People conflate being startled with being scared
God I fucking hate jump scares. It's such a cheap/lame way to do it. A good horror movie has 0 jump scares.
And 0 situations where their building the tension to make you expect a jump scare. Like when they slowly turn the cabinet mirror, but there's nothing there.
Seven has 1 jump scare, and it is brilliant. But yes, a whole movie of them is just lazy.
They're cinematic Cup O' Noodles
One thing I loved about Longlegs is you'd give yourself mild jumpscares if you were paying attention.
You need HDR to see the contrast between shadows, but you'll see demons hiding in plain sight.
