As an intervention in conversations on transnationalism, film culture and genre theory, this book theorises transnational genre hybridity - combining tropes from foreign and domestic genres - as a way to think about films through a global and local framework. Taking the British horror resurgence of the 2000s as case study, genre studies are here combined with close formal analysis to argue that embracing transnational genre hybridity enabled the boom; starting in 2002, the resurgence saw British horror film production outpace the golden age of British horror. Yet, resurgence films like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead had to reckon with horror's vilified status in the UK, a continuation of attitudes perpetuated by middle-brow film critics who coded horror as dangerous and Americanised. Moving beyond British cinema studies' focus on the national, this book also presents a fresh take on long-standing issues in British cinema, including genre and film culture.
