The Asylum

Background
The Asylum is an American independent film company and distributor that focuses on producing low-budget, direct-to-video films. The company is notorious for producing titles that capitalize on productions by major studios, often using film titles and scripts very similar to those of current blockbusters in order to lure customers. These titles have been dubbed "mockbusters" by the press. Its titles are distributed by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment, GT Media, and as of 2015, Cinedigm. The studio has created a lot of films such as the Sharknado films, Izzie's Way Home, Trolland, CarGo (2017), Homeward, and the Syfy original series Z Nation.

Variant: On most films, a still version is used and is in a white rectangle.

FX/SFX: The door and the text.

Music/Sounds: A chainsaw sound and some other scary sound effects. The still version is silent.
