Yep, this is from Asylum, the company that puts out knock offs of popular movies in order to make a little money off their popularity.


Hills Have Eyes = Hillside Cannibals
Exorcism of Emily Rose = Exorcism: The Possession of Gail Bowers
The Omen = 666:The Child

And now...

Snakes on a Train. But wait...there's a trailer!

Warning: Clicking on this link will waste over 1 minute of your day. You won't get it back.

totally worth it for the last shot though.

I saw their booth at Comic Con. I was almost tempted to buy a copy. Almost.

This looks beyond bad...I mean, at least the concept works on a PLANE because you can't escape...here, these bastards could just JUMP off the motherfucking train...and that last shot was completely stupid...I'll have to give it a rent.

MATT

Don't forget, The Da Vinci Treasure, King of the Lost World, HG Wells War of the Worlds, Pirates of Treasure Island, and When a Killer Calls.

Wow, the snakes are "venemous"! They better be careful.

Also, they need to fire their foley mixer.

I'll give it a rent just for a laugh.

Don't forget...
The Da Vinci Treasure
Pirates of Treasure Island
H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds
When a Killer Calls
King of the Lost World (King Kong ripoff starring... Bruce Boxleitner???)

How does Snakes on a Train work when you can always get off?

Their web site is full-on cheese. The plot synposis' are fun to read and stupid as fuck, their films are obviously all B-movie bad. So bad, they're in fact.........bad.

These guys are gonna to be a guilty pleasure for me. In fact i may just buy their entire catalouge out of spite...Hey Lance Henrikksen and Luke Perry are in some of these films.
I haven't had a chance to go through the entire list of bad titles and rip-offs yet.

C. Thomas Howell looks to be their poster boy.

How soon before they start ripping off TV shows?

Boston Lawyers, Prison Escape, Emergency Room, Space Battlestar: Destination Earth, Plastic/Surgeons, Cop Shield, Green's Anatomy, FDNY Rescue, The Orange County.

Does their business depend on people who aren't very observent buying their movie by accident?

Don't forget clueless relatives who believe these knockoffs are gifts of comparable quality to the mainstream productions.

It looks like from their site that they actually sell a lot of these to the foreign market. A smart play since I'm sure a lot of secondary markets won't be getting some of these movies for a long time. Plus, what do foreigners know anyway.

The hard question is... can the knock off actually be worse than the original, when the original is Snakes on a Plane

Dude, the train gets eaten by a snake.

Did they spell venomous right in the trailer "Venemous"?

And how do you know that..

How can their biggest movie of the year NOT star C. Thomas Howell????

Same here. They had an interresting booth set-up with what seemed to be more booth-babes (or semi) than the usual booth. How do they get passed copyright? Do they simply claim their films as parody?

And this is a serious question.

:rofl: This made me absolutely laugh.

I wonder if The Asylum will make a Gobots movie when the Transformers movie comes out, and Street Sharks for when Ninja Turtles come out.

Hollywood Video gets these movies in. Some of them have been decent, several of them have been terrible. I'll rent this, at some point, becuase I like to subject my girlfriend to shitty horror B-movies.

The Asylum used to be a distributor for some really kick-ass indie films. I saw some fantastic movies from them like Dill Scallion, Chicks Man, and Art House.

That being said... bring on Snakes on a Train.

Holy shit I thought this was a joke thread. I can't believe some of these knockoffs actually exist. I'm half tempted to buy a few just to laugh at how bad they are. The Da Vinvi Treasure? Give me a break!
