Nightbreed is another movie I watched recently that kind of made me question the movie a little. Baphomet is the demon deity in the movie and the lead character's name is Cabal. The Nightbreed are supposedly being persecuted and just need a home to be left alone in peace. All kinds of weird stuff in this one. Such odd.
The movie was directed by Clive Barker from his novel. Curiously, it starred David Cronenberg, otherwise director of such disturbing films as "Videodrome," who acquitted himself well. All of this is an acquired taste, of course, but I would rate Barker higher as a writer than King. King pads his stories horrendously, and makes stupid mistakes in the scenario that break the suspension of disbelief (e.g., in "The Stand" he refers to a character flicking off the "safety catch" on a revolver). A previous Barker film was "Hellbound," which was quite edgy (can't think of an apt word to use---give it your best try).
