it would fuel the already blazing spectacle known as "Nightbreed".
