CRADLE OF FEAR W/ NO ARTWORK
CRADLE OF FEAR is a cult horror film that showcases the unique talents of Dani Filth, lead vocalist of the famous British extreme metal band, Cradle of Filth. The film was released in 2001 and has since gained a dedicated following due to its gothic themes, imaginative storytelling, and striking visual style.
The narrative intertwines several chilling tales, offering viewers a glimpse into the mind of a sadistic killer, a character that echoes the dark aesthetics of Dani Filth's musical persona. Cradle of Fear serves as a platform for Filth to delve into horror beyond the confines of music, exploring haunting imagery and themes of despair, death, and the supernatural.
The Plot: The film unfolds through a series of intertwining stories. Central to the plot is a disfigured psychopath, who is released from prison but soon returns to his life of violence. The stories feature elements of revenge, betrayal, and the supernatural, capturing the essence of classic horror while injecting modern grotesqueness. As the lines between reality and nightmarish visions blur, the film invites the audience on a journey through fear and dread.
Key Characters:
Dani Filth portrays ‘The Man’ - a central figure within the film who embodies the chaotic and dark energy of horror.
Emily Booth plays ‘Cynthia’ - a strong character that offers a blend of vulnerability and strength as she navigates terrifying circumstances.
Alexis Denisof as ‘The Investigator’ - a character drawn into the web of terror as he uncovers the truth behind the horrific events.
Visual and Musical Elements:
Cradle of Fear is notable for its atmospheric cinematography that enhances the eerie narrative. The use of shadows, lighting, and practical effects contributes to the film's tension, drawing viewers into its macabre world. Coupled with a haunting score, the film artfully complements its horror with a musical backdrop that echoes the themes of despair and darkness present in Filth's own music.
The film also features special effects and creature designs that elevate its horror elements. Practical effects, as opposed to relying heavily on CGI, lend a gritty realism to the haunting visuals, creating a more immersive and spine-chilling experience for the audience.
Cultural Impact:
Upon its release, Cradle of Fear garnered attention not only for its unique storyline and Filth’s involvement but also for its representation of gothic subculture in cinema. It has become a staple among fans of both horror and metal, symbolizing the crossover between the music world and the film industry.
Moreover, the film serves to highlight the growing interest in horror cinema during the early 2000s, resonating with audiences who appreciated its blend of genre elements and artistic expression. Filth’s performance and the film's distinctive style contributed to its status as a cult classic, inspiring other creators to explore similar thematic content in their works.
Conclusion: Cradle of Fear remains an influential piece within the horror genre, intricately tied to Dani Filth’s artistic identity. It delves into the darker aspects of humanity through its multifaceted narrative and rich visual storytelling, ensuring its legacy continues to echo within the realms of both music and film.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
