!!The following tropes frequently appear in these films:

* ''Red: Werewolf Hunter''

* ''High Plains Invaders''

* ''Boa'' (aka ''New Alcatraz'')

* ''Lavalantula''

* ''Film/PuppetMaster vs Demonic Toys''

* ''Beyond Sherwood Forest''

From 2000 to the present day, Syfy (formerly known as Creator/SciFiChannel) has produced and financed a number of low-budget, Z-grade horror and sci-fi movies. Many are made by the {{Mockbuster}} studio known as Creator/TheAsylum. The films are notorious for their poor quality and the resulting SnarkBait that makes them wildly hilarious.

* LegoGenetics: Animal genes can often be injected into people willy nilly to create part-human hybrids like Mansquito, Sharkman, and others. This is also the usual explanation for the MixAndMatchCritters.

!!The following tropes frequently appear in these films:

* ArmiesAreEvil: Or at least the American military is. It's also damn near omnipresent, as one movie shows that they have a secret base within almost literal spitting distance of Stonehenge (because they are, of course, hoping to weaponize it).
* BMovie: Syfy's become ''the'' biggest North American outlet for B movies in TheNewTens.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Seriously. Just look at the list of movies below.
* TheMockbuster: If a hot new fantastic genre film is hitting the big screen on Friday, expect to see the mockbuster version of it on the Saturday night small screen.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Though it didn't start there, the relative success of ''Film/{{Sharktopus}}'' has prompted a noticeable increase in beasties that combine one or more existing creatures: Piranhaconda, Crocosaurus, Pteracuda, etc.
* NukeEm: Rarely is there a situation in one of these films where ''someone'' won't default to "nuke the crap out of it." The few that don't feature that option are usually the "trapped on an X" variant with a tiny cast.
* OffTheShelfFX: To be expected, given the ultra-low budget of each film (some high tech firearms appear to be repainted Nerf guns).
* RockMonster: The SyFyChannelOriginalMovie... ''Rock Monster''.
* ScienceIsBad: A disproportionate number of these movies seem to advance the theory that science inevitably leads to giant mutated insects, and explosions are the only thing that can rectify such mistakes.
