The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

In Monster Brawl, eight legendary monsters (Frankenstein, Cyclops, Witch Bitch, The Wolfman, Swamp Gut, The Mummy, Lady Vampire, and a zombie) battle it out in the ring to see who is the greatest of them all; sounds all sorts of awesome, huh? Well, trust me when I say that this 'film' couldn't have been more tiresome had they intended it to be.What we get are 8 very cheap looking monsters, a crappy graveyard set, boring back-stories for each monster to pad out the running time, several unexciting wrestling bouts, inane chat from commentators Buzz Chambers and Sasquatch Sid Tucker (Dave Foley and Art Hindle), former wrestling manager Jimmy Hart as the guest announcer, a pair of sexy ring girls (to keep the viewer from completely nodding off), and some risible bargain basement gore effects.It's all so repetitive, poorly executed and lacking in atmosphere (a crowd of cheering monster fans might have helped, but I doubt the budget would have stretched that far) that I imagine even the most fervent of wrestling fans will find this a chore to sit through—and that's saying something!

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.

"Monster Brawl" - 8 Classic monsters duking it out.Sounds AWESOME, but plays Awful.This movie caters to fans of wrestling more than monster fans - it's just as bad and fake as normal wrestling, but not in a cheesy good way. The humor is mostly devoid of humor and the same type of "joke" is used over and over. The movie looks good, the concept is solid - the script and execution is god awful.This movie would have been fun as a 7 min short... As is, it's unfathomably boring - I don't even know any children that have the attention span to sit through this inane garbage as essentially the action is not really action and in between the action it's just a lot of gibberish from the commentators.Do yourself a favor and watch a classic monster flick instead or "Elvira Mistress of the Dark" to get your cult monster flick fill.

"Tonight the most anticipated extreme sporting event ever." 8 monsters, including Frankenstein and Cyclops, square off in a UFC type movie to determine who is the toughest monster of them all. There really is nothing to review here. The movie is pretty much a back story of the two fighters and then the fight. Think "Celebrety Deathmatch" meets "Bubba Ho-tep". This is kind of entertaining and a little funny but really nothing more then watching "Wrestlemania" with horror monsters. Since that is all this is there is really nothing more to say and since there is no real substance it is hard to review. I won't give it a grade but I will say that if you are a fun of cheesy monster movies and UFC then this is made for you.
