  • I recently stumbled upon a knock off movie titled Alien Predator which I simply must share with you all. Which is worse: the writing or the VFX?

    Amazon Prime is actually one of my guilty pleasures. Because, the barrier to publishing is so low, pretty much anyone can put a movie on Prime and as long as it doesn't drop below 1.5 stars (I think) you can watch a whole catalog of amateur, shoestring budget movies that aren't usually great--but entertaining for the wrong reasons.

      I loved a Welsh Merlin film they put out. Shot in Wales with Welsh people, though not in Welsh. The magic effects may have been done by crayon on the film itself but the actors were obviously having fun. A lot of the actors had other jobs, I remember Vortigern had loads of credits including horse wrangler.

      I heard a profile (on NPR, maybe?) of the Asylum a decade or more ago, and their boast was that they'd made money on every movie they'd ever produced. Their big secret was simply that they sold the movie first - distribution deals, TV rights, and the like - typically with nothing more than a title. Once they had the cash in hand, they'd budget the film well under that amount. Only then would they worry about details like a script.

      Reminds of those bygone days when, in the period between a Disney movie being released in the theaters and it coming out on video, you'd go into your local Blockbuster Video, and see a cheap knock-off video one of these little companies would produce, obviously to try to hoodwink folks who were (or their kids were) just a LITTLE too impatient for the actual Disney film to make it to home video.

      Yes, and also:
      A very spread out light from one side (45 degrees to the camera) that is just a bit brighter than the one one the other side and no light straight from the camera area.
      To make it look good also add a light from directly above the subject coming down on the hair.
      Don't have any light coming upwards unless you are making a horror film.
      This keeps the reflected light from the face of a picture from going to a camera but also provides enough shadow effect on the face so that we get the depth perception thing working.

    Gah! So sorry some of your money got stolen, Emma! That happened to me last year with my finances, albeit not as much but it's always alarming because they could also steal your identity on a larger scale. I hope you can get recompensated or hope at least it doesn't happen again. Anyway, being a former infantryman in the U.S. Army, I can say that the protocols and details of how soldiers are portrayed in even big budget movies, is often inaccurate so it was definitely...far from good in this discount Predator lol. I mean they are supposed to be part of the Navy and I assume, Navy SEALS, but the uniforms are definitely not right and little/no accurate protocols again. Even the main Predator movie did not get certain things right like the types of weapons they would be issued and how they held them but of course we loved it for other reasons.

      Yeah, that's what I though, too. On the other hand, however, it's one of the myriad of violations of the "Chekhov's Gun" principle that this movie commits and I suspect that triggered Emma (as it likely would many movie critics). The principle says that in a narrative plot (such as a movie) every element you put in should have a reason for being included, otherwise don't put it in (as otherwise it would only be distracting).

    On the other hand, during the days of VCRs, $1 VHS rentals, and Blockbuster Video, my best friend and I would spend weekends binge-watching the "worst" B-movies, generally among the Horror and Sci-Fi genres, and it was entertaining as hell in a "so bad that it's good" kind of way.
