10 Classic Britsploitation Horror Films

bood In the 1970s/early 1980s, Britain actually had quite a decent exploitation and horror movie industry. The main man on the scene was Pete Walker - a man who cut his teeth on sexploitation, but increasingly focused his attention on the Horror movie industry giving us such classics as House of Whipcord. British exploitation has been largely ignored by film fans and film writers in favour of more bombastic film industries such as Italian exploitation, Spanish exploitation, French exploitation and even American and Japanese exploitation. Brits have been overlooked in comparison to these industries, which is a pity, because Britsploitation is actually quite an interesting area of cinema, with some great films. I have outlined some of these films below for your perusal. Please add your own entries below

My first film watched was Carrie aged 2 on my dad's knee. Educated at The University of St Andrews and Trinity College Dublin. Fan of Arthouse, Exploitation, Horror, Euro Trash, Giallo, New French Extremism. Weaned at the bosom of a Russ Meyer starlet. The bleaker, artier or sleazier the better!
