Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | In the early days of cinema, studios distributed feature films in pairs meant to be screened as a double-feature. The longer and bigger-budgeted of the two films was called an "A-movie", while the secondary feature was called a "B-movie".[1] As the double feature faded from prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, the term B-movie came to be synonymous with what were previously called "exploitation films"—low-budget cash-ins with an emphasis on sensationalism, sexuality, and gore—and the phrase is understood in those terms to this day. |
