Alien Abduction (2005)
May 27, 2007Hospital for Alien Abductees
An early film from The Asylum set in a hospital for alien abductees, which director Eric Forsberg evokes with some paranoia and a great ending
The Asylum
Frankenstein Reborn (2005)
Jan 19, 2008Modernised Frankenstein
One of the early films from The Asylum, this offers a modernised retelling of Frankenstein where some interesting attempts to find modern-day equivalents for parts of the story befall one of their usual low-budgets
War of the Worlds (2005)
Sep 9, 2012Alien Invasion/H.G. Wells Adaptation
Where the legend of The Asylum and their low-budget mockbusters began, this was a cheap modernised version of the H.G. Wells novel that was released a day before the Spielberg film. Despite cheap effects, this adheres closer to Wells than Spielberg did and is better written than most Asylum product
Night of the Dead “Leben Tod” (2006)
Feb 11, 2007Zombies
Entry in the 00s zombie revival fad from the early days of The Asylum, this is the most gore-drenched zombie film ever made. Overlooked but a better film than you think
When a Killer Calls (2006)
Feb 13, 2025The Asylum Mockbuster/Slasher Film
One of The Asylum’s first mockbusters, designed to popularise on the remake of When a Stranger Calls
Exorcism: The Possession of Gail Bowers (2006)
May 17, 2018The Asylum Mockbuster/Possession Film
The Asylum's mockbuster response to the hit of The Exorcism of Emily Rose and actually a far more interesting film. This discovers itself with a go-for-broke trashiness that the horde of Emily Rose imitators balked at
Snakes on a Train (2006)
Aug 25, 2009Snake Vomiting Curse/Snakes Amok
The first of The Asylum's mockbusters intended as a soundalike copy of Snakes on a Plane, this ends up defeated by low-budget and one of the most absurd premises of any film in recent memory
Hillside Cannibals (2006)
Jun 17, 2021Backroads Brutality/The Asylum Mockbuster
One of the early mockbusters from The Asylum about a in-bred family of cannibals that live in a cave. This was made to come out the same time as the remake of The Hills Have Eyes
666: The Child (2006)
Jul 9, 2025The Asylum Mockbuster/Devil Child
An early mockbuster from The Asylum that came out the same day as The Omen remake, this conducts a blatant copy of The Omen on a low-budget
Supercroc (2007)
Jul 31, 2025Giant Crocodile
An early mockbuster from The Asylum, a copy of 2007’s crocodile amok films with a giant 100-foot-long crocodile heading towards Los Angeles
I Am Omega (2007)
Apr 3, 2010Last Man on Earth vs Zombies
A mockbuster from The Asylum that was intended to capitalise on the release of I Am Legend and in fact gets much more of the essence of the original Richard Matheson novel than the official film did
30,000 Leagues Under the Sea (2007)
Jun 10, 2014Jules Verne Modernisation
The Asylum conduct their cheap version of the Jules Verne novel, so cheap it doesn't even look like they went to sea or underwater to film. Here the oft-filmed Verne story has been modernised
The Apocalypse (2007)
Feb 13, 2025Oncoming Asteroid/Biblical Disaster Movie
One of the bizarre early oddities from The Asylum, a disaster movie about an oncoming asteroid. This also try to jump aboard the mid-2000s fad for Biblical movies where faith elements are combined with the scenario in ways that are bizarre
Transmorphers (2007)
Dec 9, 2015Asylum Mockbuster/Alien Robot Invasion
The Asylum's answer to Michael Bay's Transformers. Bay had a $150 million budget; they try to copy it for $250,000. To its credit, the film flies valiantly to deliver a watchable show in the face of inadequate effects
The Day the Earth Stopped (2008)
Sep 17, 2014The Asylum Mockbuster/Alien Visitors
A mockbuster from The Asylum that was released three days before the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still. While some of The Asylum's mockbusters have their amusements, this is cheaply and indifferently made
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)
Dec 16, 2013Underground Adventures/The Asylum Mockbuster
A mockbusters from The Asylum made to coincide with the big-budget Brendan Fraser film. Resemblance to the Jules Verne book fairly much ends at the title
War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave (2008)
Jan 17, 2018Alien Invasion
Sequel to The Asylum mockbuster version. Sequelising H.G. Wells is a daunting prospect and not too surprisingly this throws much of Wells out and creates its own film, which is undercut by a typical Asylum low budget
100 Million BC (2008)
Sep 21, 2021Time Portal to Prehistory/The Asylum Mockbuster
An Asylum mockbuster released at the same time as Roland Emmerich’s 10,000 B.C., this involves time travel mission into the prehistoric past that accidentally brings a dinosaur back to the present
Paranormal Entity (2009)
Sep 3, 2015Haunting Found Footage Film
The Asylum's answer to Paranormal Activity Oren Peli made his film for $15,000, which is about as cheap as it is possible to make a film; this manages to look even cheaper – simply someone wandering around with a camcorder that is at best aimed in the general direction of things happening
