Hell, some of these movies can even be moderately successful upon release, but they soon became relegated to the ever-expanding sea of new content that general audiences can’t be expected to keep up with.
The fickle tides of online engagement mean that some truly great media often slips through the cracks of the distribution system, resulting in notable works of art becoming lost in online limbo because they didn’t please the all-knowing algorithm or were just released at the wrong place and the wrong time. That being said, there’s an argument to be made about a modern-day equivalent to the cult classic. After all, how do you define an underground cult following in an age when independent films are more easily accessible than ever and you can instantly discuss movies with anyone in the world? It’s now possible to stream nearly any picture at the touch of a button, so it makes sense that the days of underground screenings and traditional word-of-mouth are long behind us. Some critics believe that “cult movies” no longer exist.
