They're definitely on my radar and I've read quite a bit about them but this was the first I actually got to see. Unfortunately as I don't tend to watch a lot of blockbusters, it doesn't make much sense to watch the mockbusters either as I don't have the reference points.<br /><br />Judging from this one, which was bad but fun, the Asylum knows precisely what it's doing and has a ball with it. The sad thing is that as much as the whole mockbuster concept keeps getting raised, they're really just making the same movies as the Hollywood studios, only with less budget and lesser known names. The quality probably isn't much different.Hal C. F.
