'style of film' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'excited at bill paxton orbiting moon' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'orbiting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'moon' becomes 'Io' (moon of Jupiter).
'at'+'bill'+'paxton'='atbillpaxton'
'atbillpaxton' anagrammed gives 'blaxploitatn'.
'blaxploitatn' going around 'io' is 'BLAXPLOITATION'.

'in' is the link.
