Wrestlemaniac Comes to DVD

Beware El Mascarado! What happens when two distinct worlds – horror and wrestling – collide? The result? Body slamming, bone-crunching, neck-breaking thrills – literally! Anchor Bay Entertainment, the leader in ground-breaking horror programming, presents the March 11, 2008 DVD premiere of the horror wrestling film Wrestlemaniac. Starring wrestling diva Leyla Milani, horror film favorite Irwin Keyes (House of 1000 Corpses, Horror High) and legendary “luchadore” Rey Misterio, Wrestlemaniac has already developed a broad cult following and now “El Mascarado” is coming for you! Fans will also be able to “wrestle” with bonus features that dare to lift the mask off horror’s next great monster!
 
An amateur porn film crew traveling through Mexico takes a wrong turn in the middle of nowhere, ending up in the near-ghost town of La Sangre De Dios (Blood of God). Locals claim that the deranged wrestler ‘El Mascarado’ (Misterio), though long dead, returns to rip the faces off his victims. One by one, the cast and crew are snatched, beaten and dragged to a bloody death. The few left alive must figure out how to beat El Masacardo at his own game, or die trying. Ladies and gentlemen -- the ultimate death match is about to commence!
 
Written and directed by newcomer Jesse Baget, Wrestlemaniac already has been embraced by the fans and critics. Film Threat hailed it as “Fantastic,” while GoreZone declared “Wrestlemaniac hangs recent Hollywood slasher films out to dry!”
 
Fangoria called it “Kickass!” and DreadCentral declared the film “body-slammin’ fun with one of the most original movie maniacs to come along in a long time…the stuff that cult classics are made of!”
