5.0 out of 5 stars An all singing all dancing region 2 release please!!!! 14 Sep 2008
By Grr VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Ok, let's get the obvious said first: This film is not a patch on the original novel (Cabal); Clive Barker's cut was not released but a hastily re-edited version which gives away too much too soon and some of the acting is pretty poor but....I Love This Film! I don't even own a VHS player anymore but i still have this on video because I refuse to not have it.

For the reasons above this film is not a masterpiece and i freely admit it's five star rating is solely down to a peculiar fondeness I have for it.

Something about it got under my skin years ago and never let go. I think it's the mythology it creates - the concept of Midian enchants me - married to some awesome design (creatures and sets) and a typically stunning lates 80's Elfman score.

It's a marmite film, lots of people have hated it but many share my belief that it's a lost gem, worthy of a cult following.

It's a film that screamed SEQUEL too (as does the book btw). The ending really lends itself to continuation as it does not conclude the story completely.

What is soooo annoying it that there is region two release planned at present. We live in a world where you can buy the Nic Cage Wicker Man and Battlefiled Earth on DVD but not this?!?! There is certainly something amiss here.

I for one ask that the rights holders grantme a wish and release a full on special edition. Preferably incusive of Cliver Barkers original cut, which I am certain will be even better and may well keep the books darker ending, as well as the film i loved as a spotty teen. A full making of with tons of details about the set creation and monster creation would be great too.

Any chance???!?!!?

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally fantastic highly original horror fantasy masterpiece!! 27 Jun 2010
By Franz Kiffka
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a lesser known but absolutely stunning genre-busting fantasy horror film from 1990 directed by the amazing horror/fantasy writer Clive Barker after writing and then directing the hugely successful horror film Hellraiser.
This is not a straight horror scare fest like Hellraiser, as it is much more. It is a almost fairytale like dark story, twisted fable set in modern times. A young man is not sure he has killed people or not, and might be framed. He runs away, runs to a strange mythical town for sanctuary and finds strange horrors waiting.
It is a fantastic film, a horror film ,but with a huge scope, a big tale to tell, monsters, lovers, romance, danger, serial killer. All of this and a music score from Danny Elfman which sounds very similar to his score for the huge Tim Burton Batman film released not long before.
This is a great film, but is not in the cut it was intended as. The director Clive Barker knows that the studios still hold many missing lost scenes which he hopes to eventually cut back into the film, and many fans want this. See the film and see how even more amazing it might be with the full story as it was originally intended. Fantasic fantasy horror film from a master writer and director of dark fantastic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nightbreed 24 April 2005
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Nightbreed, although not available in this country is well worth a watch. If you like your monsters not to be what you expect and the visuals to be stunning this is a film for you. Based on Clive Barkers Cabal, it is so very close to the book that I was surprised, as normally they are just a distant relation to each other. Although the story is opened ended and you long to know what happens to the caracters it's still worth your time. Although eighties in feel it is not dated to much.
If you give it a go you will love this horror movie with a twist.
P.S look out for the insperation to the monsters in the Village. I think M Knight loves this film or it had an effect on his young mind.

Good, good film.
A bit odd, but good.
Clive Barker at his best.
His other Hellraiser films are monumental but this one is just as good.
