Made For Sci-Fi Channel

[danielk]

I noticed a lot of talk in the remakes thread about the movies on the Sci-Fi channel. The economics of that is fascinating. Sci-Fi is basically taking the same amount of money they would have spent for broadcast rights to someone else's movie, and making one of their own. The downside is that the movie is crazy cheap, but on the plus side they have programming AND can sell the rights to someone else. Theoretically. I'm not sure how many buyers there'll be for MANSQUITO.

I'm a huge fan of these movies. You could call them a guilty pleasure in a sense, but I still watch them all the time. It could be because they feature three things I look for in films: fast pace, easy-to-digest storyline and lots of dead bodies.

However, I am the first one to admit that the CGI must be stopped. There ws simply no need to have such shoddy and very crappy CGI work in most of these. In most cases (see below) that's my main complaint about the films.

Funny, I just noticed in the original post that you mentioned Mansquito by name. Well, I just watched it and liked it. Edited into above post.

Since I went through a bunch of Sci-Fi Originals over the weekend, the post is now updated with the newest reviews.

Good lord, there are a lot of Sci-Fi-made movies.

And I can't really stomach a single one... no offense Slayrrr!! But then, I have this thing about how much I hate to watch a movie on "regular TV" anyway.

None taken, Q. I get a lot of shit on other sites because I like them, but different tastes, I guess.

And remember, that's not all of them either. There's still a few I don't have a review for.

Just added Basilisk: The Serpent King.
