My first venture into the strange world of The Asylum:

Haunting of Winchester House (http://www.mondo-esoterica.net/Haunting%20of%20Winchester%20House.html) is marketed as a modern shock-a-minute horror film, but like most Asylum films this is bit of a misrepresentation. It is actually a quite mild but effectively atmospheric little horror film shot in the old red/green 3D format (see the review for some images).

100 Million BC (http://www.mondo-esoterica.net/100%20Million%20BC.html) (2008) is classic Asylum - trying to make a big elaborate thriller with no budget, but sadly the script is as bad as the CGI and wastes a lot of interesting ideas. One to miss.
