Its a horrible hipster term that really gets on my nerves just like Torture Porn or Splatterpunk.
Kinda sad that a great era of film history needed to be legitmized by a mainstream studios homage to gain recognition.

I think Fulci's Zombie made it to the Grindhouse circuit but yeh those flicks were more prominant in the home video realm. Did much of the Italian stuff make it over to the UK? I guess the Video Nasties scare buried a lot of those titles.

Fight For Your Life and Switchblade Sisters are two films I'm pretty fond of.
