Genre-based Netflix Clone Caters to Niche Market
Looks like there is another player in the internet-rental forum. The recently launched Creepyflix.com prides itself on being able to satisfy the demands of horror and sci-fi fans looking to rent harder-to-find titles and editions of their favorite, most disturbing movies. A review and discussion of the service at Cinematical.com suggests that the site is a tad bit better than Netflix for hardcore creepy movie fans, although delivery times are unavoidably longer. My guess it that Netflix doesn’t see sites like this as a threat (most of the comments at Cinematical are given by people who have accounts with both companies) but as the offspring of its wonderfully successful rental model.
