October Horror Movie Challenge - Wrestlemaniac (2006)

I found my copy of this and had to watch it again. 

On there way to Cabo San Lucas, a group of low-budget (porno) film maker and has cast stop in a legendary Mexican ghost town to refuel. The town is said to be the home of El Mascarado, a Frankenstein-like lucha libre killer. Unfortunately, the legends are at least partially true and the masked marauder is ready to kill again.

While there is nothing absolutely groundbreaking about this movie, it's a lot of fun and a great idea. It has a great killer in Rey Misterio. I feel the need to clarify that this is not Rey Mysterio from WWE (who formerly wrestled as Rey Mysterio Jr). This movie stars his uncle as the horrific El Mascarado. Character actor and comedian, Irwin Keyes, also has an unnamed role in the film and steals the scenes he's in. 

If you're a fan of slasher movies and lucha libre this is definitely a flick to check out. The fact that El Mascarado follows wrestling rules is a unique trait for a slasher. The fact they he unmasks his foes (who aren't wearing masks) is also gruesomely awesome!

In Your Game - I think most games would be better with a killer luchador, don't you?
