Nightbreed has a very interesting concept with great special make-up effect. I really enjoyed watching the Director's Cut. The multiple making of featurettes dive deep into the creative process. It's great to see how happy the cast and crew are that the film is finally released in it's intended form with the Director's Cut.

Clive Barkers film was originally cut by half an hour or so thanks to the powers that be who know damn all about a very good film. They didn’t like the idea the creatures were good and released it on video I remember in butchered version with a stupid ending. I bought the special edition and would only see Barkers preferred film not the video version. Nevertheless Arrow well done on another release with excellent extras but it’s a shame Barker isn’t involved in an interview only the introduction.

A gripping tale of outcasts versus the mainstream, that can be particularly unpleasant and evil. This film works on many levels. While not really much worse than the true Barker`s vision in the director`s cut, there are significant differences between them. In any case, David Cronenberg is brilliantly cast as the villain, not really stealing the show but almost. The director`s cut does look better though. When it comes to extras, Arrow yet again impresses by making brand new feauturettes for this release. Mind you, plenty of other older material is included as well. A full disc reserved just for the extras so you wouldn`t be disappointed.
