Festival favourite "He Never Died" starring former punk rocker Henry Rollins is finally getting a DVD release, in the US at least, this February.
Rollins plays a socially awkward man, who rarely speaks and spends his time either sleeping in his flat, eating at the local diner or playing bingo with the old folk at the local church.
But when his estranged daughter gets embroiled in some dodgy dealings with some low-rent mobsters, it kick starts a chain of events that makes you question just who or what he is, as events between him and the mobsters escalate and they seem unable to take him down no matter how many times they try.
The humour is as dead-pan as it can get and Rollins is just excellent as the mysterious misfit, who seems more Terminator than Human.

I saw this one at the Mayhem Film Festival in Nottingham back in October, and proved to be one of the stand out films of the festival.
The film is currently out on VOD in the US, with the US DVD up for pre-order for release on Feb 2nd. No news yet on when this well be released in the UK.
Pre-order the US DVD from Amazon.com
