Cool Things About the DVD |
| Buy a New TV! |
Just do it already
and get that widescreen. |
| Buy a New
Stereo! |
The music
separation was well done. Get surround sound dammit! |
| Anything Else! |
Nothing was really
special about the DVD. It's got the commentary track,
a short "Behind-the-Scenes" feature, but that's about it. |

Wrestlemaniac
A Movie/DVD Review |
|
 |
What happens when you get a group of amateur porn makers,
stranded in a deserted Mexcian town, where there is the
legend of a monster wrestler? You get "Wrestlemaniac,"
that’s what. Here’s sort of the story…
Our group of people who have never seen a bad horror
movie before, led by Alphonse (Adam Huss), are traveling
through Mexico looking for a good location to shoot some
porn with their girls Dallas (Leyla Milani), Debbie
(Margaret Scarborough), and Daisy (Catherine Wreford), nice
stripper names if I do say so myself. In their travels they
come across a dilapidated gas station with a scary old man
(Irwin Keyes) who tells them about the town of La Sangre De
Dios where legend tells of a killer wrestler named El
Mascarado (Rey Misterio). Of course our heroes stumble upon
the town, don’t heed the warnings of the scary old man, film
some gratuitous nudity, and then, one by one, El Mascarado
lives up to the wrestler creed of how to win.
Sure, there’s the backstory of how El Mascarado was
created by the Mexican government to become a super-wrestler,
and when he couldn’t be controlled, well, he was left to
rot, or something like that, in the town, but it doesn’t really matter
because our heroes are horror-movie stupid, exactly like you
want in a movie called "Wrestlemaniac."
Now I’m usually one for a fun horror movie, and "Wrestlemaniac"
had all of the elements, namely a stupid plot, stupid
people, gore, and nudity, but when Dallas’ shorts got ripped
off, and although it was nice seeing her running around in
her underwear, it actually put the movie too over-the-top
for me in horror-movie stupid, that and the fact that I
didn’t like that they left the movie open for a sequel when
the dumb broad should have just done as she was told, and by
her not doing so the ending isn’t really a surprise, and it
ruined the fun.
If you want some campy horror fun you could do worse than
"Wrestlemaniac," but not liking the ending dropped the movie
for me a lot so I’m leaving my rating at 2 stars out of 5.
As far as the DVD goes, it’s got your standard commentary
track and some behind the scenes stuff, but nothing hugely
extra so if you can only find this movie on cable, you won’t
be missing too much. However, if you are a horror-movie
buff, go ahead and add the DVD to your collection.
That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!!
