"Cult films have been alive and well in the 2010s, a decade that saw a wealth of memorable midnight movies, eccentric oddities, sleeper stoner comedies, and other "out there" genre films.
Movies designated with cult status attract special audiences because they're so very different and much more provocative than mainstream populist fare. The cult film experience differs from conventional cinema by appealing to unique sensibilities, be it the counterculture, genre films, or niche audiences that joyfully indulge in taboo content and proscribed subject matter that deliriously upends convention with razor-sharp satire, exploitation, and/or legitimate ideological dangers or controversial content."
