With it’s mix of horror and comedy and its assortment of classic movie monsters it’s an instant fan favorite, which is why at its world premiere at Canada’s Fantasia film festival it picked up an audience award. For a low-budget horror film Monster Brawl is kicking all sorts of ass.
Check out the Monster Brawl description for more info:
“Set in the tradition of a Pay-Per-View main event, comes a grotesque and hilarious fight to the death featuring a cast of eight classic combatants in all. Along with their colorful managers, these Monsters compete in visceral bloody combat in the ring to determine the most powerful monster of all time.”
Here is the first movie posters for Monster Brawl:
As you can see by the plot description, Monster Brawl is just what it’s name claims. As to what the actual storyline is, well according to a review by Dread Central, “…Monster Brawl isn’t so much a movie as the kind of sporting event you wish really existed. It’s got all the spectacle of wrestling, all the athleticism of boxing, and all the fantasy and special FX of horror movies. It’s a love letter to a Friday night spent watching The Monster Squad, followed by a Saturday morning watching Hulkamania.”
So if you’re looking for a deep vampire tale that touches your icy heart, you so are not going to find it in Monster Brawl. However, if you want some mindless entertainment that’s packed full of gruesome violence then you’ve got it in this film. You can watch all of your favorite monsters (including a vampire lady) battle it out!
As to when the film will be available on DVD, unfortunately we do not know. The director and crew of Monster Brawl are currently showing the movie off at various European film festivals. Sadly there isn’t even any word on when they plan on visiting the US.
