Nightbreed (1990)
CONCEPT:
A man finds out that he's not human and goes out to find his kin hidden in a city inhabited by subterranean monsters. All this with a serial killer hot on his trail.
SELLING POINT:
Freaky scary but cool monsters hiding in an old cemetery.
WHY REMAKE:
The short story was dark, gothic and gory. The movie was just schlocky and a bit too artsy-fartsy, even with horrormeister David Cronenberg as a wonderfully deranged serial killer. With horror scribe Clive Barker experiencing a renaissance with more than five movies on the Hollywood pipeline, Nightbreed can be an ace in his...ahem...hole.
