I just got it yesterday (around $10 at Walmart), and it was actually pretty good, I thought. Way better than THE THIRST.

It's not in the new releases at Walmart, though. It's in the same place as Clare Kramer and Adam Baldwin's The Thirst, and Charisma Carpenter's Voodoo Moon (save your money on that one), all of which are new to dvd, but filmed a couple of years ago or more.
Nick Brendon has second billing (behind Adrienne Barbeau) and producer status on the film.
Oh yeah, and I'm not a dude 
!
P.S. If you want details on plot, I'll have to reply again later when I can copy what it says on the back. Don't know how to explain it well without giving away the surprise ending.

I was teasing!
Anyway, here's what it says on the box:
Adrienne Barbeau and Nicholas Brendon star in this provocative shocker about a mother's investigation into the grisly suicide of her daughter. But what begins as a family tragedy will soon lead to a conspiracy of bizarre crimes, occult carnage and a necromancer who may control a dark new trinity of warfare. How far would our government go to harness a Nazi legacy of paranormal power? Has the U.S. military secretly attempted to develop time travel, invisibility, and mind-control as weapons? Answers await in a mind-blowing journey that will take one woman from the trauma of the unimagineable to the ultimate horror of the UNHOLY.
Keep in mind, Chris, this is still a low-budget independent film, and it does have that feel, but the acting and originality of the story (well, I've never heard of anything like it anyway) seperate it from the rest, I think. There's even a very positive review I got from a link on Whedonesque before I bought it. No time to get the link here, but it was on there I think one day last week.
Edit: Have a little time before work. Tried to do the link but for some reason it wasn't working. Sorry.

There were moments in Nick's first scene that were a little amusing, but I can't remember much else being funny in it.

oh... cos he does funny so well, can he carry off plain serious? (I know he had some brilliant serious bits in buffy, but there was always funny round the corner...)

Yes, he can do it fine. He's a very good actor.
Can't help but wish he'd show up on Alyson's sitcom as Lily's "boyfriend" from kindergarden--which ended when he stole her Barbie! An in-joke because of the Xander/Willow relationship obviously (and mushy goodness for the rest of us, 'cause---awwww!!! ).
