If you loved Nightbreed, try Lord of Illusions

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Clive Barker, and they both carry the surreal mood tag, and they sit in Fantasy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Nightbreed, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Lord of Illusions is

Los Angeles. Midsummer. A playing card. Harry D'Amour, P.I., arrives on a fraud case, only to find a dangerous cult hungry to revive its charismatic master. The dead man's widow hires D'Amour to protect her. Barker's transgressive sensibility meets hard-boiled detective tropes.
