Oh, those rascals at The Asylum. If you don’t know who The Asylum are, then you’ve probably never seen one of their rip-off movies like “Transmorphers”, “Snakes on a Train”, “100 Million BC”, or “The Da Vinci Treasure”. Basically, the Asylum’s M.O. is to scan the trades for a big-time Hollywood movie that’s due to come out soon, then rush their own similar-sounding copy into videostore shelves before that big-budget movie to capitalize on the free publicity. You can probably guess what “Transmorphers” and “Snakes on a Train” were trying to crib. The Asylum’s latest is “The Day the Earth Stopped”. Gee, I wonder which soon-to-be-released Hollywood movie this one’s trying to crib?
