From the word go, it takes us on a roller coaster ride through death, torture, fanta- sy creatures and the fear of lost souls. Meridian is the place where the unwanted go when they die. Murders, psychotics and the deformed. In this world all sins are forgiven and you can at last find peace. Only those who have taken a life (whether accidentally or on purpose ) can gain admit- tance. Eric Boone (Sheffer) thinks he should be admitted. He has had nightmares of people being sav- agely murdered. His psychiatrist Dr. Decker (Cronenberg) says 6 real families have been destroyed in the same manner as Boone's dreams. Decker tells Boone to confess and gives him a little hallucino- genic for the road. But Decker is not who he seems to be. He is not on Boone's side and he is def- initely not a healer of the mind. Decker is really the serial killer and he has set Boone up for the fall *, Boone flees to Meridian (remember - he still thinks he is a killer) but the creatures tell him he is an innocent and chase him away. Decker then gets Boone killed before he can tell the truth. When Boone's body goes . missing, his girlfriend, Laurie (Bobby) goes to Meridian. In her attempt to get Boone back, she learns that the inhabitants of the underworld are shapeshifters. They are the last of their race. (I aever did get why some are dead and some aren't) In the mean- time, Decker gets Captain Eigerman (Haid) to blow up the cemetery that sits above the shapeshifters. The creatures are forced upward and the Humans and Meridians fight to the death. This is an unusual movie in it's depiction of evil and good. The Meridians have, one way or another, takes a life. Most have done it on purpose and enjoyed it. Yet they are portrayed as victims with no where to live in peace. The Humans are shown to be dlood-lusting, kill crazed disbe- lievers. Before the movie is half Over, you Start to root for the creatures, It is an excellent movie for its shock and thrill value. The make-up and special effects are first rate. I would definitely not let anyone under 16 watch it though, as they are too impres- sionable about what is right or wrong, good or evil, and this movie may be too confusing for them. I give Nightbreed a 8.
