Parts Unknown
Wrestling and horror pretty much go hand-in-hand, from some of the dark characters such as the iconic The Undertaker and more recently to the handful of films that have mixed the two together such as Wrestlemaniac, From Parts Unknown: Fight Like a Girl, Monster Brawl, and Pro Wrestlers vs Zombies. Some hit the mark and some didn’t but, still, I had some fun with each of them. So, when word came that Richard Chandler (Gilgamesh, Witch Hunt) was working on a wrestling horror movie titled Parts Unknown, we jumped at the chance to take a peek.
The film follows the Von Strasser family who at one point where well-known in the wrestling world but, due to some of their violent antics and drug addiction, they’ve fallen on hard times and withered away from the spotlight. One of the most notable references to their demise was Hermann Von Strasser (William DeCoff) who noticed that the fans simply weren’t invested in the match but rather glued to their smartphones (cell phones), so he goes one step further and outright kills his opponent in the ring to get them to take notice. If you watch pro-wrestling today it’s pretty much a sign of the times, granted, not the “killing someone in the ring”, but some of the fans are more interested in throwing beach balls around.
