Canuxploitation is a film genre that encompasses B-movies made in Canada, especially those produced throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s to take advantage of government tax incentives. Often derided or outright ignored by Canadian critics and cultural historians, these horror, science fiction, comedy, action and exploitation fims present viewers with a film legacy that challenges a traditional understanding of Canadian movies as either languid art films or happy tales of Prairie life.
A Bad Movies subgenre - Vanity Films are projects started by a filmmaker to satisfy their massive ego. Usually a "triple threat" who writes, directs AND stars in a movie for the sole purpose of showing everyone how "cool" they are.
