You may not recognize the name of this little studio “Asylum“, but the folks over there are quickly becoming my heroes… even though I’ve never actually seen one of their movies yet. These are the guys who make the blatant rip off movies at the same time the REAL ones are coming out in theaters… and so on the surface you’d think I’d hate them for that… but I DON’T! I think what they do is hilarious. I swear this is the truth… I want to host an Asylum viewing party at my place… get about 10 friends together and watch like 4 of their movies in a row. I think that would RULE!
Here is a bit of a run down:
AVH: ALIEN VS HUNTER (AVP)
Yes, that’s right folks. A huge rip of of Aliens vs Predator. Only I’m probably willing to bet this one might be better than the original.
MONSTER (Cloverfield)
They pretty much show you as much as the real movie does so far
TRANSMORPHERS (Transformers)
Just the name alone sounds hilarious
I AM OMEGA (I Am Legend)
Is it Omega Man? Is it I Am Legend?
The DA VINCI TREASURE (D Vinci Code)
Probably about as good as the original
INVASION OF THE POD PEOPLE (Invasion of the Body Snatchers)
Such a cleaver title!
PIRATES OF TREASURE ISLAND (Guess)
Wow… they’ve even got Lance Henriksen in it
SNAKES ON A TRAIN (Guess)
This was the first time I had heard about Asylum
I admire these guys for what they’re doing. The films are clearly very low budget, and they look hilarious. For all of you who are now looking down your noses at me for saying that… admit it… you’re at least CURIOUS to see one of these aren’t you?
So here’s a thought… what would you guys think if we did another Films For Food Fest… but just did it with all Asylum movies? That would rule!
