Asylum Pictures
 

I have a question. Why is it that Asylum rips off all other films? I mean, come on....:

Hillside Cannibals = The Hills Have Eyes
666 The Child = The Omen
When A Killer Calls = When A Stranger Calls

And my personal favorite named knock-off:

Snakes On A Train = Snakes On A Plane

it's a pretty simple business model. They make films for less than $2 million and pre-sell the foreign distribution rights for nearly $1million.

The foreign market is hot for horror (always has been) and the blatant rip-off thing is purposefully employed to trick the audience (who speaks another language) into thinking this is the real deal instead of a blatant rip-off.

They then sell DVD distribution and tv rights here in the states and make decent cash doing this, so they continue.

got to admit, Snakes on a Train sounds pretty funny

True. I just find it a bit annoying when everytime I go to the rental store, I see yet another knock-off movie.

I know the director of the Hillside
Cannibals, and him and the asylum
just do those films for sales or fun. its
really no big deal, but I see were you
are coming from though. But the films
are quite different, like snakes on a
plane and Snakes on a Train, their
story plots are totally different.
The Hillside Cannibals is based on the
True story of the Sawney Bean family,
the story that inspired The Hills Have
Eyes. 666: The Child and the Omen
are, well yeah, they are a little of the
same, but When a Killer Calls, well
lets face it, that's based on an urban
legend. there have been many movies
about that story.

So their not really knock-offs

does anyone know this company's website?
