Why Their Movies Should Be Sent To The Asylum

  1. Their main priority is making rip-offs/mockbusters of well-known films, for example, The Da Vinci Treasure is a mockbuster of The Da Vinci Code.
  2. Really bad and poor acting in most of their movies.
  3. Their mockbusters aren't well-researched. As a result, they get several things wrong about the source material.
  4. Quantity over quality: So far, they've made a whooping 110 movies, with most of them being mockbusters.
  5. On top of that, the titles aren't even consistent with what it's ripping off. Transmorphers is actually a Terminator knockoff, and The Terminators has a lot more in common with Battlestar Galactica than any of the Terminator movies.
  6. Most of the movies has terrible CGI effect and green screen, their CGI effect is really like a PlayStation 2/PlayStation 3 games or even a typical low budget fanmade live action YouTube videos.
  7. Lackluster sets, which mostly sets in Miami instead of Hollywood.
  8. Incredibly low-budgets; that's the reason why their CGI and green screen is absolutely atrocious.
  9. Awful, poor and downright insulting writing.
  10. To make even matters worse, they're just getting away with it to avoid lawsuits! This goes to show how blind they are to criticism.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. Some of their works are hilarious due to their poor quality and leeching such as Sharknado while others are passable such as their SyFy television series Z Nation, and their Netflix original show Black Summer.
  2. They do make original films as well, especially their early ones some of which are good such as its first film Bellyfruit.
  3. The Asylum is the least bad of the mockbuster film studios.
