NIGHTBREED

A man is wrongfully accused of committing several murders; the expertise of his psychiatrist convinces the police of his patient's madness. But in reality, the unbalanced killer is the doctor himself. The innocent young man flees and chooses an old cemetery as a hiding place; he soon discovers that the place is inhabited by a horde of monsters and night creatures that, unexpectedly, turn out to be friendly towards him. The police will manage to find him, but to capture him they will first have to get rid of the undead… After the successful debut of "Hellraiser", Clive Barker returns to direct a horror film based on one of his most successful bestsellers. At the time, it was defined as "the Star Wars of the horror genre" for the extensive use of special effects and the fantasy setting. "Cabal" is undoubtedly a film with a strong visual impact (especially thanks to the excellent makeup) that, however, does not fully convince, mainly due to a rather slow central part and a not very convincing protagonist. It is worth mentioning, however, the excellent performance of David Cronenberg (for once in the role of a "simple" actor) in the role of the mad doctor Decker.
