Dark Match
★★★½

Watched 24 Sep 2025

You got a little horror mixed with a little wrestling. Damn!
Don't usually see much of this specialty genre.

What really worked for me was the talent of the cast. Specifically, Ayisha Issa as "Miss Behave" and Steven Ogg as "Mean Joe Lean". Both are oozing with talent and Issa especially gives a grounded realistic performance. Really carries the film.

You know, I didn't really know what to expect as I sat down to watch this "Joe Bob Briggs: The Last Drive-In" presentation. (It was Darcy the Mail Girl's birthday and she got to choose the movie for this show.) I wasn't sure if a wrestling/horror combo was going to work.

Well... it did for me.

All in all, it was a lot of damn fun.
