WE HAVE TO HAVE IT....


i CANNOT STAND IT. it must be obtained somehow somewhere. i have elevated this to the most favorite movie of all time of mine. A title previously shared by both Donnie Darko, and Kill Bill. but seriously this film has it all and it had such potential to be the greatest horror movie ever. I cannot believe all the crap that they did to ruin this film, its the worst tragedy ever.

for those of you who know, or vaguely know i Highly suggest you read the wikipedia on this. but as i already saw the AD and knew about this from this forum it did not come to a surprise too me but what does disturb me is the fact that it is so casually written like its able to be obtained. ..

From the wikipedia:

Mark Miller, a friend of Barker, asked if he could track down the missing 25 minutes of footage that was cut out of the director's cut of Nightbreed.[37] Miller discovered, after talking to a production executive at the studio, that the footage was never actually lost but readily accessible. When asked, a studio executive said that there was not a big enough audience to warrant the studio spending money on a new, extended cut of the film.[38] A VHS copy of Barker's 145 minute version of the film's mid-1989 workprint was recently discovered. It does not feature any of the re-shoots of Decker's murders.[39] An extended 159-minute cut version, from another VHS found in July 2009, was premiered on March 27, 2010 as part of the HorrorHound Weekend in Indianapolis.[40] This new version adds almost a whole hour that was cut from the theatrical release, including a musical and more animation. In an interview, Barker said that he hopes to bring back Danny Elfman "and give us just a little bit of extra music for it."

Where can I find this extra version either the 25 minute extra or the workprint 159 minutes that was shown at this horror convention...?

Lets get to midian eventually guys cmon!

so the new lost footage is from a work print from the late 80s i take it this will look like the wicker man directors cut i can dig that but are the negatives really lost if so that would make a blu ray release unlikely

you will have to forgive the lack of full stops lack of proper spelling im dyslexic but not stupid

yea but what i mean is the work print will be a VHS backup with a time code burnt onto the screen it would be cool to see the work print but better to see a restored version from the original negatives in HD but if its just a rip from a old VHS it wont be to easy one the eyes

unless there is an answer print like that of the Ridly Scot movie legend but even the quality of that is somewhat muted on blu ray

i hope they find the negatives

to eleventhdimension,

The standard release is available in a german region free version at Amazon.co.uk :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cabal-Nightbreed-uncut/dp/B007IR9GMG/ref=pd_cp_d_h__1
According to Amazon it has english audio.
I can't tell you anything about the quality of the DVD because i have the region 1 version myself.
I am also thinking about bying it but i think it's a bit expencive (almost 16 pounds) but i would also like to have a region 2 or region free version since i'm also on this side of the pond, as you put it (not the UK but the Netherlands).
They also have an Italian version (titled : Cabal) but according to one of the reviewers it's of very bad quality.
Hope this helps.
