Canuxploitation is a film genre that encompasses B-movies made in Canada, especially those produced throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s to take advantage of government tax incentives. Often derided or outright ignored by Canadian critics and cultural historians, these horror, science fiction, comedy, action and exploitation fims present viewers with a film legacy that challenges a traditional understanding of Canadian movies as either languid art films or happy tales of Prairie life.
These movies all feature technology in the role of the horror itself. Either its computers possessed by demons, psychopathic hackers, serial killers in chat rooms, or cursed video games and things of that ilk. Note we’re not just talking about modern tech users in a horror setting - the technology has to present the threat. As we have moved into the Information Age, these cyberpunk scares have proliferated. They’re our culture’s way of asking “Just what is this 24/7 online life doing to us, as a species, anyway?"
