Jumpscares are like, SO cheap!

being startled isn't the same things as being scared.

i mean they're not universally bad, but it'd be hard to argue they aren't extremely overused and often very poorly done

Because they get scared by them

Yeah, I'm thinking my favorite region is

I'M WACKY

Lack of testosterone

I guess i havent seen a lot of cheesy 80s horror movies so i wouldnt know how cliched they are.

A good jumpscare combined with a proper building of tension is great.
Making bagul jump at the camera and have a violin string play is a cheap and boring scare that only gets people because its sudden.

Because they're annoying and insult the intelligence of the viewer

No. Laughs are cheap. I'm going for gasps.

They are scary. They're a part of terror, horror, spookiness, atmosphere. You not liking them doesn't mean they're not scary.
I agree, what the fuck else are you supposed to do to scare your audience? It's a fucking movie, nothing is surprising, they have to trick you to get a reaction. fuck south park for the stupid "startling" meme, they don't know what horror is.

modern horror films are much worse in that regard

Does imagination make things that aren't scary, scary? Nobody is spooked by horror movies except kids.

Horror as a genre is garbage

Yes. A small child by itself is not scary at all, but when put in the right context the same child can be extremely scary.

Now imagine Mulholland Drive having 30 different jumpscares happening before and after that scene, would that scene be as impactful and praised as it is today?

1. What scares you in real life?
2. Put that on screen.

women

So a jumpscare in itself is not cheap, it just needs to be well done, like every concept in life.

That was great because it wasn't really a jumpscare, though. It's in broad daylight, it's basically announced before it happens and she pretty much just walks slowly around the corner. What makes it scary is pretty much entirely the fact that the acress just has a naturally scary face.

Do good non-cheesy horror movies exist?

Without jumpscares.
Without omg this person is acting so weeeeird!
Omg this monster with a big mouth is so scary!

The cabin in the woods is a comedy and alien isn’t a horror movie. Blair witch is scary.

because movies overuse them for their ability to scare the viewer without putting any effort into the story
its human nature to get startled by a loud noise, but for some people (me included), that feeling of uneasiness isn't the same as the one they crave while watching a horror movie

That's not at all his point, he's saying there's a difference between being startled (cheap jump scares) and experiencing genuine fear which was the sole purpose of the horror genre to begin with. That's why jump scares will be remembered as cheap, but real well- done horror is revered.

>immersion
that's a meme. it doesn't exist. it's just people who don't know how to articulate why they like something so they say buzzwords like 'immersive'

it really depends on the jumpscare, i like the ones where where you suddenly realize the monster is watching you or something, but not the ones where they pop out like a screamer almost breaking the fourth wall just to say haha i got you to the viewer

That's because people realized that slow phasing and eerie music don't make a movie good. We grew out of soi horror

Attached: 8eEDwA3_d.jpg (237x330, 9K)

A jumpscare can be really good when the audience can see it coming but the protagonist does not. I'm not talking about some dumb shit like the protagonist knows something scary is coming and becomes really worried about looking out a window or opening a door; I mean the protagonist genuinely did not see it coming. If the movie can build up to the audience that something is going to happen WITHOUT dependence on spooky build up music and slow shots that obviously lead to the jump, then it was a good jumpscare.

tl:dr

The horror movies need to stop spoonfeeding the audience when something spooky is about to happen.

Not having a jumpscare in a scene where jumpscare would normally occur is infinitely spookier. Jumpscare literally only strips all tension.
The only time I approve of jumpscares is when they happen just once early on in a safe environment because then it makes the rest of the film feel unsafe or if they're used for actual storytelling purposes like that LOTR one.

fuck you the exorcist is scary

This is fact. Jumpscares have no place in horror movies because the word "horror" implies fear, it should incite fear, and a jumpscare isn't fear, it's a startle. The sensation of being fearful happens in regards to the unknown, the expectation that something bad will happen, confusion. These are all tactics that should be utilized instead.

