It's the latest homage to exploitation films and B movies, the low-budget cinematic spectacles fueled by sex, violence and vulgarity that attract cult audiences and have proven surprisingly influential over the years.

To explore the most outrageously fun movies ever made, we went straight to the experts who pick films for genre blowouts like Fantastic Fest and the Another Hole in the Head Film Festival. We also tossed in some picks from grindhouse connoisseur Tarantino and threw in a few favorites of our own. Brace yourself for this look at 27 of the weirdest, boldest and bloodiest exploitation films ever made.

The Hidden

"Alien invaders are such major turds!" opines Zack Carlson, an authority on B-movie posters and programmer of Fantastic Fest, the annual genre-film extravaganza in Austin, Texas. "They come to our planet completely uninvited, take over our bodies, listen to blistering heavy metal, commit explosive, murderous crimes and then exit our bullet-ridden corpses to possess a new host. So rude!"

The villain in this 1987 action meltdown: an interplanetary body-hopping convict with a penchant for machine guns, rocket launchers and flamethrowers. "No one is spared," says Carlson. "Old men, police sergeants and strippers are all direct targets for this pan-galactic parasitic jerkwad."

Bonus points: Machete's Danny Trejo played a doomed convict in The Hidden while Twin Peaks' Kyle MacLachlan co-starred as a mysterious, laser-bearing stranger.
