8/10
Monsters meets Wrestling

Warning: Spoilers
OK, I saw Monster Brawl at TAD(Toronto After Dark) and the crowd ate up this movie which makes it even better.

The premise is simple a PPV featuring 8 of the most horrific movie monsters fighting to the death till the ultimate winner is decided. This movie is fun and entertaining. It features great performances by Art Hindle as colour commentator sasquatch Sid Tucker and Dave Foley as announcer Buzz Chambers and the play there roles with such straight candour that you believe we are watching an actual PPV.

The monsters are played for the most part by actual wrestlers and even features actual UFC referee Herb Dean as himself. This movie is well paced and moves with a nice fervour. The action is simple but effective and the special effects are well done and add to the movie.

The plot is simple with an "Monsters" division versus an "Undead" division finally crowning the ultimate monster. Highlights include swamp gut and some nice back stories on the monsters and creatures.

This movie is best viewed with a bunch of friends over some beers and would make an awesome lead in to an actual wrestling or UFC PPV.
