A small-time wrestling company accepts a big, well-paying gig in a quiet, backwoods town, only to realize too late that the town’s run by a cult leader with some seriously twisted plans for their match. I took a little break from watching movies to check out the series…
Rosie✨Feb 3, 2025This was a very good movie I enjoyed it a lot. Even tho I'm not a fan of wrestling j liked this movie. The gore in this movie was amazing, the acting was pretty good as well and the story was entertaining. Would honestly love to see more a sequel would be great in my…
horrormikaJun 7, 2025FUN FACT: that absolutely no one needs to know. “Miss Behave” is not only the lead character in this film but is also the name of one of the speedboats in the Midway game “Hydro Thunder”. It made its first appearance in the arcade in February 1999 and soon after on the Sega…

The whole film is just a Vince McMahon fever dream Honestly, not bad. Not bad at all. Although I’m not a big fan of WRASTLING, this was entertaining enough to have fun with. The plot itself was cheesy (satanic cult persuades WRASTLERS to come WRASTLE for them or…

cobJan 31, 2025I wasn’t really sure what Dark Match was gonna be about, other than a horror/wrestling mashup starring WWE Legend Chris Jericho, so in order to remain surprised, I decided to skip the trailer and dig in blindly. Blood was pretty gratuitous, which is always a plus in both…

As AEW as movies can get: talent gets buried in the ring and storylines get cut off just before they get interesting. And Jericho is there for some reason. This isn’t a good movie, but it was fun enough. There are definitely things I liked: Miss Behave rules and I want…
Fat Dude Digs FlicksFeb 6, 2025I put this on as soon as I found out it was a wrestling horror movie since I’m a big fan of both, but… it sucks. I could write a 2000-word essay about everything wrong with it, but I already wasted enough time watching it. This movie is so bad that I started writing this…
reikokuFeb 4, 2025Growing up kid me was obsessed with professional wrestling so I was pretty excited to check this out. Sadly it's so bad and so disappointing on almost every level. Seriously kicking myself for reuping my Shudder subscription for it. There's very little to praise. I liked…

Wrestling themed 80’s nostalgia satan cult fight to the finish… yes, please! Look, it doesn’t have depth or subtext. There’s no layers. It’s just a fun, throw reality away for 94 minutes, kind of horror movie. There’s shtick. There’s blood & gore. There’s theme matches: wind, water, earth, fire……
Jen is "meh" onDark MatchThe lighting drives me insane in the movie. I get it’s supposed to be in the 80’s but it’s just dark and foggy and annoying. The start of this movie is very meh but the wrestling stuff layer is interesting, but not sure enough to save the movie. I wanted more from Chris Jericho since he was always…

Unfortunately, Dark Match never quite settles on what kind of horror movie it wants to be, and, too often, its overall tone doesn't play to the strengths of its premise.

The visually overworked Dark Match feels oddly underworked at the same time.
