james_desantis 's review for:
The Crimson Cage
by John Lees
The days of me watching or enjoying wrestling are pretty much way behind me. Though I loved it as a kid and young teen (Gave up around 15) I have no interest in it mostly nowadays.
Except if we're talking about the behind the scenes.
I love viewing it from a performer standpoint. Learning how they set up matches, all the politics that go into winning and losing a match, the way the worst of people on TV are a bundle of joy in real life. All of that is awesome and I love it.
Now put that into a horror setting? Where a decent guy sells his soul to get riches, and fame, and everything he ever wanted. But at what cost? Sign me the fuck up.
This gruesome story, done by John Lees and Alex Cormack, is depressing as hell but also a great insight to wrestling. I loved all that, I loved watching a sane man go insane to the point of murdering people for what he believes he needs. The fights in this are done really well and while I loved the murders, I did feel at times sometimes the scenes were too dark to tell what was happening and we did feel like we tipped into the insanity a bit too fast. But besides that, this is one of my favorite works by the duo, and right behind SINK. A 4 out of 5.
