Dark Match Is Such A Good Title For A Wrestling Horror Movie
"A small-time wrestling company accepts a well-paying gig in a backwoods town only to learn, too late, that the community is run by a mysterious cult leader with devious plans for their match.". Dean told Bloody Disgusting in the summer that he wasn't sure he would be able to get Dark Match off the ground: "When I wrote Dark Match, I questioned if it was too crazy to get made, but within months, I was on set in Edmonton, with a hard-working cast and crew all pouring their (fake) blood and sweat in the wrestling ring to bring it to life.". the poster for the film is down below.
As a lifelong wrestling and horror fan, this is right up my alley. Getting Jericho to star in this must have been pretty easy, as he is a well-known horror fanatic, having also had parts in Terrifier 2 and 3. Dean's Wolfcop was a ton of fun, so we know we can have a good time with his films as well. Good on Shudder getting this made and supporting indie horror more than anyone in the game. It cannot be overstated what they have done for the genre since 2020.
Dark Match looks to kick off 2025 right for Shudder when it debuts on the service on January 31.
