The low-budget creature feature is a beloved subgenre that has only gained momentum over the decades. It arguably reached its cultural peak with Sharknado, when the Syfy channel rebranded itself to focus almost exclusively on such offerings, but in the years since, cult followings have emerged. There is a real demand for these sorts of easily digestible monster movies: low-budget, tongue-in-cheek creature features that don't aim to be taken seriously as pieces of cinema, but rather to appeal to those who love cheap, schlocky, unashamedly bad movies. You know, people like me.
