The Routledge Companion to Cult Cinema offers an overview of the
field of cult cinema - films at the margin of popular culture and
art that have received exceptional cultural visibility and status
mostly because they break rules, offend, and challenge
understandings of achievement (some are so bad they're good, others
so good they remain inaccessible). Cult cinema is no longer only
comprised of the midnight movie or the extreme genre film. Its
range has widened and the issues it broaches have become
battlegrounds in cultural debates that typify the first quarter of
the twenty-first century. Sections are introduced with the major
theoretical frameworks, philosophical inspirations, and
methodologies for studying cult films, with individual chapters
excavating the most salient criticism of how the field impacts
cultural discourse at large. Case studies include the worst films
ever; exploitation films; genre cinema; multiple media formats cult
cinema is expressed through; issues of cultural, national, and
gender representations; elements of the production culture of cult
cinema; and, throughout, aspects of the aesthetics of cult cinema -
its genre, style, look, impact, and ability to yank viewers out of
their comfort zones. The Routledge Companion to Cult Cinema goes
beyond the traditional scope of Anglophone and North American
cinema by including case studies of East and South Asia,
continental Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, making it
an innovative and important resource for researchers and students
alike.
