Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Mischa Redfern
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is a Frankenstein Comedy. There a lot of Frankenstein Comedy. The first one was Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. That one was funny most Frankenstein comedy movies are funny. This one was not. It was to bloody to be funny. If a Frankenstein movie it not going to be funny it should at lest be scary. It is not scary. The story line is awful. The ending is awful. The acting was good as was the special effects. Good actors wasted there talent being in this awful movie. Do not wast your money. Do not wast your time. Do not see this movie. It is a very bad movie. It is total pooh pooh. Don't see this movie don't see this movie.

You take the good, you take the bad
You merge wrestling and a fondness for Hollywood movie monsters, and you get something called "Monster Brawl," a scenario that pits monsters against monsters in a highly improbable setting: the wrestling ring. (Somewhere Hulk Hogan is asking, "Are you freaking kidding me?") There's no plot, no script and no logic. It's a highly fictionalized horror movie sports match done very tongue in cheek with Dave Foley and Art Hindle reporting at ring side and Eighties icon Johnny "The Mouth Of The South" Hart at ringside with two busty babes to spar the monsters. What bothers me most is watching the so-called monsters fighting like
wrestlers. The Wolfman doesn't come teeth gnashing, claw ripping and growling like a werewolf; he comes like an actor playing a wrestler in werewolf make up. The Mummy does come dragging and the Frankenstein Monster is still a mindless monster, but the problem is, these creatures should be coming out no holds barred and just tearing loose. The lady vampire doesn't exploit her mystical powers to turn into a bat or mist. They should be fighting like monsters, but some of so-called monsters, like the witch, are actually human outcasts, which should put them at an obvious disadvantage, and to get really nit-picky, some of the background facts are just plain wrong, especially in the case of the Cyclops. With the vast array of classic and movie monsters out there, some of the creatures are invented solely for this film, (Witch Bitch? Swamp Gut?) which leans more to horror fans than for wrestling fans. Actor Lance Henriksen narrates the whole mockumentary with all the intensity and verb of Boris Karloff for a truly creepy atmosphere. It's a fun, raucous display with excellent make-up creations, and Johnny Hart gets the funniest lines here, but I still expected much more than just actors in costume beating the crap out of each other.

First things first, this is not your average horror/gore film. If your settling down to watch 'Monster Brawl' and expect a compelling, free flowing storyline then your going to be very disappointed. However the characters in the film are all very likable and the back-stories before each individuals matches adds fantastic character development (with the exception of Witch Bitch).This film is a must for wrestling and B-movie horror fans, who have a spare 90 minutes. Along with the some very good wrestling action; the first match is pretty poor, but the action gets better and better throughout; the film adds light humour and comedy with the brilliant commentators. "Technically its Frankensteins monster, if you want to be a dick about it." is a perfect example of the dry, sarcastic humour needed to enjoy this film.All in all a great watch, in which you really invest in the characters, and I personally didn't know who was going to win the each match.Without giving the ending away, it definitely leaves itself to at least 1 sequel if not more, which I personally welcome.

Remember when you were a kid and you would dream of your favorite monsters battling each other? You would sit in school daydreaming about what it would be like to see Frankenstein's Monster battle the Werewolf or the Mummy get into hand-to-hand combat with the Creature from the Black Lagoon. This is something you no longer have to imagine. Thanks to Image Entertainment, "Monster Brawl " takes those very childhood fantasies and puts them on screen.The movie is simple to describe. You take all your favorite horror movie creatures and throw them in a wrestling ring to battle it out with each other to the death. Throw in some intro sequences to give each monster's back story and some emcees dishing witty retorts back and forth and you've got a film that should satisfy both horror fans and wrestling fans.The "Monster Brawl" Blu-ray has enough special features to satisfy fans of the movie, making it a worthwhile purchase for those who enjoy it. The film itself starts to drag and loses its novelty effect after a half hour to 45 minutes. I will tell you that I'd rather watch this several times over that sitting through one evening of WWE wrestling. However, if you're a fan of both wrestling and horror movies chances are you'll love this.
