The premise
A troubled young man is drawn to a mythical place called Midian where a variety of friendly monsters are hiding from humanity. Meanwhile, a sadistic serial killer is looking for a patsy.
Horror Vault's take
Clive Barker's visionary 1990 cult fantasy-horror follows a haunted young man whose recurring visions of an underground city called Midian lead him into a world of extraordinary, hidden creatures unlike anything in mainstream horror. Midian's inhabitants are not what audiences expect, and the film daringly asks who the real monsters are. Shadowing every step is a genuinely disturbing human predator with his own designs on Midian's secret. The result is a lush, strange, and emotionally charged ride through dark fantasy that defies easy categorisation.
