hyped garbage

Admirable film.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

You know those movies that are so bad it's good. Well this one isn't it. It's a cool idea to have well known monsters fight in a ring. And in this case 8 but the thing is, it looks more fake than wrestling. Which would still have been alright if this movie was so darn dull. The announcers and bikini babes tries to hype the fights up. But they are just so boring to watch. It's like watching a couple of drunks from a Halloween costume party wrestling with one another. And there is almost no trademark monster moves. Or using the monster weaknesses as an advantage in a fight much. It tries to have a story by having back-story for each monsters but that is the weakest part about this movie. It's so darn boring to watch and I personally didn't care. I just wanted to see monsters throw down. If it was crazy and over the top with the fights it would have at least been watchable. The director basically is a fan of monster movies and wrestling and decided to combine the two. Without any experience and far from having enough production value. It may sound cool but this is a pass.2/10

I've never seen any real wrestling (not living in the US, and the whole 'wrestling' scene has low credibility amongst myself and my friends here in Europe). It seemed interesting, loving horror movies and such, however... At first, I was interested how this battle of the monsters would turn out, biggest let-down ever. Imagine the disappointment you get after opening a present, thinking it would be the one you were hoping for, but turning out to be THE thing you just did not want to get... The fights are like any wrestling shows I looked up, the one guy that gets the first beating wins (almost every time). The monsters have some back story, enough to keep you interested just long enough (that's why I watched the movie till the end). But in the end, the 'open' ending will not make you want to see a possible sequel(pray to God there will never be a second one), but instead wanting your money back for viewing it. Even if you ever can view it for a discount price (as I did), it sure isn't worth the money spent in producing it.

Now I will first start off by saying if your not into wrestling then you will not like this movie. I'm a big wrestling Buff, I watch both WWE and TNA and use to watch ECW and WCW. So I'm the perfect person to appreciate this. It's not meant to be taken seriously, it's not a true horror movie or maybe it's not even a movie at all. But what it is is 90 minutes of hilarious clichés and Wrestling PPV style showmanship. It would almost be better as a real show than a movie. But for what it's worth it is really funny. It has it's ha ha moments and it's WTF moments. But if your into cheesy old school wrestling then you'd appreciate this movie. If your not into wrestling then don't even waste your time. You'll hate it. I hope they continue to make sequels. It has the potential to really create some good story lines.

Eight classic monsters fight to the death in an explosive wrestling tournament set inside an abandoned and cursed graveyard.This movie is something of a mystery. It seems to be quite bad and has virtually no plot. Yet, being fully aware of that, it never takes itself very seriously and is therefore somewhat enjoyable. It certainly was not as bad as I expected and not nearly as bad as it could have been.The real mystery is how they were able to sign on such a cast. Kevin Nash, Herb Dean and Jimmy Hart give it a sense of authentic wrestling or fighting. I did not even realize Hart was still alive. Then you have Dave Foley, horror veteran Art Hindle, and some voiceovers from Lance Henriksen that are a cross between him playing God and being the narrator from "Mortal Kombat". (The script is no stranger to video games -- a reference to King Hippo from "Punch Out" is thrown in.) Is the movie good? Heck no. But it is bad in a way where it appears almost intentional... and therefore more tolerable than other films being released these days. Certainly better than anything Charles Band has been associated with in a long time.
