Critics' reviews
- "It plays as if Barker were making it up as he went along, despite the film's having been based on his own novel Cabal."
- "It bombs, but not for lack of trying. It bombs for too much trying"
- "If Nightbreed had made some loot, I think we would have gotten some very cool sequels with a fantastic mythology.
- "Barker spins grisly fantasy out of sexual obsession, yet his style here couldn’t be less obsessive. It’s cluttered and rather incoherent, as though the trailers to four different horror movies had been spliced together."
- "One of Clive Barker’s most endearing works."
