Nightbreed Trailer

The movie adaption of Clive Barkers movie Cabal.

The movie describes how all the species of this world have been driven into hiding by man's fear of anything different than themselves. How man has pushed back all the "Children of the earth" through holy wars and hate.

Over centuries, the breed have found themselves hiding beneath a cemetery in a place they cal Midian, (in Alberta, Canada) a place of waiting for renewal. They wait patiently under the watchful eye of their god Baphomet.

Now many years later, Boone has been called forward through dreams to lead the breed forward. Boone unwittingly leads a psychopath killer, Decker, who ultimately destroys Midian and forces the breed out into the opening. Boone is given the charge of finding the breed a new place to live in security.

The book is not a horror novel but a look into the nature of man, the movie is billed as a horror film as Hollywood didn't know how to market it.
It would be nice if a part-two was made to continue where this story left off....

You know, I kind of feel like Clive Barker movies have like one cool thing about them and are utter shit aside from that. This one for example: David Cronenburg is awesome, the rest of the movie is embarrassingly written.

When you think of a movie like Pan's Labyrinth and the amazing creativity of the creatures there, I really just shudder at the stupid "monsters" in this movie. Porcupine woman? Really? She shoots quills... you don't say.

Edit: Upvote, because I actually do enjoy bad movies almost as much as good movies.

Actualy..., Clive created a second book called the Chronicals of Nightbreed which goes into a story background and photos of each character. A very cool book. The backgrounds of each creature is based on a combination of historical truth mixed with theology and Clives added touches. Each one is giving a past and a reality that makes you think, "hey, maybe these creatures 'are' real".

The problem with the movie was bad planning over all as after they created the main characters for the movie, they left the rest up to the "creature shop" who didn't produce enough to fill the set. They were scrambling to come up with new characters to fill the movie and make Midian look as full as it was supposed to be.
