Nightbreed (Director's Cut)

Product Information

These are the official Nightbreed releases. Thank you for reading, and let me know if I got something wrong in the comments! Theatrical Cut: This is the theatrical release, reshot and edited in a way that skewed it toward a slasher film, which was not Clive Barker’s intention. This was originally available on VHS/Laser Disc, and then a bare-bones DVD in North America in 2002. It was also called “Cabal” in an Italian release, but don’t mistake that for the Cabal Cut, which we’ll talk about a little later.

We did a brand-new transfer [of the theatrical cut], about a month ago, from the inter-positive that Warner Bros. had, because the only other HD transfer that Warner had was an interlaced transfer and there was no way we were going to use that for this release, so yeah we did a brand-new transfer so the theatrical cut is from the new transfer and then the Director's Cut will be using that new HD transfer and then, when we transferred the missing footage we transferred it from the original camera negative so actually that footage may look a bit better than the actual movie does, because, you know, an inter-positive is a generation down from the negative...

Already a horror legend behind the camera, Cronenberg delivered a manic performance that really set the tone for the film. Dekker was the ultimate human monster and the perfect antithesis to the real monsters of Midian. He was the beast even the beasts rejected and Cronenberg made Dekker one of the genre’s most chilling killers. Barker said about what Cronenberg brought to Nightbreed: The head of marketing at Morgan Creek never even saw the movie all the way through, and he was the guy publicising the movie! He could never make it through the film; it disgusted and distressed him. He said to me at one point, 'You’re an intelligent man, why do you make these movies? They're disgusting and horrible.' And this guy was selling the movie!" Now, this is just a VHS copy so it's not of releasable quality, so... thank you for your continuing messages of support - let's keep working to get a proper DVD release for an extended Nightbreed...Making Monsters - interviews with makeup effects artists Bob Keen, Martin Mercer and Paul Jones (42 minutes) Christine McCorkindale as Shuna Sassi, a Nightbreed with an animalistic face that is covered in quills. Barker always loved monsters and felt that "there's a corner of all of us that envies their powers and would love to live forever, or to fly, or to change shape at will. So, when I came to make a movie about monsters, I wanted to create a world we'd feel strangely at home in". [15] He was interested in creating a "horror mythology from the ground up" and developing characters that would live on in sequels. [16] As he finished writing the novella Cabal, he realized that it would make a good film that he would direct himself. [17] He originally envisioned a trilogy of films. [18] [19] Mark Frost wrote the initial draft of the screenplay for Barker. [20]

We have big (and extensive) news to report today regarding a film that we announced almost over a year ago in July. In collaboration with Morgan Creek Productions and Clive Barker's Seraphim, Inc., the long-awaited NIGHTBREED: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT is scheduled for a release of October 28th and will be available in two retail versions: A 5,000 Unit Limited-Edition 3-Disc Blu-ray set and a Special Edition DVD & Blu-ray Combo. This is a partially costumed and partially made up, slow motion re-enactment of the opening shots which works only from the way its cut. Again Elfman cue toleration on 11 out of 10... Again, fascinating but did we ever see Peloquin's full open mouth action? Maybe in the opening montage. There is something very unnerving about a mouth opening beyond the limits of human anatomy. a b Thurman, Trace (April 24, 2019).
