      IME "slow burn" is absolutely a commonly-used description within horror—but you have to contextualize it!https://twitter.com/outofmyplanet/status/1388950895883431937 …

      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".

      (unless it was clear in the context of the conversation that we were discussing horror movies)

      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.

      Not using search algorithm When I let netflix sit, it turns to a slideshow advertising various shows/movies, and each one has 3 description words like exciting, sci fi, haunted house, drama, ensemble etc They use slow burn exclusively for suspense/psych horror, never romance

      ah, OK. it's definitely weird that they'd use it _only_ for horror!
