10 Awesome Recent Movies You'll Never Watch Again

2. The Iron Claw

The Iron Claw is one of the best films ever made about the world of professional wrestling, second perhaps only to Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler, and like that film, it paints an extremely bleak picture of the industry's historic tendency to destroy lives.

Sean Durkin's biographical drama depicts the legendary Von Erich wrestling dynasty from the late 1970s through to the early 1990s, chronicling the family's bevy of premature deaths which led to them being deemed "cursed."

Though richly mounted by Durkin and brilliantly acted by its ensemble cast - best of all a never-better Zac Efron - this is an almost unbearably devastating drama in which death is always around the corner.

In fact, the real story - in which five of the six Von Erich sons died before the age of 35 - is so upsetting that Durkin decided to erase the youngest of the brothers, Chris, from the story entirely, feeling that his death at age 21 was "one more tragedy that the film couldn't really withstand."

As wonderfully crafted as The Iron Claw is from top to bottom, it takes a lot out of the viewer, and so all but the most die-hard wrestling fans will likely decide that one viewing is enough.
