You’ll be able to grapple with the wrestling-horror movie early next year.

A new poster has been unveiled for DARK MATCH, which will stream exclusively on Shudder beginning Friday, January 31. Written and directed by Lowell Dean of the WOLFCOP films, it stars Chris Jericho (TERRIFIER 2 and 3), Ayisha Issa, Steven Ogg (THE WALKING DEAD), Sara Canning, Michael Eklund (THE CALL) and Jonathan Cherry, with cinematography by Karim Hussain (POSSESSOR, WE ARE STILL HERE). The synopsis: “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.”
