Yee-haw! Let’s have a look at those hard drinkin’, truck drivin’, moonshinin’ movies from the 70s known as Hixploitation films – a redneck subgenre of the exploitation film.
Exploitation films are defined as films that attempt to succeed financially by exploiting current trends, niche genres or lurid content, and are generally low-quality “B movies”. The brands of exploitation films released in the 1960s-1980s was seemingly endless: blaxploitation, sexploitation, Ozploitation, nazisploitation, Mexsploitation, nunsploitation… it goes on and on.
