Screenshot from TV app where I saw that apparently the mockbuster for Twisters was outselling Civil War and Bad Boys Ride or Die... I looked up this thing on IMDB, it is indeed The Asylum, and the User reviews are entirely people who rented/bought it on Apple TV where it was also featured, then realized it wasn't the one with Glen Powell lol

Oh my god this is hilarious, thanks for the recommendation of IMDb ratings. "Why release a movie with basically the same title (The Twisters) and the same concept in the same year as a super popular movie? Just a waste of $10." Welcome to the asylums business model for over 25 years. Can't believe that it still works, with streaming and vod probably even better then ever.
