Product Information

In 2014, original film elements for the cut material were re-obtained and were edited into a director's cut, released through Scream Factory. 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. They are the Nightbreed, denizens of a world beyond death, beyond the imagination, perhaps beyond anything you've seen.

An extended 159-minute cut version, from another VHS found in July 2009, premiered on March 27, 2010, as part of the HorrorHound Weekend in Indianapolis.That film, Nightbreed (1990), was shot on a sizable budget with significant studio backing and was designed as the first of a series (at least one sequel was planned at Morgan Creek). Do note that some of the music has been looped for this director’s cut, since Elfman was not available to rescore it. Nightbreed is a 1990 American dark fantasy horror film written and directed by Clive Barker, based on his 1988 novella Cabal.

Despite their grotesque appearance, they're a more colorful and engaging bunch than the emissaries of the normal world. In 2019, Trace Thurman of Bloody Disgusting wrote that the Nightbreed as depicted in the film "represent queerness, or any fill-in-the-blank ' Other' you can think of. V. Club 's Charles Bramesco also examined the presence of queer themes in the film's director's cut, writing that some of its homoerotic subtext was initially removed when executives at 20th Century Fox demanded that the film be trimmed during its post-production. He was interested in creating a "horror mythology from the ground up" and developing characters that would live on in sequels. Speaking of which, lots of additional creatures are shown inside Midian, showing off previously unseen practical effects.Decker ( David Cronenberg) is shown, which more clearly setups their relationship as doctor and patient, and quickly establishes Decker's bad intentions. During an interview in 2022 on The Ghost of Hollywood, cinematographer Robin Vidgeon, mentioned that he disliked working with David Cronenberg, stating Cronenberg complained to Clive that he was being usurped.
