From the recesses of netflix .
This movie is practically theCitizen Kane of independent B-rated horror/comedy films made in Canada.
And we totally mean that in the most genuine way possible.
With a name like Monster Brawl how could we possibly resist?
And we were not disappointed with what we found.
Spoilers ahead
But what is this beloved film about?
Or, put another way, its like theCelebrity Deathmatchof horror.
But who are our contestants?
Well there are two divisions: Creatures and The Undead.
Fighting for the Creatures are: Cyclops, Werewolf, Witch Bitch, Swamp Gut.
Fighting for the Undead are: Frankenstein, Zombie Man, Lady Vampire and The Mummy.
There are middleweight fights and fights leading up to the heavyweight championship.
It really is a pay-per-view style battle to the death.
Their commentary alone makes the movie totally worth watching.
So the plot goes fight by fight.
There is some commentary, some background to each character and some pre-fight hype.
We also really enjoyed how Zombie Mans defeat raised the dead in the cemetery to defend his honor.
We guess we know who the Walking Dead are rooting for.
We think the best fight in the whole match is Werewolf vs Swamp Gut.
Werewolf is a little self-explanatory, but youre probably wondering what the hell Swamp Gut is.
Think a very smelly version of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
In fact, all of these fights were pretty good.
Including the championship (Spoiler Alert) of Werewolf vs Frankenstein.
And this battle is an all out brawl.
Well thats left up in the air at the end because of a brawl interloper.

So how was it?
We cant believe we are saying this.
It was actually incredible.
Now, if youre looking to get scared this movie fails miserably to deliver even a slight jump.
And its a film that is obviously created by people who know how to have fun.
It is a film that never pretends to be terribly serious.
In fact, they know they are being funny and they play it up.
The fight commentators, played by Dave Foley and Art Hindle, steal every scene they are in.
They are spot on in every way.
They keep the action going and deliver a ton of laughs.
They are, in many ways, the reason we are reminded so much of Celebrity Death Match.
And the monsters and their trainers are wonderful as well.
What can we say?
We really enjoyed this film.
It made us laugh and made all of our horror feels tingle.
Check it out on Netflix.
