A poll of sorts.

Who here has read Cabal, by Clive Barker, or seen the movie based on the book (which was titled Nightbreed)?

Comment amnesty is on, this is a fact-finding expedition.

Having seen the movie, I had no urge to ever read the book. Or, indeed, any other book, ever again. It was that bad. It was possibly the stupidest horror movie I ever saw; though if you give me time I might be able to come up with a better candidate.

For a good Clive Barker-based movie, catch Candy Man--but only the first one.

That's largely on the studio, sadly, and not the movie itself; if you read the book, you can see the skeleton of the movie's intent in what made it to the screen. I'm hoping the Cabal cut will fix a lot of that.
