Film Z

Film Z adalah film-film beranggaran rendah yang memiliki kualitas lebih rendah daripada film B.

Etimologi
Penggunaan terawal dari istilah tersebut (sebagai film kelas-Z, dan tanpa arti penghinaan penuh yang biasanya dimaksudkan sekarang) sejauh ini terletak dalam sebuah ulasan surat kabar Januari 1965 oleh kritikus Kevin Thomas tentang The Tomb of Ligeia (1964), sebuah film American International Pictures yang disutradarai oleh Roger Corman.
