DuelGundam2099 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Syfy Channel originals, they are low budget classics that are primarily creature features that have been going on since 2002 with over 200 some film titles having the honor of being classified as such. With that said I figured we need a thread and I'll start by posting every original I've seen to date: Eye of The BeastKomodo vs. CobraHammerhead: Shark FrenzySS Doom TrooperManticoreSnakehead TerrorDinocrocSupergatorSabertoothAtomic TwisterCurse of the KomodoPterodactylCaved In: Prehistoric TerrorReign of the GargoylesHeadless HorsemanSnake KingBasilisk: The Serpent KingCerberusStan Lee's HarpiesLake Placid 2Lake Placid 3Lake Placid: The Final ChapterHouse of the Dead 2MammothDragon FighterDragon StormArachnidSpidersSands of OblivionSpecies 3Species: The AwakeningGrendelMan-ThingChupacabra: Dark Seas/Chupacabra TerrorDeep ShockSavage PlanetLarvaKraken: Tentacles of the DeepSomething BeneathGryphonMega SnakeSpiders 2Alien ApocalypseA.I.

505thAirborne Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If you mean "Classic" crappy super low budget movies, then SyFy (Screw You Frak You) sets the record for this legacy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuelGundam2099 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Yes well.... I don't think their crappy........ And that is all I have. I tend to notice people like the disaster flicks more than the monster features. Edited February 16, 2013 by DuelGundam2099 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 If you're gonna cover this, then you should include the full lineage of tha original crap movies that began the rain of crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Although completely forgettable some of them were almost decent. SS Doomtrooper was a hoot, and just the name "Mansquito" should be worth something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einherjar Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Stan Lee was involved in a SyFy movie? What was he thinking? Most of those movies I've only seen being made fun of on The Soup. Edited February 18, 2013 by Einherjar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyryder Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Exactly when did they go from trying, but failing miserably, to make good movies, to intentionally making bad movies? I'm pretty sure it happened sometime before the name change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Arms Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Whats cool about a lot of these films, is seeing some of the old stars being cast in them. The last few I've watched were Malibu shark attack, swamp shark, abominable snowman and primal. I got home one friday night and fell asleep watching another one with Bruce Boxleitner. It was called boneater. Edited February 19, 2013 by Golden Arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I still love this particular topic from io9 a few years back, where they were discussing what the next screwball monster movie should be. At one point, someone brings up the fact that they're running out of monsters... so they should start combining animals with forces of nature. Hilarity ensues. http://io9.com/5960981/syfys-next-hybrid-monster-should-be-bearantula Also, Mansquito always needed a sequel: Miss Quito.

DuelGundam2099 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 I finally managed to watch Sharknado.... And I was disappointed, it was quite meh. It was basically a zombie movie with sharks that travel through tidal waves with the actual tornadoes being irrelevant until the last fifth. At least Ghost Shark looks promising since the title monster can attack you on slip-n-slides and drag you down into buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 There were actually 11 critics who liked Sharknado. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 91% At least this guy was honest about it in his review, though he sounds like he's never seen an Asylum movie before.

505thAirborne Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Sharknado was so incredibly horrifyingly bad you couldn't help watch it to see just how much worse it could get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Arms Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I wonder who will be cast in the sequel. SYFY should reair it sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areaseven Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I wonder who will be cast in the sequel. SYFY should reair it sometime soon. The Asylum doesn't usually bring back the same actors for their sequels. So just think of any actor, actress or singer that hasn't been relevant over the past 30 years. After all, that's how The Asylum operates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 For raw title appeal, it's going to be hard-pressed to beat "Sharktopus vs Mermantula". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azrael Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It was the most talked about show last night apparently. ‘Sharknado 2’ Draws Syfy Record 3.9 Million Viewers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Haven't seen the second one yet, since we dropped our cable... So I take it there's much less sitting-in-car-squinting action this time? The wife was woeful the other day: she's a shark scientist and was unable to attend the big annual conference this year. Apparently they rented out a sports bar for the premier and put Sharknado2 on the big screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
