Some of them are scary and some of them are quirky.

I recently embarked on a journey to watch all Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Halloween movies. I just finished phase 1 of this journey in that I watched all 11 stand-alone Friday the 13th films.

I went into "Don't Breathe" expecting a very suspenseful horror film and it fully delivered on those expectations. The film relies heavily on sound and lack of sound to provide the incredibly tense tone. While it is a suspenseful and tense film, I did appreciate that it...
