exploitation film

exploitation film
  a sensational, often trashy B-film aimed at a particular audience and designed to succeed commercially and profitably by appealing to specific psychological traits or needs in that audience without any fuller analysis or exposition; often refers to films with extremely violent or sexual scenes; not necessarily a derogatory term; various types include blaxploitation, sexploitation, splatter films.
  Examples: Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970), Cannibal Holocaust (1980, It.), Porky's (1981) shown here, or any of Roger Corman's New World Pictures films, such as Bury Me an Angel (1971).
