The Horror Movie Genre That Needs To Go Away

Typically confined to one setting, the “Wine & Die” horror movie genre is cheap to shoot, and as horror is always en vogue, it’s usually profitable. That doesn’t mean they’re good or worth your time to watch, and in fact, in this case, less is more. There was a decade between Would You Rather and The Menu, but since, like the Kajiu incursions in Pacific Rim, the time between new entries is getting shorter and shorter, flooding streaming services.
