Doh, must have missed that thread...

I have a feeling the only way we are going to see it here is pirated (if we are lucky!)

I wouldn't be so worried about it. I doubt it'll get much of a cinema release, but it will certainly make it to video/DVD. When, though, is hard to say. Remember, this film has been 'out' for over a year now and is only receiving its theatrical release in the US this month.

Yeah but its getting a limited release in the states iv seen plenty of limited releases never coming here.

As for the DVD yeah hopefully, im assuming its easier to distribute a DVD then a cinema release.... Could easily be a year down the road though...

Don't be surprised if it gets a screening at this year's horrorthon in the IFC. That and Dead Meat will make the event unmissable.

I can't wait for it, i'll be picking up the DVD whenever it becomes available.
