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
