| I was looking around the HMV website here in the UK and I happened to see that Hollywood Kills is available for pre-order  .........it's not due for DVD release till 12th May 2008 though!  Still, good to know it's on its way! |

| I pre-ordered mine on amazon a while ago but they emailed me and said it was delayed. not sure if they really meant it though as it was a pre-order and not meant to ship yet. will see.

| | I got mine the other day and I've watched it! The writer's come up with a good story that keeps you watching to see what scary things happen next and it's a tight script which means you don't get any meaningless scenes. Dominic's brilliant as Francis Fenway, an ego maniac and sadistic film maker who lures young people to a secret Hollywood club. He gets them to confess their ambitions.......but they don't realise he'll use their ambitions against them in horrific ways..... It's a good film that sets the storyline up quickly.....none of this waiting for 30 minutes before anything happens type of film! Dominic's soooooo good at playing baddies and he's seriously evil in this film, even when you just hear his voice off camera he's still scary. It's rated 18 in the UK and it does have its gory moments, but I'm one who doesn't like gory films usually and I managed to watch it! It's got a good cast, it's atmospheric and I'd recommend it! |

| I am with DomCat--I liked that the film got right to business.
DK did a great job as Fenway. I kept wanting to like him(come on, it's DOMINIC!) but found myself perpetually creeped out by him. There were multiple times where Fenway would say something or just look at the camera a certain way, and I'd get shivers.
Another reason this movie freaked me out: whereas films like Hostel are only vaguely plausible, HWD Kills is unnerving because shit like that happens every day... people get suckered and then bumped off  
edit--forgot to mention some lines I liked. The one about loyal employees being hard to find (tongue in cheek!), and "your skanky friend." Don't ask me why I giggled when DK said "skank." *shrug*

| Yeah the "skanky friend" line was great Pensive! I noticed too when Fenway asked James Dell what his ambitions were and he said to be happy.......Happy Mahaney's the actor playing James! I thought that was a good in joke put in by the writer  Dominic is very creepy as Fenway and when he yelled at Sarah he really sounded like a total psycho  |

| I love how James was a continual frustration to Fenway with his simple answer of "happiness." It made Fenway get .... creative

| | Yeah Dominic did a great job showing how Fenway coped with challenges! All the cast were good but Dominic, Happy Mahaney and Angela DiMarco stood out for me.........with Dominic the best because he's so deliciously evil and oozes malevolence.....plus, I love his costume too  |
