Z-movie
Zmovies (or grade-Zmovies) are low-budget films with production qualities lower than Bmovies. History and terminology The term "Zmovie" arose in the mid-1960s as an informal description of certain unequivocally non-A films. It was soon adopted to characterize low-budget motion pictures with quality standards well below those of most Bmovies and even so-called Cmovies. While Bmovies may have mediocre scripts and actors who are relatively unknown, modestly skilled, or past their prime, they are for the most part competently lit, shot and edited. Zmovies, by contrast, would be considered by most watchers and critics to be complete failures. Sometimes Zmovies are so incompetent they gain cult status due to the hilarity of their shortcomings. The economizing shortcuts of films identified as Cmovies tend to be evident throughout; nonetheless, films to which the C label is applied are generally the products of relatively stable entities within the commercial film industry and thus ...
