    God I fucking hate jump scares. It’s such a cheap/lame way to do it. A good horror movie has 0 jump scares.

      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.

      Seven has 1 jump scare, and it is brilliant. But yes, a whole movie of them is just lazy.
