1.
Atlantic, Pacific, what’s the difference? -
2.
“No Grey – Only Black and White”. How subtle. -
3.
It’s the start of something new… or something derivative and without shame, apparently. -
4.
“AVH” borrows many elements from Fox’s movie: the suburban setting, the conflict between a brutal space Hunter and a vicious Alien, humans caught in the middle. The plagiarism is thoroughly apparent, right down to the mockbuster’s title. -
5.
Replace the plane with a train – it’ll be a whole new movie. -
6.
I probably wouldn’t buy this – not even for a dollar. -
7.
Robots in disguise… or robots rampaging Earth and enslaving humanity. Despite the distinction in premise, “Transmorphers” is a clear-as-day attempt to piggyback on the success of director Michael Bay’s adaptation of “Transformers”. -
8.
Released as a cheap copycat of “Paranormal Activity”, this 2009 film by The Asylum uses the former’s documentary-style filmmaking and low-budget setup to tell the story of a woman being sexually assaulted and killed by supernatural forces. -
9.
This mockbuster exists to take advantage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s first film; Metal Man is even designed similarly to Iron Man, to hammer the point home. -
10.
This one’s the cream of the crop, so to speak. With the success of Marvel Studios’ films, cash-grabbing knock-offs were to be expected – hence the existence of this mockbuster.
