A genre of movies most popular in the 1970s to modern day in which the setting of the film was the American Deep South.
Hicksploitation films are NOT simply films set in the South but featured certain aspects that made them true hicksploitation such as: backwoods folks, the notorious hillbilly, and usually in a negative context, shamelessly ignorant, sexually degenerate, and prone to violence, moonshining, incestuous relations, deformed children of incest, and frequent appearance of the Confederate Battle Flag.
