Description

From the mind of writer/director Clive Barker the macabre visionary responsible for Hellraiser and Candyman comes Nightbreed, a nightmare-induced fantasy set in a world like nothing you ve ever experienced before... one which will leave you questioning who the real monsters are.By night, Aaron Boone (Craig Sheffer, Teen Wolf) dreams of Midian, a hidden subterranean world where monsters have created a haven from humanity. Under pressure from his girlfriend Lori (Anne Bobby, Born on the Fourth of July), he attends psychotherapy sessions, unaware that his shrink, Dr Decker (Videodrome director David Cronenberg), is setting him up to take the fall for a series of violent murders. Convinced he no longer belongs in the human world, Boone goes in search of Midian not realising that the real killer has plans for both him and the colourful cast of outsiders who call it home...The victim of studio interference and an unrepresentative marketing campaign, Nightbreed was poorly received by critics on its initial release and failed to ignite the box office, but has since undergone a radical reappraisal. Arrow Video is proud to present two versions of this depraved cult classic: the studio-approved theatrical cut and the reconstructed, reinvigorated director s cut, for the ultimate nightmarish viewing experience.LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS:High Definition Blu-rayTM (1080p) presentations of the 120-minute director s cut, transferred from the original camera negative, and the 102-minute theatrical cut, transferred from the original interpositiveLossless 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio and uncompressed 2.0 PCM audio on the director s cutUncompressed 2.0 PCM audio on the theatrical cutOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingNew audio commentary on the theatrical cut by critics Adrian J Smith and David FlintAudio commentary on the director s cut by writer/director Clive Barker and restoration producer Mark Alan MillerIntroduction to the director s cut by Clive Barker and Mark Alan MillerWalking the Line Between Heaven and Hell, a new video interview with critic Kat EllingerSpeaking up for the Monsters, a new video interview with critic Kim NewmanTribes of the Moon: Making Nightbreed, an extensive documentary on the making of the film, featuring actors Craig Sheffer, Doug Bradley, Anne Bobby and many moreMaking Monsters, a documentary on the film s creature designs, featuring special makeup designer Bob KeenFire!

This review is for the recent 4K UHD package release. I've had just about every format of this film in the past from VHS to DVD to Blu-Ray. When the 4K package came out, I knew I had to get it.The story is about a man who has strange dreams of a city of monsters called Midian. When his dreams appear to become reality, he runs away to find the city. Not only is the place real, but he takes his place among the monsters and becomes their unlikely protector.Although I do like this movie a lot, I'm not a fan of Clive Barker. In my opinion, I think his sensibilities are off kilter and it shows in his books and films. As much as I've tried to understand his work, I just get more turned off by his messages. Even in this film, he tries to get you to be sympathetic towards beings that are ultimately dangerous killers. They despise the "Naturals" and those who enter their territory are fair game to meet gruesome ends. However, this is the only work of his that I like because he gets one concept right: The concept of Heroism. While Boone ultimately becomes a dangerous monster, just like the rest of the Nightbreed, he does understand the need for protecting the innocent children of Midian, even if they're not going to stay innocent forever. That, plus the incredible creativity that went into the creatures of Midian along with Danny Elfman's wonderful score offers redeeming qualities to the film in the end.The package is good and consists of four discs. Disc 1 is the Theatrical Cut presented in 4K UHD format. No features on the disc aside from Feature Commentary. Disc 2 is the Blu-Ray format of the Theatrical Cut. It has several documentary featurettes as well as Commentary. Disc 3 is the Director's Cut in Blu-Ray format. This is the same disc that Scream! Factory released a few years ago. The only difference is that the disc itself is stamped with a different label in order to be consistent with the the rest of the discs in the package. The special features are the same as the previous release. Disc 4 is just Special Features which include deleted scenes, makeup tests and more.There are those who will probably be upset that the Director's Cut is not presented in 4K UHD format like the Theatrical Cut is. I don't have a problem with this, and I don't have an explanation either. Perhaps it was not cost effective to print two 4K versions of the film and maybe having two 4K versions would have increased the price of the package to the point where people would not buy and then Scream! Factory would have lost money. I'm just mainly glad that I now have both versions of the film together in one package.If you are a fan of this film, I would recommend getting this version as it is the complete package with two versions of the film and has a more complete set of behind-the-scenes footage and interviews that will please any fan. Even if only the Theatrical Cut is in 4K, it should still be an enjoyable experience.
