Why ?

Everytime this kind of rubbish is made, I wonder where the money comes from to produce it. Do people actually buy this kind of movie ?! I would usually come across this kind of joke while browsing kat or popcorntime

Terrordactyl is a bit different. It isn't a SyFy or The Asylum production, it's an independent film and it's actually quite entertaining. It isn't meant to be great, just fun.

Agreed. It's awesome fun and actually well written. This isn't some generic junk to cash in on a weird title. There's a lot of effort here.

This is "grindhouse" without the tons of money QT pours into a film to make it look like a drive-in movie! Give this less than a year: People will be at eBay and other sites seeking a copy! From movies like this come the sometimes-near-future cult films.

"Rubbish" films are what used to fuel the drive-ins. Think how many of them are remembered and sought-after instead of many A movies that played the "real" theaters. (I'm a child of the '50s/'60s. Our family spent a lot of time at drive-ins!)

Interesting perspective thanks. In my european culture, "drive in"'s at not so much (if at all) a thing ;)

As far as made for TV films I thought that this was quite good fun.
