what the asylum does is, see a good movie coming out in theatres, then release their version of it straight to dvd right before or at the same time the real movie comes to theatres lol. Their films tend to break even after about 3 months and dont cost over a million bucks, seems like a good business lol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Asylum Check out their films lol.

Personally, I thought Alien vs. Hunter was some of their best work...

I love how the Asylum is so straightforward about making movies that blatantly ride on the coattails of blockbusters. I actually almost confused "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "The Day the Earth Stopped" at the store once lol

actually "acquired" megashark vs giant octopus and sat thtough it, but then again i did the same thign with john cenas "the marine"....pro-tip: if the starring actors in the movie look more like porn star actors (cue:deborah gibson) than anything else you can be sure youre in for a treat.

Watched the Megashark vs Giant Octopus trailer and thought "Oh, this is a just a really bad movie lol"

Watched the Mega Python vs Gatoroid trailer and thought "Wait nvm, these are just trailers for fun"

Read the thread, found out these were real, and I'm still baffled.

Me and my friends are running a Swedish Creature Feature-blog! We recently watched this movie, but it hasn't been reviewed yet. But there's alot of other reviews available, check them out!

Enjoy!

I just dont understand why syfy continues to fund crappy movies. Are they really that desperate for viewers that they can make a mockery of themselves?

Some of us love watching terrible movies for comedy sake. SyFy is completely aware of it's niche. It's a great channel to turn to when nothing else is on. I watched Megashark vs. Giant Octopus with my roommate one day. We hadn't heard of it before, just thought it was another SyFy movie.

Then......

I don't think we've ever laughed so hard at a movie.

Edit: already been posted, but w/e. It's that good.
