like, I would not call something just "a slow burn" if what I meant was "a horror movie where the dread builds up slowly, and nothing scary happens for a good while to increase the tension and let you get to know the characters," I'd call it "slow-burn horror".

Ti West's _The Innkeepers_ (2011) is a good example of a slow-burn horror film that I think is really effective.

I expect what happened on netflix is that they have a "slow burn" tag and a "horror" tag and a "romance" tag, and the first means one thing when paired with the second, but something else when paired with the last; but their search algorithm can't distinguish those cases.

I love horror and don't read ANY rimance and have only ever seen slow burn refer to a romance, until Netflix started using it like a year ago ti describe suspenseful stuff

I believe you! different people are accustomed to different terms for things—I know I was used to "slow burn" for horror before I heard it applied to romance.