Transmorphers: Fall of Man (2009)
Aug 19, 2020Asylum Mockbuster/Alien Robot Invasion
Transmorphers was The Asylum's mockbuster copy of Michael Bay's Transformers and one of their better films. When Bay released his sequel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, The Asylum also made this prequel
Princess of Mars (2009)
Jan 17, 2010Planetary Adventure
The Asylum conduct their own version of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars adventures three years before the Disney film and, despite one of their impoverished budgets, do an almost halfway reasonable version
The Land That Time Forgot (2009)
Aug 18, 2010Prehistoric Lost World
A low-budget modernised version of the Edgar Rice Burroughs book about a group ending up on a lost island where dinosaurs still roam. Slightly better than usual for The Asylum
Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Nov 26, 2012Sherlock Holmes Steampunk Adventure
A mockbuster take on Sherlock Holmes from The Asylum released the same time as the Guy Ritchie-Robert Downey Jr film. Ben Syder makes for a neurotically subdued Holmes but the film takes a leap off into demented Steampunk territory to emerge as one of The Asylum's better offerings
The Haunting of Winchester House (2009)
Jul 14, 2015Haunted House
One of the tatty ghost stories made by The Asylum, sold with the association of famous haunted locations or murders. Minor moments of interest if you are prepared to wade through the over-hyped shocks
Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus (2009)
May 5, 2011Giant Monsters
The Asylum's first venture into the gonzo shark movie that would spin off a series of sequels and culminate in the Sharknado phenomenon. Despite one of the great attention grabbing titles of all time, this is an unmemorable affair
Mega Piranha (2010)
Jul 1, 2015Giant Fish Amok
If you could take it seriously, Mega Piranha would be a strong contender for a bad movie; however, its awareness of its own absurd shortcomings becomes its saving grace. The sight of giant piranha skipping down rivers and impaling themselves in the sides of buildings has an appealing delirium
Gacy House (2010)
Sep 9, 2014Found Footage/Haunted House
This has the great idea of paranormal investigators investigating the home of real-life serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Alas, Gacy is of zero relevance and the film no more that a tatty Found Footage effort
Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus (2010)
Jan 16, 2015Giant Monsters
The first sequel to The Asylum’s Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and marginally a better film. This is less sparing with the cheap effects, while in every other regard it plants tongue-in-cheek and tries to make a virtue out of the sheer ridiculousness of the action
The 7 Adventures of Sinbad (2010)
Jan 27, 2013Modernised Arabian Nights Adventure/The Asylum Mockbuster
Cheap mockbuster from The Asylum that was designed to exploit the success of the flop Prince of Persia. While ostensibly a Sinbad film, this confusingly abandons the Arabian Nights milieu and is set contemporary where Sinbad is not sailor but a corporate CEO stranded on a desert island
Almighty Thor (2011)
Sep 22, 2011Asylum Mockbuster/Norse God Comes to Earth
Another of The Asylum's mockbusters in this case blatantly ripping off the then recent Marvel Comics adaptation Thor, all made with The Asylum's typical cut-rate production values
2012: Ice Age (2011)
Dec 15, 2022Disaster Movie
One of several disaster movies set around the supposed year 2012 apocalypse made by The Asylum. Bad science abounds as a giant adrift glacier ends up creating a new Ice Age
Anneliese: The Exorcist Tapes (2011)
Sep 24, 2013True Life Exorcism/Found Footage Film
An Asylum film that has the idea of staging a retelling of the true-life Anneliese Michel story that formed the basis of The Exorcism of Emily Rose as a Found Footage film
Mega Python vs. Gatoroid (2011)
Jan 31, 2018Giant Animals Amok
The Asylum had hits with Mega Python vs Giant Shark and Mega Piranha, both featuring former teen pop stars Debbie Gibson and Tiffany as the leads. This pits both Tiffany and Debbie together in an epic bitch-fight against the backdrop of clashing giant animals with rather entertaining results
Battle of Los Angeles (2011)
Nov 5, 2011Alien Invasion/The Asylum Mockbuster
This was The Asylum’s mockbuster take on Battle Los Angeles, a rehash of alien invasion cliches but with modestly more vigour than most of their efforts
The Amityville Haunting (2011)
Oct 20, 2021Haunted House/Found Footage
Not long after the success of Paranormal Activity, The Asylum tried the bandwagon with the novelty of repackaging The Amityville Horror as a Found Footage film
2-Headed Shark Attack (2012)
Jan 9, 2013Giant Shark Amok
This is a killer shark film that is not taking itself too seriously. In their pursuit for the most absurd monster movie title, The Asylum have managed to get the balance of cheap effects and tongue-in-cheek treatment down near perfectly. The first in a series from The Asylum where each sequel added more heads.
