Micro-Budget Film on the Rise

Mike Fleming suggests that major movie studios are “rethinking the idea of overspending on risky projects.” 

However, he also predicts that the quality of the films will be the same (aka, just as awful). I agree, in a sense. These sort of fake documentary horror movies have been more frequent the past couple years, so it’s possible it’ll turn into a genre. When studios grab onto a genre or market, they always take it too far or try to control too much, which could be detrimental. But, I think it’s a little pessimistic to assume all of them will fail critically. I would also rather see small budget films like The Devil Inside than see junk like Battleship, which cost an unbelievable amount to make.
