The music in Weapons does it right. It’s not too complicated, it builds suspense in the best way, and it’s memorable. That is literally all you can ask nowadays in the world of horror. And I genuinely hope other horror movies move in that direction.

It’s August, and horror and humor came to play. In a month that’s long been known to let edgier movies thrive, Zach Cregger’s highly anticipated horror film “Weapons” did not disappoint, topping the box office during its debut weekend with $42.
