Totally agree with you, I have heard the dropped in extra footage is vhs quality and looks quite bad, hopefully they can restore this for the Blu Ray edition to an acceptable level. I have also read that the Dr Decker story, why he kills, why he hates Boone etc is not elaborated on as I believe Cronenberg's killer is ruthless and brutal.....yet wasted. Could of had a spin off movie line me thinks? Can not wait for this, saw it on cinema for original release and it is so unique, yes it has its flaws but what the hell, its a bonkers film!

The plan, last time I heard, was to search for the original missing 35mm footage and restore it. Barring that, the VHS footage will be used instead. The price I heard the VHS restoration will cost is something like $50,000. As to why Barker himself just doesn't pay to have it done is beyond me though, as it's his baby.

Yeah, I saw the Cabal Cut at the cinema too, so looking forward to this. It's one where the extra footage is certainly worthwhile - there's far more character depth and reasoning behind motives as already mentioned. And loads more of Midian, which really enhances the madness - including fun stop-motion dinosaur thing. It's more of the book, basically. But yes, the VHS footage stands out like a sore thumb. You grow accustomed to it, but it will need some serious work if the whole thing is going to hit blu ray. |

I've read Barker's novel, Cabal, and seen the edited original film, Nightbreed, a couple of times.I've never been too impressed with the film but I enjoyed the novel.I'd probably seek out a director's cut of the movie just to see what all the fuss is about.Who knows, I may enjoy it a lot more with the additional footage.

Great choice there. Shout/Scream Factory puts out a very nice product from what I've seen. Hopefully, they'll have plenty of extras lined up as well. Would love to hear a cast commentary with Cronenberg on board.

It's old news, but it looks likely that we'll get a DVD of this here in the UK at some point in the future, and rightly so too seeing as Clive is British and so is Russell Cherrington, who has spearheaded the restoration of the Cabal Cut. I would've picked up the US release, but I'd rather give my brass to a UK company Restored Nightbreed Cut Gets DVD Release | Movie News | Empire
