Zusammenfassung: | Hunky hero Boone (Craig Sheffer), haunted by nightmares, surrenders to psychiatrist Decker (David Cronenberg), a very compromised doctor and embarks on a journey from scapegoat to monster messiah, embodying Barker's primal theme: who's more dangerous, the outlier who lets his freak flag fly or the murderous conformist hell-bent on destroying all dissidents? A heady dose of gutter metaphysical philosophizing, this new Nightbreed is chockablock with added and extended scenes. [...]as fun as the new edition's monster-mash extras are, the film's essence is unchanged.-Maitland McDonagh |
