You have to give The Asylum credit — they’ve mastered the art of the ripoff. These 21st century hucksters churn out an impressive number of chump-ready “mockbusters” (or “knockbusters”), low-budget DVD flicks solely designed to mimic upcoming high-profile genre movies.
These cheapie imitators are conveniently released to video shelves when their legit counterpart hits theaters, and they almost always feature lawsuit-skirting cover art and titles (examples include AVH: ALIEN VS HUNTER, I AM OMEGA, DEATH RACERS, THE DAY EARTH STOPPED, and so many more), familiar C-list actors, shoddy special effects, and filmmaking that varies between borderline competent and amusingly terrible.
The trailer for their latest thinly disguised forgery THE TERMINATORS can be found below. Enjoy!
