The cult film experience differs from conventional cinema by appealing to unique sensibilities, be it the counterculture, genre films, or niche audiences that joyfully zero in on taboo content and proscribed subject matter that deliriously upends convention while offering added zip via razor-sharp satire, exploitation, and/or legitimate ideological dangers or controversial content.
Part of the attraction with films designated with cult status is that they are decidedly different and much more provocative than mainstream populist fare.
