“Lowell Dean’s ‘Dark Match’ Punches Above Its Weight”

At Biff Bam Pop, the Gutter’s own Sachin Hingoo writes about Lowell Dean’s Dark Match! “I love a good, heady drama or a weighty horror that trades in the nuances of grief, or just fucks you up with a historical-based gutpunch of a story that you never want to watch again when it’s over. That’s the kind of film that, even if it does psychic damage to you, you feel good about having watched it. Like that kale salad. But you can’t eat kale salad every day. Or, you shouldn’t.

Wolfcop director Lowell Dean’s new wrestling-based horror, Dark Match, is a bowl of onion rings with the good ranch dressing drizzled over top. It’s an extra-large poutine with the bacon add-on.
