The three articles in this subsection return to scholarly debates at the core of research into Australian horror movies and Ozploitation cinema. In terms of the former, the horror film remains under-researched in Australian film studies. This is not surprising. On the one hand, since the mid-2000s the Australian film industry has produced a handful of popular, and internationally influential horror movies such as The Babadook (Jennifer Kent, 2014), Daybreakers (Michael and Peter Spierig, 2009), and Wolf Creek (Greg McLean, 2005). On the other hand, the majority of Australian horror films rarely receive critical acclaim, nor are they widely discussed in mainstream film criticism; and for every Wolf Creek, there is a long list of movies such as Red Billabong (Luke Sparke, 2016), The Pack (Nick Robertson, 2015), Me and My Mates vs. The Zombie Apocalypse (Declan Shrubb, 2015), and There's Something in the Pilliga (Dane Millerd, 2014) that disappear into the long-tail of the market. Few local horror movies released each year secure cinema release and the average title circulates in home video markets, and/or subscription and pay-per-download services. As a conceptual category, Australian horror movies emerge at the intersection of cult cinema; Australia-international cinema that can be difficult to evaluate on the basis of cultural value (the setting of Triangle [2009, Christopher Smith] for instance is never specified although Australian actors play characters who speak with American accents); and genre filmmaking long associated with Hollywood-inspired filmmaking. As a consequence, until quite recently the subject has rarely been central to dominant discourses in Australian film studies concerned with distinguishing Australian cinema as a national cinema...

重返澳大利亚恐怖片和Ozploitation电影院辩论

本小节中的三篇文章返回了对澳大利亚恐怖电影和Ozploitation电影研究的核心学术讨论。就前者而言，恐怖片在澳大利亚电影研究中仍未得到充分研究。这不足为奇。一方面，自2000年代中期以来，澳大利亚电影业制作了一些流行的，具有国际影响力的恐怖电影，例如The Babadook（Jennifer Kent，2014），Daybreakers（Michael and Peter Spierig，2009）和Wolf Creek （Greg McLean，2005年）。另一方面，大多数澳大利亚恐怖片很少获得好评，也没有在主流电影评论中得到广泛讨论。对于每个Wolf Creek，都有很长的电影列表，例如Red Billabong（Luke Sparke，2016），The Pack（Nick Robertson，2015），Me and My Mates vs. 僵尸启示录（Declan Shrubb，2015）和皮利加（Dane Millerd，2014）中的某些东西消失在了长尾市场中。每年发行的本地恐怖电影很少能在影院上映，而且平均片名在家庭视频市场和/或订阅和按次下载付费服务中流传。作为一种概念类别，澳大利亚恐怖电影出现在邪教电影的交汇处。难以根据文化价值进行评估的澳大利亚国际电影院（例如，虽然澳大利亚演员扮演会讲美国口音的角色，但从未指定Triangle [2009，Christopher Smith]的背景）；和流派的电影制作，长期以来都与好莱坞风格的电影制作有关。作为结果，
