You would think that the worlds of horror and professional wrestling would meet and make magical beautiful music together, wouldn’t you? Both are brash, bright, crazy and incredibly fun when they’re good. Sadly… both are bloody awful if done poorly. I’ve seen a few movies that have attempted to blend horror and wrestling and I’m yet to see one that has done it particularly well. So… is Parts Unknown, directed and written by Richard Chandler (Witch Hunt), a wrestling horror flick that manages to blend the two mediums into an entertaining film?
It’s a simple premise, as you’d expect, with a violent family of wrestlers (not sports entertainers) who look for another way to satisfy their lust for blood.

"Now it's time to make one last sacrifice." Wild Eye Releasing has debuted an official Us trailer for an indie horror titled Parts Unknown, the latest from rural genre filmmaker Richard Chandler. After putting their bodies on the line for countless years, a family of professional wrestlers seek a brand new way to satisfy an impeccable bloodlust - by going on a spree of murder and carnage to satisfy their deal made with a demonic entity from another dimension. William DeCoff, Alexandra Cipolla, and Sarah Michelle star in this extremely low budget, extremely awful-looking, excessively violent horror film. I have to say it - this looks absolutely terrible in every possible way, not only pointless and unnecessary, but just brutal and wrong and shamefully un-amusing. But I guess they didn't make this for me. At least the trailer is totally free to watch. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Richard Chandler's Parts Unknown,...

His latest stars: Melantha Blackthorne (Death Race, 2008), Sarah Michelle, Alexandra Cipolla and former pro-wrestler Jake Roberts. Together, they bring they bring the story of the Von Strasser family to the screen. The Von Strassers, a family of unstable wrestlers, seek to reclaim their position within the wrestling industry, through any way possible. The film's first poster and casting details are hosted here. Director Chandler has a few things to say on his latest production. He says of Parts Unknown and its story: "it's original. Whether people can get past a smaller budget or not, no one can deny that this hasn't really been done. It exists in its own world." To blend horror and wrestling does come across as original. Though, the Trick or Treat podcast does blend these two elements often in their show.
