Exploitation cinema is born where film meets the market: little money, tight schedules, screaming titles and one strong idea to sell to the audience. The B-movies of the Fifties and Sixties, made to fill the bottom half of the double bill, turned budget limits into a style: papier-mâché monsters, obsessed scientists, memorable villains, endings you do not see coming.

Here you will find a selection of B-movies and exploitation films to stream, from classics of the genre to independent works that carry on its spirit. There are gothic horror and atomic science fiction, absurd creatures and low-budget fever dreams, cult films from the world of Roger Corman and Jack Hill. Each one works with the same ingredients: imagination, speed, a touch of shamelessness and a lot of love for the genre.

Exploitation does not ask to be perfect, it asks to be unforgettable. It is a free, brash cinema, often braver than those who looked down on it, and many of these films are now cult. A genre for those who love cinema that dares, makes do and still knows how to entertain.
