Hello!
My name is Lola, first time posting.

I am just recently discovering the EXPLOITATION Genre after watching a docu about Roger Corman. So not exactly BAD MOVIES but not really GOOD movies either  :wink:

Wanted to know if you guys already know of MAD HEIDI? It's not out yet, but they say it's the first Swissploitation
The trailer looks really savage! Has anyone heard about it?

(I tried posting a picture of a Swiss torture method from the trailer -  Fondue Boarding 😂
But I keep getting error massage that I can't post links so would also appreciate help with that!)

After you post for a short time, you'll be able to post links and photos and such...kinda helps filter the spam-bots.

Hi there and welcome to the forum.

I can't say it is one I've heard of, but I'll keep an eye out for it. What was the name of the documentary you were watching? I quite enjoy watching good doc's too.

Welcome to the forums!

So what exactly is swissploitation then? Crappy horror movies like HOSTEL but with a specific kind of torture?

Well Exploitation movies are not necessarily a crappy.
The def is
It's a film intended to attract an audience by means of its sensationalist or controversial content.
"a production company renowned for low-budget exploitation films with high body counts"
And there are different types of Exploitation movies that Exploits everything from the selected theme - so in this case - Swiss.
Like yodeling, Cheese, Toblerone torture and things like that. I think the trailer is pretty self explanatory :D

I am almost afraid to google that.

Greetings LolaK, and welcome to the forum.
In my experience, we used to call it Eurotrash on this side of the pond, Because pretty much every nation, from France to Italy to Switzerland had some sort of exploitation film to offer.

Here at Badmovies.org, you'll find a little something for everyone.

We're called BADMOVIES for a reason!  But, we don't necessarily agree about that term either.   :teddyr:

We love good movies too.
