Review of Nightbreed (1990) by Shane D — 20 Oct 2010

NOTE: This review is not directed towards people who aren't fans of this movie. it is directed towards the assholes who can't talk about this movie without insulting those who are fans. And to Morgan Creek, the company that owns the rights, says it's not worth putting on blue-ray, but won't sell it to a company that will out of fear that it might turn out to be a successful product for a company willing to give it a chance. FUCK YOU!!! And now, let the tirade begin.

This movie seems to have an awful lot of haters, not least of them seems to be Morgan Creek, the company that owns the rights to it. Well on behalf of Night Breed and Clive Barker fans I would like to humbly ask you to go fuck yourselves with a rusty razor blade in your pee hole. This movie is fuckin' awesome, even in the severely cut form which is the only version it seems we're ever gonna see. I don't understand the problem. Is it the great monsters? The outstanding storyline, which Barker will never get to complete (at least not in film form)? What? I don't get it. Seriously. David Cronenberg plays a psychotic psychologist for fuck's sake. If that's not a stroke of casting brilliance then I don't know what is. And the button eyed leather mask is one of my favorite horror movie images of all time. This is an epic, ambitious horror fantasy with with a great mythology and a view of morality that recalls movies like FREAKS, asking you who the true monsters are. True some of the acting is a little hammy, but if you're a horror fan who can't stand bad acting to the point that you can't appreciate something like this then I've gotta wonder, exactly what horror movies have you seen? Bad acting and horror movies tend to go go together like cops and beatings. Some of the best horror movies have some of the absolute worst acting. I know in the end it all comes down to opinion, but the people who hate this movie have a habit of bad mouthing people who don't, so once again fuck yourself, rusty razor blade, etc.
