Reviews

Wrestlemaniac received mixed reviews from critics. While some appreciated its unique blend of horror and wrestling themes, others found the execution lacking. Rotten Tomatoes describes it as a 'creative mix of genres that falls short in its delivery.' IMDb users rated it 4.4/10, with some praising the campy aesthetic while others criticized the pacing. Metacritic noted the film's potential for cult appeal but highlighted its inconsistencies in tone and character development. Despite its flaws, Wrestlemaniac manages to entertain with its over-the-top premise and gory set pieces that cater to fans of both horror and wrestling.
