Are you in the mood for a slow burn? Not that kind of slow burn, you horny Booktoker, you! I mean the sort of slow burn that doesn’t end with a kiss, but a kill! While some horror movies come jumpscaring right out the gate, other more subtle titles rely on dread to really wrack up the tension. When it comes to love and horror, both are better taken slow. If you intend to make it through these snail-paced screamers, you’ll need to cultivate other virtues besides patience. Like the virtue of knowing when to walk away – far away from that spooky mansion house that the creepy caretaker swears isn’t haunted. If you need a little practice, you can start with these 10 slow burn horror films that go from zero to sixty in hours, not seconds. But trust me, once they get going, there’s no slowing down.
