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

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.