Nazis at the Center of the Earth (2012)
May 28, 2012Nazis Under the Polar Icecap/Hitler with a Robot Body/Mad Science
Hands down the best film ever produced by The Asylum. How could one not like an entertainingly madcap concoction that features mad scientists, zombie stormtroopers, Nazi UFOs and Adolf Hitler preserved as a head in a jar attached to a robot body?
Shark Week (2012)
Dec 21, 2021Killer Sharks
Killer shark film from The Asylum in a plot where a druglord forces people to fight various sharks - sort of Survivor but with sharks instead of elimination rounds
Grimm’s Snow White (2012)
Aug 10, 2012Fairytale Adaptation
Another entry among 2012's spate of Snow White films following Mirror Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman. this was a low-budget mockbuster copycat from The Asylum
Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies (2012)
Mar 11, 2014Secret History/The Asylum Mockbuster
A halfway decent Asylum film that emerges better than the film it is ripping off, the overblown Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. The film does the historical crossover aspect with some ingenuity
Alien Origin (2012)
Jul 3, 2014Found Footage/Alien Encounter
The Asylum's mockbuster version of Prometheus where they have settled for giving us Predator as a Found Footage film (with a good few doses of Ancient Astronauts nuttinesss)
Rise of the Zombies (2012)
Jan 29, 2020Zombie Film
The Asylum have not delved into the zombie film as much as they have the gonzo killer shark, which they practically invented. This is one occasion on which they did and is unexpectedly a serious film with a reasonable name cast (including Danny Trejo as a zombie)
Age of the Hobbits (2012)
Feb 8, 2013The Asylum Mockbuster/Epic Fantasy
A mockbuster from The Asylum that sets out to copy Peter Jackson's The Hobbit such that Jackson and co sued, forcing The Asylum to change the title in several territories
100° Below 0 (2013)
Jan 14, 2016Disaster Movie/New Ice Age
Syfy Channel disaster movie about a mass volcanic eruption plunging Europe into an instant Ice Age. All the usual potted formulaic drama and cheap effects – the absurdity of the film is surely demonstrated by the fact that people wander about in the midst of -100 degree temperatures in t-shirts
500 MPH Storm (2013)
May 1, 2014Superstorm Disaster Movie
Another cheap Syfy Channel disaster movie about a superstorm created by an amok weather control experiment. The shoddy CGI effects and cliched pieces of canned drama fly thick
Sharknado (2013)
Aug 12, 2013Storm of Sharks/Deliberately Bad Film
This arrived as the same instant full-born bad movie cult sensation. Although you cannot help but feel that the people who ridiculed the film are missing out on the joke – in not seeing that it has been made as something intentionally absurd
AE: Apocalypse Earth (2013)
Jan 19, 2014The Asylum Mockbuster/Planetary Adventure
Another of The Asylum's mockbusters, intended to come out the same time as M. Night Shyamalan's After Earth. This feels like a cheap planetary adventure that recycles Avatar and Planet of the Apes
Age of Dinosaurs (2013)
Mar 10, 2021Genetically-Engineered Dinosaurs Amok
A modestly effective Jurassic Park copy from The Asylum with genetically-revived dinosaurs loose in L.A. and featuring better than usual effects
Jack the Giant Killer (2013)
Sep 12, 2013Fantasy Adventure
Another of The Asylum's mockbusters intended to capitalise on the release of Jack the Giant Slayer. Despite setting out to adapt Jack and the Beanstalk, there are no giants in the film
The Bell Witch Haunting (2013)
Dec 19, 2014Found Footage/Haunted House
Following Paranormal Activity, The Asylum made a series of Found Footage films with the novelty selling point of claiming the films were taking place on the sites of famous murders or haunted locations
13/13/13 (2013)
Jun 1, 2023Mass Insanity Outbreak
The Asylum made 11/11/11 and 12/12/12 and released them on said dates. Despite running out of exploitable months in the year, they then released a third film here
Hansel & Gretel (2013)
Nov 6, 2019Fairytale Horror Adaptation
Amid the 2010s spate of fairytales rewritten as dark adult fantasies, this was a quite good mockbuster copy from The Asylum. From the director of Sharknado, this is Hansel and Gretel by way of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Battledogs (2013)
