Go to horror movie with jumpscares

bump

People that hate jumpscares hate that they can't use their ironic detachment to avoid getting scared. That's why they say it's "cheap" because they can't say it doesn't work, so they just say
>ohhh its so easy to do! But playing atmospheric music over nothing happening, that takes hard work!

This actually seems like a legitimately good take, honestly.

Jumpscares aren't scary, they startle you.

Um is there really that significant a difference? When I turn around and there's a person I completely don't expect standing in a door, and I get startled, was I not very briefly scared in that moment?

No one is questioning its effectiveness. You can scare anyone with a jumpscare but that is not horror, it's a thrill. Jumpscares essentially are masturbation, while true (earned) horror is sex. Why put in any effort achieving the latter when the first is so easy to do?

tl;dr
have sex

No, because it was a false alarm. Being in a burning building would be scary.

jumpscares are bottom of the barrel, lowest hanging fruit, cancer

If jump scares are so lame why do I still remember the beaver jump scare from the beginning of Lake Placid, which I saw in theaters, to this very day?

no difference
yes you were. essentially if you could stretch out the feeling of being startled it would be horror
