Clive Barker and Stephen King have a lot in common. Both write and direct...both should just write.
Plot: Fella has nightmares and his shrink (David Cronenberg) convinces him he's a serial killer (it's actually the shrink). In these nightmares he sees a city called Midian, a home for the freaks and mutants of the world to live and be happy...in their freakish ways. Anyway, the lad visits the gaff, dies, hangs out and then the hick-locals get upperty and go on a kill crazy rampage.
The creature effects certainly reflect Barker and his devilish mindset.
Budget: $11,000,000
Gross: $8,862,354
Fun Fact: Advertised as a slasher film, you can see why it failed and why Barker got upset, just look at the poster. Music by Danny I love Tim Burton Elfman.
