Movies made by the SciFi Channel.
Didja catch their atttempt to copy the basic premise of AVP last weekend? Pitiful...
Is it just me, or would calling them "B" movies be an insult for "B" movies.
I'll give 'em points for their mini-series (Dune, Chldren of Dune, even Tin Man) and some of their series (Battlestar Galactica) but, IMNSHO, their one-shot movies are about as bad as they can get. they must be made by some big-wig's family company.
And, how many angry, giant creatures can they come up with?
True Criticisms all but....
There's a couple of things you gotta remember.
1. SciFi's a niche market.
2. They're a cable only network.
3. They don't have the money or budgets that HBO, the big 3 or the studios have.
4. At least they're "trying".
My biggest knock on Sci Fi channel original movies is... they suck, but I expect them to. I view the Sci Fi Channel as what you'd get if you gave Ed Wood or Roger Corman a network and a few hundred thousand bucks and said...
"Okay kid go out and make me some movies."
Well this is about what you'd get.