Aug 25, 2021Werewolf Film
A halfway reasonable film from The Asylum with the military trying to appropriate werewolves for weapons purposes. A good premise despite so-so-effects work
Atlantic Rim (2013)
Aug 5, 2015Asylum Mockbuster/Giant Robots vs Giant Monsters
When Guillermo Del Toro made Pacific Rim, The Asylum conducted their own copy simply by switching US seaboards. While not exactly Oscar quality, this is one of The Asylum's better mockbusters
Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark (2014)
Jan 27, 2017Giant Shark vs Giant Robot Shark
Third in The Asylum's series of Mega Shark films where they borrow the Godzilla series' idea of Mecha-Godzilla and pit the Mega Shark against a robot copy of itself. Here the Mega Shark series is starting to approach the entertaining silliness of their Sharknado films but still flounder amid tatty effects
Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)
Aug 17, 2014Storm of Sharks/Deliberately Bad Film
Sequel to the bad movie phenomenon Sharknado Accompanied by a host of celebrity cameos, there is less the cheerful absurdity of the original than a film that is trying to recapture a spontaneously generated fad
Hercules Reborn (2014)
Dec 6, 2016Greek Mythological Hero/Asylum Mockbuster
The Asylum's offering amid the Hercules movie revival of 2014 – The Legend of Hercules and the Dwayne Johnson-starring Hercules. Those were ridiculed, while this rises to a level of averageness
Age of Tomorrow (2014)
Oct 29, 2015The Asylum Mockbuster/Alien Invasion
The Asylum's mockbuster answer to the Tom Cruise film Edge of Tomorrow, which has very little to do with it other than both featuring an alien invasion. A film created with more ambition than budget to convey it
Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys (2014)
Apr 27, 2015Animals Amok
From The Asylum, the same company behind Sharknado. The major surprise is that this is a monster movie that doesn't place tongue-in-cheek and aim as absurdly as possible. Average in all regards
Sleeping Beauty (2014)
Aug 19, 2016Fairytale Adventure/The Asylum Mockbuster
In the early 2010s, we had a series of fairytales rewritten as dark adult fantasies; The Asylum served up their own cheap copies – this was their version of Maleficent. Directed by actor Casper Van Dien, this not uninterestingly plays out as a fantasy adventure that follows the prince's attempts to enter the castle
Android Cop (2014)
May 18, 2014Cop and Android Partner/The Asylum Mockbuster
An Asylum mockbuster intended to come out at the same time as the RoboCop remake. Okay low-budget action and use of Cyberpunk tropes where the film's saving grace is a sense of humour
Age of Ice (2014)
Sep 6, 2023Disaster Movie
Low-budget disaster movie from The Asylum where the Middle East is covered in a sudden Arctic conditions with the onset of a new Ice Age
3 Headed Shark Attack (2015)
Nov 13, 2015Giant Shark Amok
With the Mega Shark and especially the Sharknado films, The Asylum played the killer shark film as ridiculously as possible with delirious results. In this sequel to 2-Headed Shark Attack, they get the blend of the tongue-in-cheek absurdity to a point of near-perfection
Avengers Grimm (2015)
Jan 24, 2016Team-Up Between Fairytale Princesses
The Asylum's response to Avengers: Age of Ultron. Not having their own superheroes, they have ingeniously created an adventure involving various fairytale princesses - a great idea that befalls miserable execution
Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (2015)
Aug 16, 2015Storm of Sharks/Deliberately Bad Film
Sharknado was an instant bad movie phenomenon; the first sequel felt a forced attempt to copy that. The good news is that with the third entry, the series gets the balance of tongue in cheek absurdity just right
Road Wars (2015)
May 30, 2017Post-Holocaust Action
A mockbuster from The Asylum released to ride on the coattails of Mad Max: Fury Road. Slightly more watchable than most of their offerings, although still cheaply made, this is the oddity of a Mad Max film with the addition of vampires
San Andreas Quake (2015)
Jan 3, 2018Disaster Movie/The Asylum Mockbuster
The Asylum's cheap mockbuster version of the big-budget Dwaye Johnson-starring disaster movie spectacle San Andreas. Passable as general fare from The Asylum, about the level of the average filler tv movie and with effects to a not-too-bad standard
