George A. Romero's return to the director's chair!

May 1, 2009

Rating:

Bruiser was the long awaited return for horror film maker George A. Romero. While it was great to see old George back in action, the end results were a mix bag. A pseudo thriller about a brow beaten man who wakes up one day without a face! The guy uses this new (or lack of) identity to strike back at those who have wronged him in the past. As he plots his revenge, he finds a new love. Will he let that stop him and who or what is Bruiser?

The movie wasn't bad (but it's neither a classic) like some people have stated. It was a chance for Romero to get back into action after many film projects have died on the vine in the past ten years. He made a watchable movie on a real tight budget. Let's hope he'll get the opportunity to make more films. The Misfits also make an appearance in a club scene near the end of the film. Romero returned the favor by directing a couple of their music videos.

Yeah, its not exactly his best work but I thought it was a little better than you found it to be. It was certainly an intriguing premise. Its a shame that with all the garbage being produced that someone og Romero's stature has to go begging for funds.
