Major subgenres
Exploitation films may adopt the subject matter and styling of regular film genres, particularly action, horror and thriller films, and their themes are sometimes influenced by other so-called exploitative media, such as pulp magazines. They often blur the distinctions between genres by containing elements of two or more genres at a time. Their subgenres are identifiable by the characteristics they use.
