Been Watching: Monster Brawl (2012)

Monsters fighting DVD
   Live from a cursed graveyard in upstate Michigan, 8 of the world's most infamous monsters -  Frankenstein (sic), Werewolf, Cyclops, Witch Bitch, The Mummy, Lady Vampire, Swamp Gut and Zombie Man - battle it out in No-Holds-Barred Death matches.

  And that's pretty much the entirety of this film. The fighters are introduced, they fight, the winner walks off while the loser starts decomposing. Or decomposes a bit faster if they happen to be undead.
 The fights themselves are essentially Pro-Wrestling as performed by the members of Lordi and mostly tend towards short matches. The final, though,  turns into a bit of an epic and is the sort of thing you'd actually expect this film to be.
  
  Hang on. Didn't Celebrity Deathmatch already do this?  Except with more humour?

 Jimmy Hart essentially plays himself as a ring announcer while Kevin Nash pops up as a rogue soldier and isn't bad at all.
 To sum up: A halfway decent after-pub film if you've ever wondered what would happen if Frankenstein's Monster got into a punchup with a Zombie.

Here's the trailer if you're interested.

 By the way, this is my 200th post! I am pleasantly surprised that I'm still doing this.
