Awesome f ilm-made back when movies were worth watching at the cinema. Has a great plot between life and death- just when you thought monsters were the bad guys.
Now THIS is a movie that deserves a remake. A solid concept and a good story, but with dated production values. If we had a remake with a good up-and-coming director, a decent budget, and Clive Barker writing the script himself, we'd have one hell of a movie.
@MrStephenRGilman Remake? Too many remakes needs a truthful sequel to carry on it's legacy was a very interesting plot that never got its time to shine.
@MrStephenRGilman Dated production values? Please, I have more respect for practical effects than any cg diahrea that's ever fallen out of Michael bay's ass.
@MrStephenRGilman The practical effects in this film are great, and show far greater craftsmanship, innovation and ingenuity than anything generated on a computer. I camera effects, models and practical effects are incredibly inspiring, and they show that imagination was still alive in film until the modern CGI-lead obsession with 'photo-realism' killed it. Honestly, outdated CGI which was once 'state of the art' is far more jarring than top notch practical. Cue: The Thing.
Sounds such a cliche but the book was much, much better. The book that got me into reading when I was about 20. Waited for the film with much anticipation and was so disappointed, it was a total waste.
does anybody remember the name of an old movie... about an old farmer that used to keep body parts in a shed and make people from it??? kinda like frankestein.. its an old movie X_X..... i cant remember what it is called
Haha I love how these old trailers give away almost everything. The worst was the Fright Night trailer. It literally showed everything including the ending. Nightbreed is great btw!
Even though it isn't as Barker intended, this film is still great. Anyone who enjoyed it should check out the book - in fact, do yourself a favour and read everything Clive Barker has written; check out his artwork, and await eagerly for forthcoming visions!
Night Breed is "almost" a truly great film. Though I still love it (all the creatures are lovable, Danny Elfman's score is a beautiful tribute to Bernhard Herrmann, and David Cronenberg gives a genius, Oscar worthy performance as the mad doctor), it could've been so much more.
This is a complety floored film as Barker himself will testify too. I used to love it as a child but as an adult i can see alot of things wrong with it. A Fun but ulitimatly floored film. Fanstatic make up effects though.
@TequilaTommy i know and im only 19 and i like to watch it i watched it when i was 5 all the time now that was horror today there either too gory or just plain idiotic and stupid clive baker was the best in horror and right now im playing his game Jericho which is just plain awesome
saw this when i was way too yoing to see it- cant remember a thing about it (especially that david cronenberg is acting in it?!) looks very chessy, in a good way..
I'm almost finished reading Cabal, and have just found out it was made into a movie. From what I've seen in this trailer though, a better adaptation could be made today with Clive Barker being involved in a non-directing role. This movie might be worthwhile on its own though.
I'd rather see the Thief Of Always adapted into a movie. Then again, it might not work.
Rewatched it lately. I liked the film back then, still do today even though I think the good story wasn't adapted that well to film. The sudden epic stuff at the end (the prophecy and stuff) was absolutly funny this time.
One of the greatest movies of all time.. its sad that they cut the movie up so bad from what Clives true vision was but still it was an epic movie. I wish he'd make a sequal to this film :(
They don't make too many good horror movies today and I'm a young guy but I much prefer the old over the new.I think any true horror fan would feel the same.All the stuff is today is special effects and bad acting.
Blimey, I remember this film from childhood but couldn't remember the name of it. I just so happened upon this trailer coz i'm checking out all of Clive Barker's film adaptations and lo and behold here is that film!
The Nightbreed's god is Baphomet which is another name for Satan. If you read Clive Barker's Books of Blood you know he's "gay". In Rawhead Rex there's a scene where the demon urinates on a priest while the idiot professes his undying loyalty to him. In Nightbreed another priest goes nuts after being "baptized". John Lennon stood on a rooftop in Hamburg and peed on Catholic nuns. What is it with the British and "golden showers".
I love Clive Barker's work, it so dark and terrifying...it's beautiful. I love this movie. I have this movie on dvd and believe it or not, i have serveral of the comic books from the movie. I love those comics. They're so bloody and scary, it's only something that can come from Clive Barker. I really hope they come out with the dvd extended edition of this film. I would buy it in a heart beat.
@MrHorrorking13 I have yet to see this, but you and everyone who likes this ought to read the novella this movie is based off of. It is called Cabal and is amazing.
I dont know whats wrong with me but I loved this movie when i was 20 and I still wish there was a place I belonged and found with a family of like beings
My second favourite Clive Barker film.Also the character that carries the little dog around with him in this movie is Simon Bamford the guy who played the Butterball cenobite in Hellraiser 1987 and Hellbound hellraiser 2.
@LordLawnGnome I'm re-reading Cabal (aka Nightbreed) He's amazing. I just finished Damnation Game. Amazing. If you've not read Damnation Game, you should.
Wow! i was randomly going through suggested movies for me on netflix and came across this one. Looked 4 the trailer on here and as i was watching it i remembered watching this with my cousins at my aunts when i was maybe 8 or 9. Always been a horror movie buff obviously. This movies is unique though... A must see for fellow random genre movie buffs... :D
i hope someone can answer this : but is there a directors cut of the film? because at :55 seconds theres a scene with peligun that is niot in the movie , a matter of fact , there are ALOT of scenes that where not in the movie in trailer.
a lot of scenes were cut out and even the enging is different, I think the total cut out was around 30 minutes from what was originally done (there was even a sex scene between Peloquin and Shuna Sassi deleted out), and Clive Barker has said that he would like to do a directors cut DVD- but all the footage is lost in the studio vaults! Hopefully it is found, but even then i don't think they would do a directors cut of such a little rather unknown cult movie (sadly).
'Cabal' is a terrific novella. But the film adaptation is quite lacking, especially visually: Barker just couldn't light a scene to save his life in this film. The cemetery looks (and is) horribly a set, and, other than Midian, the film really drags in style - which is a real shame. David Lynch should have shot it.
I too own Cabal and loved the novella. What bothered me about this film is that it was obvious 20th wanted to franchise this like a "Freddy" or "Jason" thing. I agree another director should have had this, but the best part of the film was the opening name with the promise of monsters behind it. That was exciting but the film couldn't live up to that!
Indeed. The promise of the monsters was spoiled, I think, by Barker's inability to light and direct them.The opening sequence, where the monsters emerge from the cemetery, has them jumping about like something out of an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. There's no menace, and no wonder.
I think this film is the very definition of 'the one that got away'. Such promise and talent - and such a mediocre result. A terrible shame, given Barker's clear (writing) genius.
Well weren't the monsters in Nightbreed supposed to be only hostile if the cemetery was breached? I liked it, I like all of Barker's movies. And his books. The short story - The Hellbound Heart was the greatest thing I've ever read.
Found the film a bit lacking, i thought it built up the suspense well at the start, then i think it lost a lot of it's mystery with monsters that didn't really meet with my expectations..
They seemed a bit more like Star Wars cantina background characters or Star Trek extras..
Is this inspired on a Barkers book?

'Cabal' is a terrific novella. But the film adaptation is quite lacking, especially visually: Barker just couldn't light a scene to save his life in this film.

I too own Cabal and loved the novella. What bothered me about this film is that it was obvious 20th wanted to franchise this like a "Freddy" or "Jason" thing.

Indeed. The promise of the monsters was spoiled, I think, by Barker's inability to light and direct them.The opening sequence, where the monsters emerge from the cemetery, has them jumping about like something out of an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. There's no menace, and no wonder.
