Niu Lai (2026). Full length movie that released this month and has grossed over $2m so far. Made by a mother and son.

It’s not vintage. It’s literally in the theaters right now in China, released this year.

And it didn’t cost, like, $230 thousand. It cost only $230 to make, by two part timers (a mother and her adult son).

By all accounts it’s a terrible movie but people like how bad it is.

Speaking of retro cgi, I loved insektors.
