The Asylum, you may have never heard of them, but if you've ever ventured through a video rental place (all of their movies were never in theaters, but only on DVD's), I'm sure you may've seen some of their videos, and thought to yourself "WTF?" Well, The Asylum is a devilish little movie studio who makes blatent copies of smash movies. I'll go through a list through each one.
*King of the Lost World - This is the first of the movies that I've seen of theirs. It looks very similar to King Kong, and guess what - It was released on DVD one day before Peter Jackson's King Kong was released in theaters!
*When a Killer Calls - I don't know why they felt like coping off When a Stranger Calls (which in turn was also a not so good movie), though they did. Just like the REAL movie, a babysitter is being terrorized by a killa.
*666: The Cild - A movie about two peeps adobpting a child who ends up being a DEVIL! Released the same day as the extremely similar movie The Omen.
*Hillside Cannibals - Released 18 days after the similar The Hills Have Eyes.
*Pirates of Treasure Island - Released a few days before Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Not only does it feature a similar plot and an actor who is obviously based of Jack Sparrow, though it's boxart is also very similar to the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
*Snakes on a Train - Need I say anything?
*Dragon - Probably based off of Eragon, though the story is pretty different.
*30,000 Leagues Under the Sea - God I hate the Asylum, you just can't get much lower...
*Transmmorphers - ...Or can you?