Martian Land (2015)
Jan 8, 2016The Asylum Mockbuster/Disaster on Mars
The Asylum's response to the box-office success of The Martian. The script has only made minimal effort to research the science but this works somewhat better than their usual fare
Hansel vs Gretel (2015)
Dec 30, 2019Modernised Fairytale
Sequel to The Asylum's spendidly grotesque Hansel & Gretel, this pits the two characters against one another for contrived reasons to justify its title but is just cheaply made
Mega Shark vs Kolossus (2015)
Feb 25, 2020Giant Monsters
The fourth of The Asylum's Mega Shark films and the best of the series where they get the balance of tongue-in-cheek absurdity just right and the low-budget effects prove surprisingly good
Ice Sharks (2016)
Feb 17, 2017Killer Sharks Attack Polar Base
Another killer shark film from The Asylum, the people behind the Sharknado films. This plays itself seriously and turns out a reasonable story about the crew of a polar base under attacks by prehistoric sharks
Planet of the Sharks (2016)
May 15, 2017Drowned Future/Killer Sharks
Another gonzo killer shark from from The Asylum who made the Sharknado films. Played somewhat more seriously than other entries, this has been conceived as Waterworld with killer sharks
Isle of the Dead (2016)
Feb 23, 2022Zombie Film
A zombie film produced by The Asylum that appropriates the name of the Val Lewton classic (and Arnold Bocklin’s painting) but is actually a low-budget copy of Resident Evil
Independents’ Day (2016)
Mar 6, 2018Asylum Mockbuster/Alien Invasion
The Asylum's mockbuster answer to Independence Day: Resurgence, a rehash of Independence Day on a cheaper budget. The desire to copy the title has forced some plotting oddities onto the film
Little Dead Rotting Hood (2016)
Sep 13, 2020Little Red Riding Hood Resurrected as a Werewolf Hunter
This had me watched on the basis of the title alone. An Asylum production, this is less a twisted take on the fairytale than one that turns Little Red Riding Hood into a werewolf hunter
Sharknado: The 4th Awakens (2016)
Aug 14, 2016Storm of Sharks/Deliberately Bad Film
The bad movie hit of Sharknado was a surprise to everyone and spawned sequels. By this point, creativity appears to have dried up – essentially, the Sharknado series has jumped the shark
Sinister Squad (2016)
Dec 23, 2016Team-Up Between Fairytale Villains
The Asylum made Avengers Grimm as a copycat of The Avengers films, featuring a team-up of fairytale heroines, and so for the release of Suicide Squad they made this sequel featuring a team-up of fairytale villains. Both films are utterly incomprehensible and require you to essentially ignore the originals
Zoombies (2016)
Dec 1, 2017Zombie Zoo Animals
From The Asylum, the company that brought the world Sharknado and 2-Headed Shark Attack, a film about a zoo filled with zombie animals. Played more seriously than you might expect, this falls just between The Asylum's usual corner cutting and the odd moment of effectiveness
Empire of the Sharks (2017)
Jun 16, 2020Drowned Future/Killer Sharks
Another killer shark film from The Asylum, the people behind the Sharknado. This is a sequel to their earlier Planet of the Sharks and takes placed in a Waterworld-styled drowned future
CarGo (2017)
May 29, 2024The Asylum Mockbuster/Animation/Talking Vehicles
A mockbuster from The Asylum released to take advantage of Pixar’s Cars 3, this is actually a much better film that you expect it to be
5 Headed Shark Attack (2017)
Jan 12, 2018Giant Shark Amok
The Asylum, the company behind the Sharknado phenomenon, made 2 Headed Shark Attack. Figuring the only way to top that was to keep adding more heads we had 3 and now 5 Headed Shark Attack
Oceans Rising (2017)
May 28, 2019Global Warming Disaster Movie
Disaster movie from The Asylum set around global warming. Notable for two things - the wackiness of the scientist's scheme to save the planet by creating black holes, and the cheapness of the production, which does almost everything it can to avoid effects shots
Jurassic School (2017)
Aug 14, 2019Children's Dinosaur Film
The Asylum offer up their own mockbuster copy of the Jurassic World films, an amiable children's film where a young boy hatches a dinosaur egg he finds
Sharknado 5: Global Swarming (2017)
