not sure if any1 else is familiar with this movie company..but they always try to cash in on some of the bigger horror movies..by making a movie exactly like it and releasing it a few weeks before the bigger budget movie makes it to theaters..here are some examples


666:Child which ripped off The Omen

Hillside Cannibals ripped off The Hills Have Eyes

Snakes On A Train ripped of Snakes On A Plane

When A Killer Calls ripped off When A Stranger Calls

Transmorphers ripped of Transformers

Da Vinci Treasure ripped off Da Vinci Code

H.G. Wells War Of The Worlds ripped off yep you guessed it War Of The Worlds

Hitchhiker ripped off The Hitcher

Pirates Of Treasure Island ripped off Pirates Of The Caribean

Exorcism: The Possession Of Gail Bowers ripped off Exorcism Of Emily Rose



thats all i can think of now but there are plenty more..i have seen most just outta curiosity..they are cheesy fun becayse there usually much more gory then the movie they are ripping off..but its a hack company..i dont know how they havent been sued yet

[lazario]

They may never be sued.

[tsmooth31]

they prob wont be since they havent been yet..but i mean cmon get your own idea

[lazario]

There are companies that rip off Disney left and right. And they keep doing it. I honestly think maybe it's not so easy to sue rip-off companies anymore...

LOL at "Snakes on a Train" That's the MOST obvious rip-off title out of all of those. ;D

[tsmooth31]

yea i couldnt believe they actually made that movie...i had to see it just for the hell of it..wasnt as cheesy as i thought it would be since they used real snakes..except for one at the end.. it was a big CGI snake.. looked like it was from an original playstation game

I downloaded a movie called Plane Dead a while back, but haven't watched it yet. It was originally supposed to be called Zombies on a Plane, but they changed the title when Snakes on a Plane was announced.

^^ yea it actually came out on dvd called flight of the living dead..i downloaded it last week..very dissapointing movie..i expected it to be fun but it was anything but...took along time to get going..no real gore..alot of blood but i dont really count that as gore..and the ending was to long and dragged up..felt like a scifi original movie..im a huge zombie fan but this movie was just bad..id say skip it

There's nothing I hate more than unoriginal people. Well, maybe liars, but posers are definitely a close second. Someone should find the CEO of this hack operation and beat him with a sack filled with oranges. Or a hot sack of nickels. Either one is good.

[tsmooth31]

haha the producer of some of them actually posts on imdb..iv seen him get ripped hard..

[Evil Dave]

lol, i would hope so!
