Dark Match (2025) Cast, Release Date, Trailer & Everything to Know

Dark Match cast: Steven Ogg, Michael Eklund, Sara Canning. Dark Match Release Date: January 31, 2025 (Shudder). Dark Match Director: Lowell Dean. The film follows the wrestling company as they take their show to this isolated location, lured by the promise of a hefty paycheck.

Dark Match is a Canadian Action-Horror movie (2025). Steven Ogg, Michael Eklund, Sara Canning are the main cast of Dark Match (2025). While the trailer reveals that Dark Match is a low-budget production with its limitations, this doesn’t detract from the promise of delivering thrilling fights and bloody spectacle. Dark Match is set to premiere on Shudder on January 31, 2025.

Dark Match offers a visually striking experience, though its narrative, despite its bold premise, doesn’t fully capitalize on its potential. The blend of wrestling, satanic themes, and retro aesthetics is intriguing, even if the execution feels uneven at times.

Director Dean employs a wealth of visual techniques, bathing the film in vivid, giallo-inspired colors reminiscent of vintage VHS tapes. This creates an oppressive and mysterious atmosphere, drawing comparisons to Panos Cosmatos’s Mandy (2018). However, critics note that Dark Match doesn’t quite reach the same level of unhinged intensity. The satanic elements in the film feel more theatrical than genuinely menacing.

Jericho’s passion for horror has also influenced his wrestling career, particularly with his ‘Painmaker’ persona during his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling, which incorporated horror and macabre elements. While Jericho has expressed interest in developing the Painmaker character into a film, updates on the project have been scarce in recent years.

Dark Match Plot:

A small-time wrestling promotion accepts a lucrative offer to perform in a remote, rural town, only to discover that the community is controlled by a mysterious cult leader with sinister plans for their event.
