Cult film is a colloquial term for a film that has accrued a small but devoted group of fans, having failed to achieve fame outside that group. Sometimes, the group is bound to the film by a shared sense of ridicule for it, rather than artistic merit.
Overview
The term itself came into usage during the late 1970s - perhaps among fans of cheap horror films dealing with devil cults - and popularized in a series of three books by Danny Peary, beginning in 1981 with Cult Movies.
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) and other films by Ed Wood, Jr. were among the earliest to attract devotees who revelled in their incompetence. Other low-budget science fiction and horror films of the 1950s (Robot Monster), along with exploitation films of the 1930s, which resurfaced in the home video market of the 1980s ( Reefer Madness), were added to the collection.
