Sexploitation! Shocksploitation! Blaxploitation! Grindhouses and drive-ins may be gone, but the b-string and basement budget pictures that played them have endured. With their bad acting, drooping mikes and constant mix of day/night shots, you wouldn't call them well-made but there's a strange appeal to their raw, unrestrained shenanigans. Welcome to the golden age of Exploitation Cinema!

Bad action movies may be the guiltiest of pleasures, but they're also a ton of fun. Whether you're watching Rutger Hauer fight a rubber-suited monster or Chuck Norris single-handedly thwarting a Communist invasion, there's a strange appeal to their occasionally inept, often silly shenanigans. This book is an in-depth celebration of such films, including the likes of Hercules, Silent Rage, etc.

Movies Worth Watching
on Nov. 16, 2012
And this is a book worth reading, especially if you enjoy the brilliantly terrible likes of Galaxina and Barbarella. Best of all is the review of Fire Maidens Of Outer Space, in which the author's love of grade Z sci-fi is apparent.
