This movie is straight up garbage from the get go. I thought the idea of monsters battling WWE style would be pretty damn entertaining and although there are plenty reviewers out there warning people not to watch this, i still gave it a try. Normally i give movies a full chance if i feel they have potential but i got out of this one early and i don't regret it. The monster make it up is pretty terrible for a movie that looks like it had a decent enough budget to do something better. I'm talking mainly about the cyclops characters whose one and only eye never moves and you can see the slits where the actor looks through the mask. If this was done intentionally for laughs then im sure it would have been more obvious but it seems they tried to go for subtly and failed. When you go into a movie for the monster effects and they fail with the first monster then its probably not worth continuing. PS. there is no storyline to this movie so i think the only people who will get a kick out of it are big time wrestling fans.

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!

Eight classic monsters fight to the death in an explosive wrestling tournament set inside an abandoned and cursed graveyard.

This movie is something of a mystery. It seems to be quite bad and has virtually no plot. Yet, being fully aware of that, it never takes itself very seriously and is therefore somewhat enjoyable. It certainly was not as bad as I expected and not nearly as bad as it could have been.

The real mystery is how they were able to sign on such a cast. Kevin Nash, Herb Dean and Jimmy Hart give it a sense of authentic wrestling or fighting. I did not even realize Hart was still alive. Then you have Dave Foley, horror veteran Art Hindle, and some voiceovers from Lance Henriksen that are a cross between him playing God and being the narrator from "Mortal Kombat". (The script is no stranger to video games -- a reference to King Hippo from "Punch Out" is thrown in.) Is the movie good? Heck no. But it is bad in a way where it appears almost intentional... and therefore more tolerable than other films being released these days. Certainly better than anything Charles Band has been associated with in a long time.
