WATCH NOW Roadkill serves as a reminder of just how challenging it is to put a film together. Given how accessible motion pictures are in this day and age, we often overlook the effort that goes into creating quality movies.

WATCH NOW Before I start my review, let me link you to my review of one of their films, Amityville Haunting, to prove that I indeed do not work for The Asylum. I gave it a merciless rating of 2 out of 10. I’m on The Asylum’s official mailing list, so I base my reviews
