Directors cut was far better movie

Its been along time since I seen the original, but the directors cut seemed a vastly superior movie. The version I recently saw, as there are several out there, had a 2 hrs long running time.

Undeniably, Hellraiser was Clive Barkers best movie by far. Nightbreed has far larger sets and much more ambitious effects, as the cast is much larger. For the best part it succeeds, and is an impressive creature feature/ fantasy horror. Hellraiser just had a better, more personal, darker story to tell in my opinion. It was a hallmark in the evolution of horror in the 1980s. It was one of those movies which really touched a nerve.

Comparisons a side, this is very decent genre entry.

A Psycho, a Monster, and a Girl in Love

This Clive Barker catastrophe was based upon his book "Cabal." A cabal is a small group of secret plotters, as against a government or person in authority. Don't expect the movie to be about that.

It's a Calgary, Canada crapfest that's somehow a freakish love story where a priest abandons his faith and a girl stabs herself in the stomach to join the ranks of the undead. Because, you know... love and crap. Dumbass YA's and the irrevocable decisions they make because they're too damn dumb to think long term.

This pile of Canadian goose poo would have us believe that a doctor accompanies police to apprehend serial killers. And that the doctor, not the police would be the first to engage said killer. And that when the doctor shouts, "He's got a gun!" the police just unload everything they've got into said suspect.

"Nightbreed" was bad enough to make me catatonic with bewilderment at how dumb it all was. The Nightbreeds were monsters, or mutants, or some species of creatures that ranged from very human to very alien. They lived in a cemetery called Midian. What once was a closely guarded secret with no admittance allowed became a well-known nightclub with no security at the door.

Because of a series of absurd events resulting in the main character, Aaron Boone (not the ex-NY Yankee) (Craig Sheffer), being dead and in jail, Midian became Hamburger Hill. It was the "naturals" versus the... unnaturals I guess... with the naturals having the edge with firepower and the Monstars (yes I'm making them a Space Jam basketball team) having the edge with mutant abilities.

Boone leads the underground shapeshifters to victory, immortalizes his irritating shadow of a girlfriend, and fulfills his destiny. He was the Luke Skywalker of horrible horrors. Now, excuse me while I try to go purge my memory before I lose my mind.

If you are a Hellraiser fan.....

I've always considered Barker to be a bit overrated, certainly his later work was, and I haven so far found a lot of decent Barker work outside Hellraiser.

But this film.....is great, with good acting by Craig Sheffer (who I thought was a good redeeming feature of Hellraiser Inferno) and a good script.

Look out for the Directors Cut, otherwise dont bother. Epic creature effects and Doug Bradley is also in it! Its a nice old-style film that has a few matt painting effects too. Its also pretty good how the creatures are portrayed as the protagonists, while cops are portrayed as thuggish and corrupt (so in a sense, portraying the mess that the US is currently in with its law enforcement problems.

Watch it!
