This review is of the Director's Cut which has 45 minutes of changed footage (a lot added and some removed/replaced)... The Director's cut is basically a different movie, that tells a different and much more complete story. Way more footage of the monsters in Midian... backstory on the main monsters... an ending that makes total sense. The movie that Clive Barker wanted to release, before the studio tried to turn it into a slasher flick. The story in the Director's Cut is much closer to the story in the book [Cabal]. The movie as it should have been in the theatrical release. Well worth a watch (now).
