I've got it listed as "Released to Ship" in my NetFlix queue. When I get it and give it a spin, I'll let ya know.

I dunno if you care anymore, but I finally watched the Bruiser DVD last night...

Movie: Not too bad. Definately his best since Creepshow. Not a slasher flick at all as the cover would have you think. Some pretty cool camera work when Henry comes out of his daydreams.

There's some good acting here and there, for the most part pretty solid, and then some HORRID stuff reserved for the woman who plays #9 (it'll make sense when you see it, she's SO bad).

Peter Stormare plays a sleazeball quite well (tho he does overdo at times) - you'll get to hating his character QUICK, which is a good thing. Don't wanna spoil anything, but he doesn't seem to get his comeuppance as well as you'd want him to. The club ending is kinda sloppy like that.

Video: Pretty sure that was non-anamorphic, but it's widescreen (1:85, I'd say) and pretty decent for a film that didn't get a theatrical release. No real complaints here.

Sound: Dolby Stereo. No surround channels. Which is kind of a shame because the scene where the woman is hiding under a conference table and she doesn't know where the killer is could have been REALLY cool with some panning voices. When you see it you'll think so as well. The finale could have been spiced up some with environment sounds too -- but all in all a decent stereo soundtrack.

Extras: There's a commentary by George that I didn't listen to, and the "Scream" music video by The Misfits (yay!) that George directed. The video's kinda neat, but Jerry Only does ham it up a bit too much at the end.

(But I let it slide as they ARE my favorite band...)

All in all, not a bad disc. Hopefully George'll make enough $$ off of this to make Dead 4!
