I don't think Clive Barker's horror output is particularly great. I'd go so far as to say he rode the popularity of Hellraiser for most of his career and even Hellraiser is a cooler concept than it is a good book (Hellbound Heart) or movie. I say all this because Nightbreed was one of these films that came in the wake of Hellraiser, based again on his early writings, and I thought both were pretty awful.

He did think it was necessary to make two distinct games based on the movie's visuals and I think they're both pretty awful so I'll leave this review on both titles. Visually, they're ugly, the gameplay in each is not up to snuff for their respective genres, and the scenario was already a losing proposition with me.
