What separates Exploitation/Horror films from Arthouse films?

I have indeed read most of it. It's a must-own!

Another good place for interesting behind the scenes talk on these movies are the 5 hours of extra features on the ANGEL GUTS boxset.

That boxed set rules! It's also long OOP and pretty pricey now, but I remember completely geeking out over it when it first arrived on my door step. That also turned out to be one of those infamous 'Dark Side' reviews way back when. Fuckers.

The Japanese directors of pinku and girl gang films are an excellent example of arthouse/exploitation. I think the Japanese films of the 70s are my favourite exploitation films period. I love the way they also manage to make the films overtly political while still indulging in all kinds of exploitation insanity.
