Direct-to-video films

Direct-to-video films are movies released straight to home entertainment like DVD, Blu-ray, or digital platforms, without a theatrical release. These films often have lower budgets and may target niche audiences or franchise fans. They can range from sequels to popular movies to independent productions. While they might not have the same exposure as theatrical releases, some have gained recognition for their entertainment value or special appeal. This distribution method allows filmmakers to reach audiences directly, often at a lower cost, providing an alternative route for releasing new films outside traditional theaters.
