Mockbusters

It's late at night and you're bored so what do you do?

I don't know about you but my friends and I search through Netflix for the cheapest looking movies (A.K.A: Mockbusters).
If you've ever watched movie channels late at night you have undoubtedly taken at least a glimpse at a mockbuster movie. They are generally movies that closely represent big-production films in plot and title. 

For example: Snakes On a Train, Piranha, and Transmorphers are all B-rated movies that are obviously a play on popular films (Snakes On a Plane, Jaws, and Transformers)

Some people feel really cheated when they watch these films. Honestly, what did they expect?

Others watch these movies purposely as a source of entertainment and humor. 

Personally, these films (as cheesy as they are) are entertaining and I don't see a problem with the production of them. I mean, have you ever seen Rubber? Entertaining. Seriously. Watch it. 

Summary: Mockbusters aren't harming anyone. They're entertaining.
