This review is for the recent 4K UHD package release. I've had just about every format of this film in the past from VHS to DVD to Blu-Ray. When the 4K package came out, I knew I had to get it.
The story is about a man who has strange dreams of a city of monsters called Midian. When his dreams appear to become reality, he runs away to find the city. Not only is the place real, but he takes his place among the monsters and becomes their unlikely protector.
Although I do like this movie a lot, I'm not a fan of Clive Barker. In my opinion, I think his sensibilities are off kilter and it shows in his books and films. As much as I've tried to understand his work, I just get more turned off by his messages. Even in this film, he tries to get you to be sympathetic towards beings that are ultimately dangerous killers. They despise the "Naturals" and those who enter their territory are fair game to meet gruesome ends. However, this is the only work of his that I like because he gets one concept right: The concept of Heroism. While Boone ultimately becomes a dangerous monster, just like the rest of the Nightbreed, he does understand the need for protecting the innocent children of Midian, even if they're not going to stay innocent forever. That, plus the incredible creativity that went into the creatures of Midian along with Danny Elfman's wonderful score offers redeeming qualities to the film in the end.
The package is good and consists of four discs. Disc 1 is the Theatrical Cut presented in 4K UHD format. No features on the disc aside from Feature Commentary. Disc 2 is the Blu-Ray format of the Theatrical Cut. It has several documentary featurettes as well as Commentary. Disc 3 is the Director's Cut in Blu-Ray format. This is the same disc that Scream! Factory released a few years ago. The only difference is that the disc itself is stamped with a different label in order to be consistent with the the rest of the discs in the package. The special features are the same as the previous release. Disc 4 is just Special Features which include deleted scenes, makeup tests and more.
There are those who will probably be upset that the Director's Cut is not presented in 4K UHD format like the Theatrical Cut is. I don't have a problem with this, and I don't have an explanation either. Perhaps it was not cost effective to print two 4K versions of the film and maybe having two 4K versions would have increased the price of the package to the point where people would not buy and then Scream! Factory would have lost money. I'm just mainly glad that I now have both versions of the film together in one package.
If you are a fan of this film, I would recommend getting this version as it is the complete package with two versions of the film and has a more complete set of behind-the-scenes footage and interviews that will please any fan. Even if only the Theatrical Cut is in 4K, it should still be an enjoyable experience.

Tout est vrai. Dieu est un astronaute. Oz est au delà de l'arc-en-ciel. Et Midian est l'endroit où vivent les monstres...
