exploitation films

Exploitation films are a genre of movies that focus on sensational, provocative topics to attract viewers’ attention, often featuring taboo subjects like violence, sexuality, or crime. They are produced with low budgets and aim for immediate impact, prioritizing sensational content over artistic quality or complex storytelling. These films often exploit current trends or fears and are designed to appeal to niche audiences seeking provocative or controversial entertainment. While sometimes criticized for perceived lack of depth, exploitation films are significant for their influence on independent cinema and their role in exploring boundaries in film content.
