Jump scares in horror movies don’t do anyone favors. They cheapen the film and make audiences prepare for a lazy scare, rather than the steady buildup that has a much greater payoff. It’s not to say that a jump scare can’t be in a horror movie, but it shouldn’t be their bread and butter. Weapons has one very effective jump scare. Weapons is a fantastic horror film. More than that, Weapons is a great film that lives in the horror realm, but also serves as a thriller with dark periods of humor.
