Nightbreed (1990) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - February 16, 1990

The marketing team at 20th Century Fox dropped the ball, then tripped over it and took a long tumble down the stairs when they tried selling Clive Barker's mythological creature feature as something more akin to a slasher film or psychological thriller.

While deeply flawed, and I must admit that I have only seen the theatrical cut as of now, I do think Nightbreed showed that there was much more to Barker than just sex and gore. Too bad the movie did not do all that well, because genre cinema needs more imaginative movies like this one.
