Emerging from Another Era – Narrative and Style in Modern Exploitation Cinema

Abstract

This chapter begins to tease out the argument that forms the backbone of ‘The Style of Sleaze’ by arguing that three distinct exploitation demarcations are linked by their stylistic attributes. In this chapter, the focus is on narrative and also the link that the post-classical exploitation cinema produced in America has with the classical period, famously defined and discussed by academic and author Eric Schaefer.
