A lot of fun.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Some people take movies so seriously. This movie gets trashed by a lot of people - but, come on. Take it for what it is. It's not intended to be a good movie; it's not intended to be a serious horror movie. It's basically a spoof. It's a spoof of the whole WWE (or whatever acronyms are out there right now) experience, with over excited commentators (played by Dave Foley and Art Hindle) and an over the top announcer (Jimmy Hart as himself) and pretty (and barely clothed) ring girls and lots of ridiculous action in the ring - and sometimes out of the ring. It's not really much different than you'd see watching pro "wrestling" on television, and as a spoof of all that it's OK.It's a "tournament" featuring eight monsters divided into two Conferences (the Creatures and the Undead) going head to head against each other. Ninety minutes of it is a bit tiresome in all honesty, but I have to confess (and I'm a wee bit embarrassed about it) that when we finally got to the final match I was interested in seeing whether Frankenstein or Werewolf would come out on top!As Canadian movies go it's certainly not the worst I've ever seen (and in its opening it even manages to pay homage to the classic opening of Hockey Night in Canada.) I don't remember the exact words that opened the "broadcast," but they were a take on Foster Hewitt's iconic "Hello Canada and hockey fans in the United States and Newfoundland."It's not a good movie by any means, but it does have some humour in it, it doesn't take itself at all seriously and it is plain old stupid fun. You wouldn't want a steady diet of movies like this, but there's nothing wrong with it from time to time. (4/10)
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.
I am a fan of old school wrestling, horror and splatter films, low rent makeup films and old school monster movies... This movie fails all of these genres. This could have been mildly entertaining as a 30-minute show. It was stretched out to feature length film and we are all the worse for it. How they got Dave Foley is perplexing, he must be hard up for work. I would suggest that anybody who rated this film higher than a 5 worked on the film, and anyone who rated it higher than a 3 is related to someone who worked on this film. so many missed opportunities in this movie. that is the biggest shame. Skip it and watch Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040068/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 the effects are better, the fear believable, and the laughs are legit.
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.
