Jump scares are a staple — and one of the most factious constituent — of modern horror movies . Some people are too susceptible to them , while others find them gimmicky . To people in the former inner circle : does the above gif scare you in any way ? The answer is almost certainly no .
Despite the “ start ” in “ jump panic attack , ” what I realized while watchingBurger Fiction ’s latest supercut is that motion really is n’t what create shock with these scenes : it ’s sound . Go ahead , watch the video on deaf-mute . devil and popping out of mirrors suddenly becomes awkward or even laughable without the ubiquitous jolt of noise . Someone in the industry has almost certainly discovered exactly how loud these things need to be to work , and has been capitalise on it for decades .
The other realization about watch so many of these scene in chronological succession is that , even with the screeching and clangs , the scene eventually start up to fall flavourless . For a start panic to work there has to be some material body - up in forego tension that climaxes and is relieved by the jump scare . All that time searching a creaky old house , hear for slamming door is important — arguably more so than the actual reward .
If jump scares work too well on you , this supercut might make you realize how little power they hold . And if you think they ’re a beat horse cavalry whose ghost has been beat into revengeful haunting , Burger Fiction has provide you with all the justified rage you ’ll ever involve .
