Low Budget Films That Made More Than Their Money Back

Saw – $1.2 million budget

It appears that low-budget horrors are quite the success! This 2004 horror film was filmed in only a few days and made $103 million. It launched an entire franchise with seven(!) sequels – making them a Halloween tradition for most of the 2000s.

James Wan had teamed with Leigh Whannell to make a truly original concept on a low budget. Today, Billy the Puppet is widely recognized as one of the most prominent horror mascots in cinema.
