    The movie is getting a lot of points for having a gorgeous woman general in full armor fight with Bruiser choreography instead of graceful dainty choreography. Full heavy haymakers, choke-slams.

    TRIVIA: George A. Romero directed the music video "Scream" for The Misfits and the only payment he wanted was them to appear in ‘Bruiser’ and provide two original songs for the film. (IMDB) 🖤

    Throughout the 90s, Jerry Only of the #MISFITS unsuccessfully tried to get on a big budget movie soundtrack. These are the two low budget horror flicks the band managed to provide music for. They even make a cameo in Bruiser. Luckily the tracks eventually showed up on the Cuts From The Crypt album.

    I'm amazed by how many people think she isn't genuinely funny herself. Yes, she's been surrounded by great comic actors in her career, but she more than matches them. Bruiser, her work with David Mitchell and Robert Webb, her many movie roles. She's an absolute treasure and can do it all.

    Movie #35- 'Bruiser' (2000): This thriller gives us a modern take on many tropes of 'The Invisible Man' while keeping our protagonist visible but hidden in plain sight. George Romero's final film outside of his 'Of The Dead' franchise, I liked this one a lot and never hear anyone talk about it.

    HA! And now I learn an R1 Blu/4K of the same title is scheduled to be released at the end of October. BRUISER is the film, btw, one I didn't really care for, but have it as part of my Romero collection. It was the Indicator release that I ordered from the UK, while Kino is putting out later.

    Yes, one of the two movies I was referring to was the film adaptation (by Francis Ford Coppola) of the Grisham novel The Rainmaker. Mickey Rourke played Bruiser in the film. Honestly, I could've watched a whole spinoff just following Bruiser.

    Looks quite different from the film… I am loving the gender flipped role of Bruiser especially given it’s the magnificent Lana Parrilla who will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with. Definitely looking forward to this series, always a fan of a Grisham adaptation.

  • Ava 🏳️‍⚧️ @unnknownquest.bsky.socialBluesky · Feb 8, 2025

    George Romero's 'Bruiser' is a special kind of film. Done with the zombie but not so much, a journey to find oneself in a world were we feels invisible. The faceless mask metaphor is a simple one but Romero nails it.

  • Cord is bored. @cordisbored.bsky.socialBluesky · Jan 1, 2025

    Bruiser (2021), The Grey Fox (1982) and Low Tide (2019) are the movies I would recommend watching if you are looking for a movie that barely anybody has seen. Each of these have less than 4k reviews on IMDB. Bruiser has only 12 ratings on IMDB and I think it's a good little film.

    #20 I've been meaning to watch Bruiser for a while now and, looking at the poster, it's a shame they marketed this movie as straightforward slasher back when it was released. It's an oddball revenge story and nothing like this ghostly image.

    155 Bruiser Feels like a cheesy '80s horror movie. It came out in 2000. An interesting set-up and the first 45 minutes are pretty fun, but it keeps going and gets real stupid. Could have been a franchise, but not interesting enough to keep going. #Bruiser #GeorgeARomero #Horror #Romero #JasonFlemyng

    [HELLBOY, 2019] Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy is my favorite non-Marvel/DC comic book movie for its smart, refined take on the Big Red Bruiser. Neil Marshall’s Hellboy, on the other hand…feels painfully tryhard-ish. And not in an enjoyable, “So Bad it’s Good” kinda way.
