[Comic-Con ’13] BREAKING: Scream Factory Announces ‘Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut’! #SDCC

Published

We have excellent news for those of you out there hungry to see the two-hour and forty-five-minute version of Clive Barker’s Night Breed known as Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut (read our review).

After years of rumors and rumblings, Scream Factory has just announced that the highly sought after release is officially on its way to home video!

The announcement was made during the Scream Factory panel at the San Diego Comic-Con. The stunning news came from Scream’s Mark Miller and Cliff MacMillan who have been working on bringing this film to the masses with Michael G. Plumides, Jr. since January. This is incredible news for fans of the film and there’s no doubt this will be one of the single most highly anticipated releases of not only the year, but probably the whole damned decade!

About: “In 1989 Clive Barker created his second feature film Nightbreed from his novel “Cabal.” During post production the studio ordered reshoots to change the emphasis of the film from Clive Barker’s Nightbreed to a film they thought would play better to the masses.

The film that was released on September 28, 1990 was a compromise of reshoots and studio input that never captured the story of “Cabal.”

The original Negatives of Nightbreed are still in the vaults of the studio. The two existing workprints have been integrated into the 1990 theatrical version of Nightbreed so that the most complete version of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed can be seen for the first time.” – Source is from below trailer.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
