These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
it's also implied that all myths of Gods, ever, including the Abrahamic deity, are sanitized accounts of these abominations.
That's only Paranoia Fuel if you live in a big city. ;)
Or its suburbs, but, this being Clive Barker, do you really think the countryside is better?
So at the end, Leon goes to work for the Elders... why, exactly? What part of anything that's happened makes this seem like a good idea?
In the original short story, he directly meets the Eldritch Abomination the Elders work for, which drives him insane with a mixture of terror and instinctive drive to worship it. It breaks him so thoroughly that he is incapable of doing anything else. It even ends with his now loving New York when he used to despise it.
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The entirety of your everyday life is just a cover for a horrible, horrible secret. You want to be a hero? Good luck: Your entire life will be turned upside down to manipulate you and exploit your dark tendencies to turn you into a Complete Monster who kills random people and feeds them to freakish creatures that live underground. Also, try riding a late night subway after watching this movie and not being... jumpy.
Moment of Awesome : The final fight. An insane serial killer and a weirdo photographer fight wearing steel-mesh aprons, butcher knives and meathooks in a moving subway car full of dead (or near dead) bodies hanging from the ceiling. Mahogany chops off an arm and throws it at Maya at one point, and later the camera moves out of the train to go around the outside of the car, and we can see through the windows, and spins all the way back around again. There's blood everywhere, and the two of them are going at it absolutely no-holds barred. And then the electric guitars start.
Needs More Love: Mainstream critics didn't care for it if they talked about it at all.
Well it does have a 71% rating on Rottentomatoes, the reason mainstream critics didn't talk about is because it only got a theatrical release in dollar theaters, so most critics simply weren't able to go and see it.
