!!Television

In 2014 the studio made its first foray into TV production with the typically-shameless ZombieApocalypse [[Series/TheWalkingDead bandwagon]]-[[FollowTheLeader jumper]] ''Series/ZNation'', which [[PlayingAgainstType against pretty much all expectations]] has proven to be... not as completely horrible as its movies.

* StylisticSuck: Possibly. If nothing else, Scott Foy of Dread Central commented on how their early (then-current) mockbusters were a step down from their earlier films (which some horror sites were fairly impressed by), while the now-defunct SlasherPool noted ''Hillside Cannibals'' wasn't just worse than their earlier ''Detour'' but a lot worse; how much, if any, of this was intended as part of the middle finger at sequels and remakes is unclear.

** Somewhere along the line they stopped killing off the protagonist at the end, possibly because anger at the popularity of derivative works was part of the motivation or their mockbusters.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Apparently started produced mockbusters because "there's no market for originality", citing remakes and sequels in general - between constant profits and dismissal of several (but not all) lawsuits, they're not ''wrong''.

* LighterAndSofter: The Christmas movie Santa Claws from 2014 is the most family friendly film made by the company's standards.
