Why Cult
Dag’s quest to avenge her brother’s murder puts a woman at the center of a traditionally male genre, flipping the biker film formula.
One of the rare biker films helmed by a woman, offering a fresh perspective in the grindhouse canon.
Expect a heady mix of outlaw bikers, violence, and nudity wrapped in psychotronic and exploitation energy.
Dag toting a shotgun is more than just a visual—it's a statement, and this film leans into its gunslinging, jeans-clad antiheroine.
