Your Complete Guide to Canadian B-Film

About Me


Come visit us at Canuxploitation.com for reviews,
articles, interviews, downloads & more!
Since 1999, Canuxploitation.com has been navigating the murky world of Canadian "exploitation" cinema. With articles and reviews that shamelessly delve into the best and worst of every neglected genre of Canuck film, Canuxploitation investigates and reclaims Canada's lost B-movie tradition with style and humour.
What is Canuxploitation?
It is any part of Canadian film history that has been forgotten, or more likely, ignored. It is a straight-to-video Canadian action film collecting dust in a previously viewed bin in Labrador. It is a guy in Calgary filming a cardboard UFO. It is the subject of many articles against arts funding. It is Al Waxman.
What is Canuxploitation not?
It is not whimsical films by "hip" Canadian directors. It has no coherent star system. It is not the Genies.
Who watches Canuxploitation?
Canadians who is interested in exploring the offbeat side of our national cinema, or non-Canadians who might wonder if all of our films are like The Red Violin. They aren't.
