Writer and Director Lowell Dean (WolfCop) is entering the ring later this month with new horror movie Dark Match, centered around a wrestling company. Shudder has released the official trailer that features wrestling superstar Chris Jericho (Terrifier 2).
Dark Match releases exclusively on Shudder on January 31, 2025.
In the film, “A small-time wrestling company accepts a well-paying gig in a backwoods town only to learn, too late, that the community is run by a mysterious cult leader with devious plans for their match.”
Ayisha Issa (Transplant), Steven Ogg (“The Walking Dead”, “Westworld”), Sara Canning (“The Vampire Diaries”), Michael Eklund (Antlers) and Jonathan Cherry (WolfCop, Goon).
Lowell Dean previously told Bloody Disgusting, “When I wrote Dark Match I questioned if it was too crazy to get made, but within months I was on set in Edmonton, with a hard working cast and crew all pouring their (fake) blood and sweat in the wrestling ring to bring it to life.”
The film’s cinematography was handled by the talented Karim Hussain (Infinity Pool, Possessor).
The upcoming horror movie was produced by Dept. 9 Studios’ John K. MacDonald, Don Depoe, and Michael Feehan, as well as Michael Peterson and Rhonda Baker. Chris Jericho and Eleanor Wiebe are executive producers.
