::::::::::::::::I don't think that's strong as I never hear the term in regular use. Even looking up the major films like ''Gremlins'' or ''Black Christmas'', they are usually referred to by far more common genres or subgenres. This is why I'm calling [[WP:UNDUE]] here.

:::::::::::::::::It doesn't really matter that ''you'' never hear the term in regular use, though. What matters is what RS are calling it, and in this case there are multiple RS, including at least one book of essays ''about the subgenre'', using the term.

::::::::::::::::::You are missing the point, I can google it as you have and find bits and bobs, but it's not a strong common thread per [[WP:UNDUE]]. Specifically "Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to the depth of detail, the quantity of text, prominence of placement, the juxtaposition of statements, and the use of imagery. In articles specifically relating to a minority viewpoint, such views may receive more attention and space" We don't include everything just because there is a citation available. It does matter, because there is undue weight applied here. I wouldn't add the term ''Nu-kaidan'' applied by David Kalat in his book on J-Horror which he tried to clarify as being a term for the rise of J-Horror films, as the term is not colloquial. I've searching through academic journals and am finding nothing, and I repeat, this is not a substantial sub-genre, despite there being a book by a non-academic on the topic.
