I think with super low budget films you need to forget any attempt to view them as normal cinema, they tend, especially the ones from the 60s and early 70s, to have a completely different aesthetic to what was happening within mainstream cinema. To me they show a brutal drive to make money by exploitation of popular cinema and cultural fads of the time combined with a need for more, be it violence, sex, gore etc. Add to this, oddball directors inflicting there own fetishes and interests on the world, artistic touches either by chance or design and you get some of my favourite films and directors along with a lot of tedious shite.
