Nightbreed Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD

From the mind of writer/director Clive Barker — the macabre visionary behind Hellraiser and Candyman — comes Nightbreed, a nightmare-fuelled dark fantasy set in a world unlike any other… one that dares to ask who the real monsters are.

By night, Aaron Boone (Craig Sheffer) dreams of Midian — a hidden subterranean refuge where monsters live free from humanity’s cruelty. At the urging of his girlfriend Lori (Anne Bobby), Boone seeks psychiatric help, unaware that his therapist, Dr Decker (David Cronenberg), is framing him for a string of brutal murders. Believing he no longer belongs among humans, Boone sets out to find Midian — but the true killer has terrifying plans for both him and the outsiders who call it home.

Initially compromised by studio interference and misleading marketing, Nightbreed was misunderstood on release. Over time, it has undergone a major critical reappraisal and is now recognised as a bold, deeply personal cult classic.

Arrow Films proudly presents both the original Theatrical Cut and the restored Director’s Cut in stunning 4K — the ultimate nightmarish viewing experience.
