Monster Brawl
Stars: Dave Foley, Art Hindle, Robert Maillet, Jimmy Hart, Herb Dean, Kevin Nash, Lance Henriksen, Jason David Brown, Rj Skinner | Written and Directed by Jesse T. Cook
Monster movies and wrestling. Two of my favourite concepts that come together in the cheesy fight-flick that is Monster Brawl… Of course pitting monster vs. monster is nothing new, its an age-old concept in Hollywood, from the 40s and Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman and House of Frankenstein to modern-day efforts such as 2004′s Van Helsing, but throwing wrestling into the mix has – until now – been more of a standard of Mexican cinema. In fact Monster Brawl has (besides feeling like a Halloween episode of WWE Raw) a lot more in common with the Mexican luchador films of El Santo than anything Hollywood has ever produced.
For those looking for something substantial, I will proffer warning that the plot of Monster Brawl...

Day two of Dedfest Victoria hosted Jesse T. Cook's Monster Brawl followed by Fulci's Zombie. Organizer Ira Hunter continued to give out the schwag in generous fashion. The film festival ended with a few more zombies in day two, with Monster Brawl offering a wide collection of fighting creatures. The characters were diverse, but this film is much like watching an episode of WWE on which the film is loosely based. Even actors from wrestling entertainment lampoon in the film e.g. Kevin Nash. Overall, this is a fun film; however, Monster Brawl suffers from some pacing issues and maybe even some plot holes.
This is a fighting tournament that has brought eight of the deadliest creatures together for a series of Deathmatches. You can choose who to root for amongst: zombie man (Rico Montana), frankenstein (Robert Maillet), werewolf (Rj Skinner), swamp gut (Jason David Brown...
