Transmorphers, AlienVsHunter, I Am Omega, Snakes On a Train
 
... but these movie titles are wrong i hear you say
... surely you mean Transformers, Alien Vs Predator, I Am Legend and Snakes on a Plane..dont you?

wrong...these are actual films made by the production company The Asylum

bassicly they take films that are about to be blockbusters and copy it with a very low budget, then release them a few days before they are due out.

Yeah, they specialize in releasing shitty movies that capitalize on the success of bigger movies.

Fuck these straight-to-DVD shot-on-digital bullshit films.

i dunno
i find it interesting
their money isnt going towards tom cruise or steven speilberg
they arnt sending near as much money as them
but are still making a living

plus i was reading before that alot of these films are filming before a trailer for the 'real' film has even been released

i guess it says something about the quality of hollywoods predictable films these days

and really...is it any different to hollywood only bringing out remakes and sequels?

Haha! Good find, Dan. Who would be stupid enough to watch them?

jakeonguitar 12.21.2007 05:16 AM

Hahah.

I went to Blockbuster to take a gander at movie films. I actually saw Transmorphers. That, and a few "horror" movies:

Dog Soldiers
Dirty Candy Stripers <-- (stripers, not strippers)
and something about the Boss from Hell

Yes, technology is available to everyone with a computer these days... unfortunately.

dog soldiers is a proper horror movie isnt it?
isnt that the british one about the werewolves and army

jakeonguitar 12.21.2007 05:56 AM

Yeah, admittedly. Most everything can be passed off as a horror movie. I mean, they even made a movie called Weasels Rip My Flesh... though it's a cartoon.

Yeah, I think horror movies are funny.

atsonicpark 12.21.2007 01:52 PM

yeah, dog soldiers is actually pretty good.

I watch about 200-300 horror movies/art movies/b-movies a year so I keep up with all this shit..

I haven't seen I Am Omega or.. Transmorphers.. did see Snakes and Aliens though.. fucking terrible shot-on-DV bullshit.

Go support Troma.

that looks fucking awesome!

ZEROpumpkins 12.21.2007 07:00 PM

Yeah I heard Dog Soldiers was pretty good. But it is certainly no fake horror movie.
