Monster:Cloverfield::Snakes on a Train:Snakes on a Plane
The director of the Snakes on a Plane rip-off Snakes on a Train, Eric Forsberg, has another knockoff debuting this week: Monster, a rip-off of the upcoming J.J. Abrams flick Cloverfield. I find these knock-offs completely riveting, like alternate versions of reality wondrously full of cheese-laden actors. Check out the trailer at Slashfilm. Also check out this article in the NYTimes about the "mockbusters" genre of films, including Transmorphers and The Da Vinci Treasure.
