Mockbuster Movies (Part 2)
A mockbuster is a film created to exploit the publicity of another major motion picture with a similar title or subject. These films are often made with a low budget and quick production to maximize profits. Mockbusters are made concurrently with upcoming films and released direct-to-video around the time the film they are inspired by is released. The title or packaging may be similar enough so consumers confuse it with the actual film it mimics.