For example, I recently watched The Living And The Dead (2006) and the portrayal of the schizophrenic son legitimately scared me because he was so irrational and deranged. There wasn't a single jumpscare in that movie.

sounds like the thing a cartoon watching manchild would say

Jumpscares are okay as long as they are few and far apart. A horror movie must not rely on them. A good horror movie should have at least one jump scare.

>op actually gets scared by jumpscares
ahahaha wtf why would you tell people that aahahaha

What separates the wailing from atmospheric horror and Make fun of tropes horror groups.

It's a combination of both isn't it?

>can't show this on Yea Forums
>still shows black cock
kek

Because they're cheap and the hallmark of a director that can't effectively create a decent "horror" atmosphere. The use of the "jump scare" effectively signals "I don't really know what I'm doing, or I don't want to try."

does the alien reveal at the kids birthday party in "signs" count as a jumpscare?
That was a good film for tension and jumpscares.

There's nothing wrong with jump scares but if a horror movie solely relies on them to scare the audience then the director is incredibly lazy.

>rarely see this pic because only its is only posted by the fag who made it
That's how bad that pic is LMAO

The Exorcist literally has jump scares

I wish to live an a world with no other males but me. Women do as I say as to save the human race.

Faggots & feminists. I have no need. Gays can stay. Gays are entertaining.

The wailing doesn't take itself too seriously but not to the point of being satire. I wouldn't consider it atmospheric or at least not the soi definition of atmospheric that is long scenes of nothing happening and over used strings in the sound track

But there are a lot of long scenes of nothing happening in it coupled with generic soundtrack?
So your entire argument of good horror films falls down to what you like or don't like?

jumpscares are pretty fucking retarded. you can see them coming from a mile away so it's basically just some loud noise.
if you like jumpscares you are a plebeian. it's the horror equivalent of capeshit.

Not him but imo not a single scene was wasted in that movie.

One or two well crafted jumpscares is ideal for a horror film. Any more than that and you probably are watching a "cheap" film that relies on them for all of the drama. Any less, and you're probably watching extra soi "atmospheric" garbage that isn't even scary like Heredditary.

People jumping out and trying to kill me scares me. A spooky ghost or sudden phone ring or murderer scare me so when they “jump out” and “scare me” I get scared.

Nah, they only work in non-horror desu. Who even cares, if you use horror movies instead of vidya as your bar you're a straight up faggot. The levels of genuine horror elicited aren't even the same universe.

So if we are ruling out (1) jump scares and (2) long shots of people walking down corridoors accompanied by dissonant music, how the fuck are we supposed to scare people?

I have a third alternative: remember the Simpsons episode where Mr Burns tries to be morally upstanding, but his version of "recycling" involves genociding all oceanic life? How about that kind of thing, where trust is betrayed, where apparently good intentions are seen through? The other example that comes to mind is in Shyamalan's The Visit, where lmao what a shit film, but I was going to say the TWEEST where the mum tells the kids that those aren't their grandparents

A sudden or bombastic jumpscare with fitting music/"sound" is basically the horror equivalent of a laughtrack. Its literally for brainlets who cannot grasp any sort of fear (cosmic horror, existential dread, fear of unknown) that goes beyond adrenaline bursts.

Shit taste.

Extremely based and redpilled as always

Let's settle this.
Jumpscares are the fastfood of scares. They can taste good but overall it's cheap, quick and not hard to make, and also does not serve the viewer anything valuable with Niveau. A jumpscare does not need any sort of brain activity, a dark figure crawling in the shadow does. Jumpscares do not suck, they are just inferior to literally everything including gore and grotesque shock because both of these have a deeper connection to fears that go beyond the basics

>jumpscare masterpieces

Jumpscares just work, people are butthurt because a simple trick causes such a powerful reaction

I did not claim it sucks. It's just the lowest form of horror and for dumb people.

Some techniques are just easier to pull of than others and much less skillfull or clever.
