After all, how many critics have said that the pitchfork and torches crowd in the Frakenstien films was the REAL monster of the tale, and NOT the poor creature who was abandoned by it's creator? Sympathy for the monsters goes way, way back... even into fairytales, as with the "heartless giant." "[The audiance] will populate the darkness with more horrors than all the horror writers in Hollywood could think of. If you make the screen dark enough, the mind's eye will read anything into it you want! We're great ones for the dark patches." -VAL LEWTON

TREVOR1369	Nightbreed the Cabal Cut screening	#22	[-]
Jun 12 12 2:18 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Just saw the "Cabal Cut" of Nightbreed on Sunday. LOVED it. It is a so much better film and I'm glad we finally got to see it. it was nice to see so many fans come together with such excitement. it was like seeing the film with a bunch of friends and that made it special. Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut review: http://www.sinfulcelluloid.com/2012/06/dream-realized-nightbreed-cabal-cut.html Clive and Craig Scheffer were there. It's well worth it! Clive is looking better and his words touched me. If you are a fan, please support this version of the film.We have a lot of work to do still but we're getting closer.

Jun 13 12 1:29 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I've been following the long frustrating tale of Clive's efforts to restore NIGHTBREED for years now and am extremely excited that this Cabal Cut is finally making the rounds in screenings. In the past day Clive has said that some of the proceeds will go to putting this version out on Blu-ray. I am looking very forward to this!

Jun 13 12 11:31 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	http://www.occupymidian.com/ In 1989 Clive Barker created his second feature film Nightbreed fom his novel Cabal. During post production the studio ordered reshoots to change the emphasis of the film from Clive Barker's Nightbreed to a film they thought would play better to the masses. The Film that was released on 28th September 1990 was a compromise of reshoots and studio input that never captured the story of Cabal. The original Negatives of Nightbreed are still in the vaults of the studio. The two existing workprints have been intergrated into the 1990 theatrical version of Nightbreed so that the most complete version of Clive Barker's Nightbreed can be seen for the first time. Please support us at www.occupymidian.com https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/occupymidian and http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nightbreed/so that we can get Nightbreed The Cabal Cut released onto DVD and Blu-Ray...

Following the two Sold Out screenings of NIGHTBREED:TheCabal Cut on Sunday...Morgan Creek has given us permission to show the cut around the world and to raise money to prepare the cut for a release on Blu Ray...This could not,would not have happened without your voices.We have all been heard.The Morgan Creek team have my thanks and my respect...Very seldom does anyone in the movie business pay attention as they have,understanding perhaps that the message of the movie as I shot it....is one that dramatizes a different ending to the age-old story of how a war between Humankind and something Other draws to a close.The real NIGHTBREED will be available for everyone to see.I hope its message of redemption and forgiveness move you.

Jun 18 12 9:30 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Problem seemed to be that Barker had such an expansive vision for the story that it far surpassed the running time of one (non-extended) film. Just imagine finishing "The Fellowship of the Ring" and then cutting it down to an hour and a half...and never making Two Towers or Return of the King. It certainly had some interesting characters, but besides that I didn't like this much. I'd see the extended cut in theaters given the chance.

Here's where I read it: http://www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/nightbreed-cabal-cut-2012 A lot of spectacular moments have been unearthed (including a stop-motion dinosaur creature and some vehicular mayhem) - and it largely reverses the dynamics, turning what was a standard action climax into "Schindler's List with monsters"

Jun 18 12 2:58 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I wouldn't mind seeing this... I signed the petition for a release, but the actual footage still hasn't been found yet... just the dubbed VHS copy. Hopefully they'll unearth it soon and get something in the works. Someone bootlegged an ALIEN DVD with all the cut footage spliced back into the film, making it some 25 minutes longer. It was clearly a bootleg, but still pretty good for a fan effort... something like that may be all we get with Nightbreed, unless the original elements can be found. A perfect Monster has no end...

You get all sorts of monsters on hand, great visuals....and the monsters actually win out! Cronenberg as Razorface was AWESOME. I remember seeing that simple mask and thinking, "That is so damned cool!" Cronenberg actually acted pretty well in it for a guy that is usually behind the camera. Take me to Midian! For monster fans, it's a smorgasbord of great creatures!
