Mockbuster

About This Movie

Mockbuster is this intriguing documentary that dives into the chaotic world of low-budget filmmaking, particularly through the lens of Anthony Frith, who's working with The Asylum, the studio that brought us Sharknado. The film captures this bizarre behind-the-scenes journey while he directs The Land That Time Forgot in Adelaide. There's this fascinating contrast between the absurdity of the project and the genuine struggle of making it happen on a shoestring budget. Frith's self-reflection, paired with the practical effects and wacky performances, really pulls you into the hustle and the inevitable mishaps. The pacing has this off-kilter vibe that matches the absurdity of the subject matter. It's an honest look at what it means to create in the world of schlock cinema.
