With Sharknado 5 making a splash on TV screens across the globe these past few weeks, what better time to visit the world of The Asylum? With a myriad of films under their belt, from their beginnings as king of the mockbuster to their foray into original film making, it’s no secret we’re big fans of these bastions of the direct to DVD market and have reviewed a Lot of their output! With that in mind, here’s my pick of the Top 5 (because it’s Sharknado Five… geddit?!?) movies from The Asylum in – shock, horror – order of preference…
5) Avengers Grimm
An off-the-wall mix of Grimm Fairy tale characters and superhero team-up movies which, frankly, should have been obvious given the title, Avengers Grimm’s plot is relatively simple: when Rumpelstiltskin uses the Magic Mirror to escapes to the modern world taking Snow White with him and destroying the mirror in the process,...

Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies
Stars: Bill Oberst Jr., Kent Igleheart, Rhianna Van Helton, Debra Crittenden, Chris Hlozek, Jason Vail, Ronald Ogden, Josh Sinyard | Written by Richard Schenkman, Karl T. Hirsch, J. Lauren Proctor | Directed by Richard Schenkman
Whilst it’s namesake Hollywood counterpart takes the battle to undead bloodsucking legions, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies sees Lincoln take on an all-together more daunting task… zombies. Opening with Lincoln as a child in the midst of the first zombie outbreak, an outbreak which took the life of his mother; the film follows the titular President as, in the middle of the American Civil War and prepping the Gettysburg address, he downs tools and heads behind confederate lines to battle the undead which have once again risen from their graves and whom have no qualms about chomping down on union or confederate, because as we all know zombies don’t discriminate!

Timeliness is one thing you can count on with the Asylum Entertainment. If there's a big event film hitting movie screens, they'll be one step ahead of the curve with their own version of the subject matter. This time around we learn that not only was Abraham Lincoln a vampire hunter, but he had another part-time job as a zombie killer.
"Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies" begins when the future leader of our country sees his mother die from an infection that turns her into a flesh-eating creature. He pushes the horrible ordeal behind him and goes on to become the President. Years later, he journeys behind enemy lines to find that "sick" soldiers are really the ravenous undead he encountered as a child. It's left to him to lead a band of famous historical figures in a mission to destroy the walking dead.
First off, I have to give props...
