What a waste of my time!!!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

'Slasher' films are hardly revolutionary. Even what is considered the film which 're-launched' the genre, Scream, was not exactly anything new. The basic principle is that you take one killer, mercilessly stalking a handful of teens. However, just because something isn't original, doesn't mean it has to be bad. All you need is something that makes it stand out, just a little (or at least entertain us for the film's duration).'Wrestlemaniac' does none of these. It's a 'slasher' film all right, yet it doesn't tick a single box. It's about the mandatory teens, this time travelling (and obviously getting lost) in a desolate, deserted Mexican town. There, they encounter a psychotic ex-wrestler who picks 'em off one by one.So, there you have it – nothing original, but, if done right, it could be entertaining. It isn't. Normally, among the good-looking teens, one is the 'virgin' – the 'nice' girl who we basically can figure out is going to survive until the end. There isn't one here. They're all horrible teens. You won't care about a single one of them. Therefore, when the killer gets killing, he's almost doing the world a favour by getting rid of them.Also, you have the obligatory old, creepy bloke near the beginning who explains everything you need to know, i.e. the Mexican government created a 'super' wrestler out of old body parts. Then, when he went bonkers, they sort of abandoned him in a town and then left him there.But, it still could be good. It's an 'adult' film, therefore horror fans are probably hoping for a bit of gore. There isn't any/much. Most kills happen off screen and you're left to imagine much of what's transpired.What about the killer? Just because the cast are all annoying, maybe the bad guy can redeem the film? He doesn't. He's dull. He's also stupid. He picks off people one at a time then only walks after the others so they can repeatedly get away from him.All in all, Wrestlemaniac is a depressing experience. It's totally dull and you won't care about any of them. Just watch Scream again.

The "wrestlemaniac" is another slashers movie, the story is about a group of young people who want to go to a town in Mexico, but instead they get two a place with a local legend about crazy wrestler from the 60s. The acting was amateurish, there was no deep script but all of these are not the real problem of this movie, the real problem is the fact that we have already seen movies like this before, a group of teenagers/young people that get lost and mistakenly find themselves running away from a local maniac, this movie just gives you the feeling that you know what is going to happened next. The "wrestlemaniac" does not bring a story we have not heard before. In summary, I did no like "wrestlemaniac", this movie is expected, and the worst thing is that the movie does not frightening as good horror movie should. for another reviewes: http://imdb.com/user/ur44998795/comments

I loved this film! Wrestlemaniac is a fantastically gruesome piece of cinema!! The first two kills are off-screen, but they more than make up for it when you see a couple of the victims get their faces ripped off.The story line was good (just don't' think too much about it), the characters were great, the three women were hotter than three dollar pistols, and the gore was gruesome.Surprisingly good was the acting ability of Rey Misterio, Sr (not to be confused with the WWE star, it's his uncle). The other actors are all surprisingly convincing and believable. If you haven't seen it, been thinking about it, or just wasn't real sure how good a slasher flick about a Mexican wrestler could be, just rent it, buy it, do whatever .. but see this flick. If you have ever wondered what it looks like to see a face ripped off by someones bare hands, then you have to see this film.

Well what can i say about this one....for a start the story is original i'll give it that...but it has to be one of the daftest ideas the horror genre has ever seen....it's kinda like 'WWF' meets 'Leatherface' with 'Hatchet' sprinkles....a winning formula i hear you cry.....well not quite. Instead were treated to some really quite dire overacting..with the lead male(the porn director)being the worst culprit, completely bad dialogue and a runtime of 75 minutes that still manages to feel like 2 hours. Once the film gets going the director does manage a few moments of (dare i say it) tension and seems to be trying to make the film stylish but overall it doesn't really work...but hats off for trying. What gore there was was handled not too badly but was far too sparse for a film with the word 'maniac' in it. Although the characters are annoying at first i found myself rooting for them at some points yet by the end all the rooting in the world won't make any difference. The end leaves it open for a sequel and if there is one i'll expect a marked improvement on this one. Not bad for a bit of fun but it's more bad than it is good.
