ZNAK SAGITE — više od fantastike — edicija, časopis, knjižara...

Da li iko zna kakav je status ovog projekta i dokle se odmaklo u realizaciji? Ako se ne varam, extended cut je prikazan letos na nekom festivalu. Zna li se kako je to prošlo?

bio je prikazan i u beču na slash festu u septembru.

kažu da sad neke stvari imaju malo više smisla, ali je to i dalje slab film (ali manje slab nego u sečenoj verziji).

u tehničkom smislu je to vrlo loše, trenutno - dakle, samo za fanove, kojima neće smetati što su ti kasnije nađeni delovi maltene na nivou lošeg VHS snimka, jedva raspoznatljivih likova i dešavanja (u mračnijim scenama).

tek treba da se nađu pare da neko to dotera i remasteruje kako valja da bi bilo u takvom stanju da se javno izdaje/prodaje, tj. da ne bude samo curio za mega-fanove.

Eh. Šteta. Pored svih njegovih mana, meni je taj film veoma drag i voleo bih da vidim dodatni materijal. Pravo je čudo što u ovoj eri upodobljavanja horora u mejnstrim nikome Barker nikome nije zanimljiv za rimejkovanje, inače.

film je puko kad je izašo, puko bi još jače u svom full cutu (preko 2,5 sata!), naslov ima loš vajb flopa, i evetualno kulta, ali vrlo uskog - a previše je skup za napraviti = rizik.

The latest screening of the restored version of Clive Barker's Nightbreed (the "Cabal" cut) also pulled quite a crowd. Barker's original novel was one of my first introductions to horror (certainly deeper, more nuanced horror rather than the crowd-pleasing nastiness in something like James Herbert's The Rats), and I'd never seen the notoriously butchered studio version of the film so I was curious how his story, in its intended form, held up - a damaged psych patient with a violent past, accused of murder most horrid, flees to the fabled sanctuary of Midian, a buried necropolis where monsters go to seek forgiveness.

Good but not great, basically. Barker crams a tremendous amount of his novel onto the screen and the original concept is as brilliant as ever. But while Nightbreed is a surprisingly decent film even in this rough-and-ready form (the new footage comes from ancient VHS tapes, and some of it is near unwatchable) it's also a painful lesson in the shortcomings of 90s action cinema, from the wooden performances and script tweaked for laughs to the sex scenes with both participants still clad in tightie-whities. The editing is often phenomenal, but the original film is plainly nowhere near the work of genius the restoration team seem to think.
