Such Sights To Show: Episode 27 - Underworld / Transmutations (1985)

Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad

Bryan and Joe check out Clive Barker's first screenplay, Underworld aka Transmutations (1985).

This George Pavlou (Rawhead Rex) film was plagued by producer interference, so much so that Barker has notoriously disowned it. For good reason! It's boring, has a soap opera aesthetic, and features an icky romance between Nicole (18 year old Nicola Cowper) and Roy Bain (38 year old Larry Lamb).

Plus: kernels of Nightbreed and Lord of Illusions, early Miranda Richardson, and a confounding ending