Aug 19, 2017Storms of Sharks/Deliberately Bad Film
By this point, the Sharknado series has gone from an amusingly tongue-in-cheek original to a series that is widely signalling that it is not taking anything that happens remotely seriously
Geo-Disaster (2017)
May 4, 2021Disaster Movie
A disaster movie mockbuster from The Asylum that was intended to exploit the (non)-success of Geostorm. Directed by the writer of the Sharknado films
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (2017)
Jul 17, 2017Modernised Arthurian Legends/The Asylum Mockbuster
NOT the Guy Ritchie film but an Asylum mockbuster released at the same time. The most WTF take on the Arthurian legends ever with the Knights as gun-wielding US Marines
Troy: The Odyssey (2017)
Mar 19, 2018Greek Myth
The Asylum takes on Homer. One is tempted to say Homer loses to The Asylum but this freely rearranges the basics and The Asylum deliver a solid effort that rises above the mediocrity they usually aim for
6-Headed Shark Attack (2018)
Feb 10, 2019Multi-Headed Killer Shark
The Asylum's Multi-Headed Shark Attack series hasn't quite hit the sense of delirious absurdism that their Sharknado films did - the only gimmick the series has is to keep adding heads to the shark. On the other hand, a scene where where the shark emerges onto land walking on two of its heads will have you rolling on the floor in laughter
Avengers Grimm: Time Wars (2018)
Apr 29, 2019Team-Up Between Fairytale Princesses
Released at the same time as Avengers: Infinity War, this was a mockbuster from The Asylum involving a team-up between fairytale characters. The third in their Avengers Grimm series
Tomb Invader (2018)
May 6, 2019Tomb Raiding Adventures/The Asylum Mockbuster
The Asylum's mockbuster response to the theatrical reboot of Tomb Raider. This is cut-priced and features globe-spanning adventures that never travel outside of California
Hornet (2018)
Jun 13, 2024Transformer Robot
An Asylum mockbuster aimed to exploit the release of the Transformers spinoff BumbleBee. This has the unique distinction of being a Transformers-type film shot as Found Footage
Nazi Overlord (2018)
Jul 25, 2019Nazi Mad Science Experiments/The Asylum Mockbuster
The Asylum's mockbuster answer to the J.J. Abrams' produced Overlord concerning GIs on a mission behind enemy lines encountering Nazi mad science. Passably well made for the most part
Flight 666 (2018)
Jul 27, 2022Haunted Plane Flight
A halfway reasonable film from The Asylum where passengers in the midst of a plane trip realise part way through that their flight is haunted
Triassic World (2018)
Nov 6, 2025Dinosaurs Amok
A mockbuster from The Asylum that was designed to capitalise on the release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, this is a low-budget CGI dinosaur film that is slightly better than most
Atlantic Rim: Resurrection (2018)
Jul 2, 2026Asylum Mockbuster/Giant Robots vs Giant Monsters
When Guillermo Del Toro made Pacific Rim, The Asylum switched US seaboards to make Atlantic Rim. With the release of the Pacific Rim sequel, The Asylum followed in kind
Megalodon (2018)
Dec 16, 2019Giant Prehistoric Shark
The Asylum's low-budget mockbuster copy of The Meg, which is an irony in that The Meg was really an Asylum killer shark film with an A-budget. Two sequels followed.
The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time (2018)
Dec 14, 2018Storm of Sharks/Deliberately Bad Film
The sixth of the Sharknado films, this has the usual crew fighting sharknados throughout history. With this comes the recognition there is nowhere more ridiculous and over-the-top for the series to go
Clown (2019)
Mar 31, 2020Killer Clown
The Asylum's mockbuster version of It: Chapter Two. From Eric Forsberg, one of the better directors to emerge from The Asylum, this involves a group of teens being pursued around a funhouse by a killer clown.
Zoombies 2 (2019)
Sep 11, 2025Zombie Zoo Animals
Zoombies, based around the idea of zombified versions of zoo animals, was a modest hit for The Asylum. While announcing itself as a sequel, this actually acts as a prequel explaining the origin of the zoombie outbreak
Monster Island (2019)
Jun 7, 2021Monster Movie/The Asylum Mockbuster
One of the better mockbusters from The Asylum, timed to come out at the same time as the US Godzilla, King of the Monsters and actually far more modestly enjoyable
