People doing things incredibly slowly to build up tension is an old and dumb horror trope.
Who open a door an inch at a time when they're scared? You either don't open it at all or you slam it open.
Here's some more: going to the scary place at night. Thunderstorm for no reason.

The worst to me is the cliche of “OH! I just heard something right behind me! I better freeze first and then do a dramatic slow turn to gradually reveal what’s behind me while building up the tension!”
Bullshit. Every human being jumps and turns around faster than a scared cat when hearing something behind them, especially if they were already scared.
