You could be forgiven for assuming that any film that comes straight to DVD is generally bad. If it was not shown at the cinema and did not get a major release there could be a very good reason for it but to be fair not all films can make it to the cinema all over the world. The majority of the films I own on DVD I do not remember seeing advertised at the cinema let alone seeing them there but to me that doesn't matter, I may have found them by accident but they led onto greater things.
What is your take on direct to DVD though? When I think of them I generally think of films out of The Asylum. I am unsure of what it is that needs to happen for a DTDVD, for example, if a film is shown at only indie cinemas and then comes out on DVD would you call that a straight to DVD? Is there even anything wrong with the system of this? Would piracy be cut down if DVD and Netflix releases were the same time as planned at a cinema?
