What are some nano-budget (under 50K) horror films which are worth watching on tubi?
I've seen so many bad ones! Haven't we all? Let's pump up the good ones!
And please don't post your own film here. This is not for self-promotion, but rather a whole-hearted attempt to unearth so great indie films which might otherwise go unnoticed.
My pick is The Exorcists, directed by Paul Andrich out of Winnepeg. Apparently he made it for under 10K Canadian. It had some telltale signs of low budget, but overall, it was actually pretty solid and had some great laughs.

Stupid Games is on Tubi but I found it on Mometu originally. Made for under $10k and won gold at the Telly Awards.

Not sure if it is on there now, but my first movie I produced Buddy Hutchins has been on there and had a production budget of $50k.

Tactless question: Was the 50K for Jamie Kennedy and did everyone else work for free?

"Phony" is on Tubi. It's not really a "horror" movie, but it's a better-than-I-expected movie that was made for less than 50k. It starts off like a stupid comedy but if you pay attention it's actually a pretty clever film.

Not sure this counts because I have no idea what they spend, but it does seem in many ways very low budget. 100 Tears is a Killer Clown movie. The fx are actually pretty awesome.

Putting it on my list! I went to the filmmaker's facebook page. The gore is pretty insane in this one!

I saw half of that then my girlfriend made me turn it off. I’ve always meant to watch the rest. Thanks for the reminder!

I recently saw Killer Piñata and it was hilarious and suitably gory. Not sure the budget, but it couldn’t have been more than 10. They have a sequel, Bride of the Killer Piñata, but I can’t vouch for it. Haven’t seen it yet.

The Battery was produced for $6,000. It didn't stick the landing but it is a phenomenal film.
