DARK MATCH

Dark Match logoDark Match Still 3It’s 1988, and the members of a semi-pro wrestling league get an offer for a private event. Lowell Dean‘s Fantasia 2024 film DARK MATCH delivers a great soundtrack, flashy editing reminiscent of music videos of the era, a super creative twist on wrestling’s history, and the parallels to modern mob mentality.

Dark Match Still 4Performances kick ass. Ayisha Issa and Steven Ogg bring fierce chemistry against Chris Jericho‘s sinister aura. Mo Adan and Jonathan Cherry round out electric chemistry. Dean’s script has multiple twists you’ll never saw coming. Audiences will undoubtedly demand a Round 2 because Dark Match is entertaining as hell.
