| 3 | From 2000 to the present day, Creator/{{Syfy}} (formerly known as Sci-Fi Channel) 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 that makes them wildly hilarious. |

| 207 | ---- |
| 208 | !!The following tropes appear in these films: |
| 209 | |
| 210 | * 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). |
| 211 | * BasiliskAndCockatrice: ''Basilisk: The Serpent King'' has a centuries-old basilisk being unwittingly reawakened by archeologists during a solar eclipse after it was originally petrified thanks to a gold scepter. |
| 212 | * BioweaponBeast: Often the monsters in these movies were intended to be some kind of bioweapon for TheGovernment or a sinister MegaCorp. |
| 213 | * BMovie: Syfy's become ''the'' biggest North American outlet for B movies in TheNewTens. |
| 214 | * DisasterMovie: Many movies that aren't monster flicks are instead about some sort of disaster, though the special effects are usually lacking for these to an even greater extent. Taken to its apex by the ''Sharknado'' movies, which combine the two genres. |
| 215 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Seriously. Just look at the list of movies in the folder. |
| 216 | * InsectGenderBender: ''Mansquito'' has a human-mosquito hybrid killing people and drinking their blood. Problem is it's a '''man'''squito, so he's not growing any eggs and shouldn't require blood at all. While this COULD be written off as the radioactive gunk also changing his gender (if it can make a mammal part-insect, why not?) it enters flat out ridiculous territory when he begins pursuing a WOMAN who has been mutated to a lesser extent. And while even that could be written off as a twofer GenderBender, the fact that SHE also craves blood completely extinguishes the possibility for any amusing Fanon theories. |
| 217 | * LegoGenetics: Animal genes can often be injected into people willy nilly to create part-human hybrids like Mansquito, Sharkman, or Snakeman. This is also the usual explanation for the MixAndMatchCritters. |
| 218 | * MayanDoomsday: This was a ''very'' popular subject for them for awhile. Some were even made ''after'' it. |
| 219 | * 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. |
| 220 | * 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, Whalewolf, Pteracuda, etc. |
| 221 | * 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. In ''Deep Shock'', the attempt to seal the rift the alien eels have opened involves over ''200'' nukes. |
| 222 | * OffTheShelfFX: To be expected, given the ultra-low budget of each film (some high tech firearms appear to be repainted Nerf guns). |
| 223 | * OurCryptidsAreMoreMysterious: If it's a cryptid and it's even ''remotely'' plausible that it would eat people, it's bound to have starred in one of these. |
| 224 | * RockMonster: The [=SyFy=] Channel Original Movie... ''Rock Monster''. |
| 225 | * ScienceIsBad: A disproportionate number of these movies seem to advance the theory that science inevitably leads to the creation of giant mutated animals, and explosions are the only thing that can rectify such mistakes. |
| 226 | * SharkMan: ''[=SharkMan=]'', a.k.a. ''Hammerhead'', where the monster is a man who became part hammerhead shark [[LegoGenetics after being injected with shark DNA]]. |
| 227 | * ZombieApocalypse: Unsurprisingly, ''Zombie Apocalypse'' is an example of the trope. |
