WTF? Yes. I was thinking the same thing when I ran upon this title while perusing the horror film section at a local Best Buy yesterday. I was actually thinking, “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me, how ridiculously corny can this movie be.” Before seeing a second, I had rated this film “shit sandwich”. Apparently, it’s really awesome. Go figure.

Professional wrestlers haven’t necessarily had the greatest success in film once crossed over (see the Rock and Kane), and I didn’t figure Rey Misterio (uncle of WWE wrestler Rey Mysterio Jr, RIP) would fare much better. However, according to a great review at Dread Central, the movie is worth checking out, and is even referred to as “clever.”

I have yet to watch it, but now that I know it’s not just some WWE fanboy fantasy light horror, I have to pick it up and give it a watch. Trailer looks good. Fuck it. I’m game. Anyone already seen this?
