The Director's Cut of Nightbreed. It's been maybe a decade since I watched the theatrical cut and I've put off watching the director's cut for whatever reason. I think the first act is very strong in both cuts but it kind of stumbles in the 2nd act. The problem is a logical one: so the cops discover these mutants. Okay. Time to kill them all I guess? This would work if they were just dumb rednecks (like right out of a Dom Dohler movie) or religious fanatics or whatever. But garden variety cops deciding to kill all mutants? That's when the movie goes downhill for me.
We needed more scenes establishing this world and the Nightbreed. What we got was just too brief.
