What is cult cinema? How is it defined? Characteristics of cult films range from being “so bad they’re good” to having cult-like fanbases to being underground or obscure. Amongst fans of cult cinema, it remains difficult to pinpoint an exact definition, as this film classification spans genres and decades. In this student-led Decal, we will study the history, social and cultural influence, and various subcategories of cult cinema in order to broaden our understanding and engage with discourse surrounding its many definitions. NOTE: Many of these films fall into the “cult” category because of their explicit nature. Students should be aware that these films contain some graphic content.
