Originally released in the US at the end of December 2021, with no fanfare, publicity, or (at the time) even an IMDb page, War of the Worlds: Annihilation is the latest film made by The Asylum exclusively for US streaming service Tubi and now making its UK debut via 101 Films. Like their first Tubi original film, Swim, I’ve found their films to be hit or miss, usually miss and the way this was originally dumped quietly in the middle of the holiday season didn’t do anything to make me hopeful about what I was about to watch.
A massive group of meteorites, which for some reason the characters keep calling asteroids, fall from the sky all over the globe releasing a strange toxic smoke. The military,...

It’s interesting to see that the classic monsters of yesteryear, the kings of horror storytelling – Dracula, the Mummy, the Wolfman – are all returning to the [small] screen in new and different takes on the existing mythos. Us Brits had a go with films like The Mummy Reborn and its sequel and the more recent Bram Stoker’s Van Helsing; both made on a low budget by indie filmmakers. Now it’s the turn of American indie king’s The Asylum to have a crack at a legendary horror icon with Dracula: The Original Living Vampire – a film whose title would suggest was Supposed to be a cash-in on the Sony/Marvel film Morbius… after all, in the comics Morbius if dubbed “The Living Vampire” too!
But this is definitely no Morbius.

As if we needed any more disaster this year, along comes Apocalypse of Ice from mockbuster kings The Asylum!
This time round, as if The Asylum haven’t already made a boat-load of these apocalyptic nature films before – including when Hollywood went crazy on the same subject – a massive polar vortex threatens to cover nearly all of Earth in ice. Oh and did I mention the world is also in the middle of a global pandemic..? Yes as if a pandemic wasn’t enough, in this film we get a global apocalypse too!
But hey this is The Asylum, so you know what that means don’t you? Stock footage aplenty, from empty streets thanks to a real-world pandemic, to...
