Filmmakers don’t often get the opportunity to restore their original vision to an earlier piece of work, especially when that film was a financial disappointment, likely due to studio tinkering. Such is the case with Nightbreed, a film written and directed by Clive Barker in 1990 (and based on his 1988 novella, Cabal) that he eventually lost control of when he and Morgan Creek had creative differences over what the finished product should (or could) be. Shout! Factory now brings Barker’s director’s cut to Blu-ray (through their Scream Factory label) in two editions, likely pleasing fans of the film.
