Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
In this case, it is less 'flattery' and more like 'greed.'
Before you sit down to watch a bunch of Horror Movies for Halloween, beware of some of these...
Let's begin with an easy one. When in doubt, add a word and the Lawyers can't touch you!
Likewise, changing one word- from Curse to Haunting- and you're golden!
In a bit of twist, this one takes one word from a famous Title, remove one word and then add another at the end. It's totally original now!
When Annabelle hit it big, alot of copycats emerged. This is perhaps the most egregious as far as making the Title as similar as possible...
When you make your Title as generic as 'The Nun,' it makes easy for imitators to work. This UK DVD Cover really leans into it too...
...and another. There are like 3 more, but you get the idea.
As a quick aside, this is not just with domestic Films. I found this long ago and still don't know what the hell it is, besides a clear copycat in marketing...
Last and certainly not least, a Film that appears to nearly copy the Title AND the Plot.
Yes, I will watch and Review this soon. UPDATE: It wasn't good.
In closing, watch what you, well, watch.
Not every Film is what it seems like...
