88 Films

USA USA

88 Films ist ein US-amerikanischer Fernsehsender, der sich auf Genrekino spezialisiert hat – insbesondere Horror-, Action- und Kultfilme vergangener Jahrzehnte. Das Programm setzt stark auf restaurierte oder digital überarbeitete Fassungen obskurer und internationaler Titel, die häufig aus den Archiven unabhängiger Verleiher stammen. Die Zuschauer können mit einer Rotation aus Low-Budget-Slashern, Martial-Arts-Filmen, italienischen Gialli und Exploitation-Filmen rechnen, die im Mainstream-Fernsehen selten zu sehen sind. Gelegentlich werden Dokumentationen zur Filmgeschichte oder Retrospektiven zu bestimmten Regisseuren oder Subgenres ausgestrahlt, doch das Kernprogramm bleibt ein beständiger Mix aus Kino- und Direct-to-Video-Veröffentlichungen der 1960er bis frühen 2000er Jahre.

Neben der linearen Ausstrahlung ist 88 Films auch digital über Streaming-Plattformen verfügbar, die Abonnenten in den USA nutzen können. Die Programmierung erfolgt während der Hauptfilme ohne Werbeunterbrechungen, lediglich kurze Einspieler oder Titelcards können zwischen den Filmen eingeblendet werden.
