Director Clive Barker has given gore fans some of the most ferociously original horror movies in recent memory, including Lord of Illusions and Hellraiser. In 1990 Clive Barker directed the darkly brooding Nightbreed, a story of man vs. monster vs. even more monsters. For the first time since its theatrical release, fans are able to watch Nightbreed in its original 1.85:1 widescreen presentation. Anamorphiclly enhanced, Nightbreed features a very nice transfer by Warner with only slight imperfections. Colors are normally bright and bold with blacks especially solid (much of the film takes place in the dark). There is some slight shimmer during the end of the film, but this should not interfere with the enjoyment of the movie. Audio is presented in a remixed Dolby 5.1 soundtrack, and although it is nothing overly impressive, this is still a very well-mixed audio track. Dialogue is strained in some areas, but effects are clear and Danny Elfman's operatic music score is often pumped through all speakers. Nightbreed gets bonus points for putting extra attention on its soundtrack, where most horror films would have been sorely lacking. Also included is a Dolby Surround 2.0 track in English, as well as English, French, and Spanish subtitles. Sadly, Nightbreed's only supplemental feature is a theatrical trailer that includes a lot of nasty plot spoilers. At the very least a commentary track by director Clive Barker would have been welcomed, but apparently that's going to stay as mythical as the creatures in Nightbreed.
