Basement Billy's streaming shelf: twelve grimy, strange, confrontational horror cuts with current U.S. viewing options.
Exploitation horror is the shelf where lurid marketing, taboo subjects, regional filmmaking, and low-budget nerve collide. It can mean witch-hunter cruelty, biker occultism, erotic vampire fever dreams, revenge films, gore-soaked crime stories, or a monster made from oily sludge. The common thread is a movie selling the dangerous thing right on the label.
This isn't a ranking. It's a route through twelve distinct corners of the form, from Teruo Ishii and Jesús Franco to Wes Craven, Jean Rollin, Herman Yau, and José Mojica Marins.
Content warning: Several selections include sexual violence, cruelty, torture, or extreme gore. Check a film-specific advisory before pressing play.
