iam a film student and whole my life i've been interested in horror genre.i can't describe the emotions and feelings that i have , while iam watching a horror film,specially GEORGE A.ROMERO Films.Describing the world and the human beings identity and personality,as the way he sees gives me the feeling of not being alone in this world.THERE ARE NOT SOMANY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO UNDERSTANDS THE HORROR FILMS AND THE HORRORGENRE SOMUCH,THAT MEANS NOT SOMANY PEOPLE TO SHARE THIS KIND OF WORK OF ARTS.I SAW BRUISER LAST YEAR WITH MY LOVING GIRLFRIEND AND A FRIEND ALSO A FILMSTUDENT AT THE SAME UNIVERSITY OF MINE.After seeing George A.Romeros The Bruiser i had a small fight with him about this movie,because he did'nt quite understand the movie.Thats why not everyone should see these films,people like you give a bad name and make stupid critics.thanks for the fılmmaker like George A. Romeros who shares his mind with us.
Thanks for reading

After a long hiatus, George Romero returns with a startling and innovative film that's not so much a horror film but a character study of a victimized magazine executive with no sense of identity......who suddenly finds himself literally without an identity, as he wakes up one morning to find his face replaced by a blank white mask.

The premise is strong, the actors are all terrific, and there are a handful of classic Romero scenes that emphasize his humorous and satrical side rather that his flesh-eating side, but the script has a not-quite-finished flavor that keeps the film from being satisfying. Instead of focusing on the main characters, we have a pretty useless subplot involving the police that adds nothing to the film, and the Halloween party climax is badly edited and disappointing.

A good film, but not a great one. If you forget about flesh-eating zombies and pay attention to Romero's scathing, cynical attacks on consumer culture and the loss of identity in the modern world, then you will find this film worth a viewing.

The Name George Romero Brings To Mind One Film....Night Of The Living Dead. Let Me Start Of By Saying If You Plan On Compareing This Film To NOTLD Then Your Not Likely Going To Injoy Bruiser, But In No Way Does That Make It A Bad Film. I Bought This Film After Reading The Liner Notes In The Misfits Album "Cuts From The Crypt" Which Contains 2 Of The 4 Misfits Songs Featured In This Film, Which I Will Get To Later. The Film In Short IS Not In My Opinion Horror. But Then Again It's Not Drama, Action, Suspense, SCI-FI, Or Any One Genre Of Film. The Story Is That Of Henry. A Young Bussiness Man Who Works For A Magazine Called Bruiser (Hence The Title). All His Life He Gets Steped On By The People He Trust And Loves Mos. His Wife, His Best Friend, And His Boss. But One Man Can Only Take So Much. One Day He Wakes Up To Discover His Face Has Turned Into A Living Mask. Thus His Revenge Begins. Some Sceans Seem To Linger On A Tad But Not Too Much (The Films Only 99 Minutes Long). Half Of The Film Is Much Of Henrys Stress Which Leads Up To Him Finnaly Standing Up For Him Self. The Second Half Is Pure Revenge. Liek I Said The Deaths Arent Grusome Or Bloody, But To An Extent Thats What Makes Them Seem Very Real. Although The Reason For Henrys Face Turning To A White Mask Is Never Explained It Does Add A Certin Mistique To The Film. And Seeing As His Mask Isn't Like The Run Of The Mill Horror Mask I Say It's A Good Thing. There Isn't Much Gore Here But The Feel You Get From The Film Seems Very Satisfing. One Of Those Things Were You Love The Killer And Hate The Victims. The Film Ends At A Bruiser Masquerde Party/Rave Were My Favorite Band Of All Time "The Misfits" Play For Any Other 'Fits" Fans Out There The 4 Songs Played Are "Decending Angel" And "Scream" From The Album "Famous Monsters" And "Fiend Without A Face" And "Bruiser" Which Were Written For This Film But Not Released On CD Till The Misfits Put Together "Cuts From The Crypt". The Film Has One Very Creative Death Sceen That In Volves A Laser Used In The Misfits Set Performence. All In All I Give This Film 3.5 Stars. It's Not Horror But It's Still A Very Interesting Film That Leaves A Few Unanswered Questions. Special Features Include Commentary, And The Music Video For "Scream". After Viewing This Film You Will Be Left With One Of 2 Thoughts. If Yur Open Minded - "That Was One Of The Most Unique Films In Years". If Your Close Minded - "That Was Crap I Dint See Any Guts!!". SO In Closeing I Say If You Want To See Something Different Or Collect Films By Romero Or Collect Films For Any Other reason Or Like Me Simply Want To See The Misfits Then Yes i Recomend This Film. If Your Looking For A Gore Fest Or A Film Like Night Of The Living Dead Then You Will Be SEVERLY Dissapointed. Fangs For Reading Guyz. Peace

5.0 out of 5 stars Very strange but surprisingly good.
Bruiser is a film that many will pass over. In fact on the box it is obviously trying to lure either Horror fanatics or people into weird movies. Read more
