Jump Scares

I don't know about most but The Thing still has the best.

Better question, which film has the BEST jumpscare? One that isn't cheap and lame, and a substitute for being unable to build any suspense but actually provides a scare and bettered the film?

Jaws, twice

>>84285425
Insidious 1

>>84285425
That one jump scare in The Descent is still the best I've seen to this day.

You probably mean the Darth Maul one. I thought the most inspired one was the man angrily pacing back and forth outside the window then suddenly he's inside the room.

Some images can look like one thing in their thumbnail and then become different once they're opened

It's from Mulholland Drive

There was a movie I can't remember the name of which was a remake of one from the 70's came out a few years ago about something that turned people crazy and killing each other that must have had a jump scare every third minute. It got old very fast.

I'm no computer doctor scientist but I think that's limited to images that support transparency like .pngs

It's right in the heart of the film so there's a lot of buildup you're missing, but the way it's setup psychologically with the family watching the footage on television leaves the viewer very open to empathise with the terror of the moment.

Not the best but a really good one. The terrifying music added a lot to it.

All of the reasons you listed are great reasons why it's not scary.

You KNOW at some point you will see the alien(s); and you KNOW from the outset of the scene that an alien will be shown.

It just has zero tension because it's expected. There's nothing scary about it, at all.

Compared to, say, the Mulholland Drive scene where there is a build-up but there's zero reason to think something is going to pop out because it's just a guy who had a dream about the dumpster; why would a dream physically come true? That's silly.

In a movie about aliens, seeing the aliens is expected -- and even the set-up of the footage is "people caught footage of the alien." There's nothing terrifying or scary there.

This reminds me of a scene in Jacobs Ladder, where this thing in surgical garb, suddenly cuts across the hallway with a huge pair of scissors. Scares the shit out of me to this day.

>>84291357
just saw the scene, i really dont get whats scary about this

>>84291465
You expected it, that's why. If you had watched the movie for the first time, you'd have no reason to expect something like that would happen. It usually gets a jump out of anyone who sees it.

I'm not sure I get your point since the strength of the Mulholland Drive scene is more in the buildup than the surprise. And fear is more complex than just a moment of shock, go watch a LiveLeak video of someone dying and tell me how you feel in the moments leading up.

They even lamp shade it with like 4-5 jump scares in a minute and a, "Sop doing that!" line.

You dumbass didnt even understand the plot of the second film, which spells it out for you.

Those webm's arent the witch, its her minions.

Im not making this shit up. Remember the crap growing out of the black girls foot? That was her process of becoming one of those weird things in the webms.

Remember, if that was the witch, theyd all die instantly.

The second film didn't even have the witch, they just went crazy and killed each other without remembering that they did it. And why are things in the woods all the exact same if they are minions and not the same creature, or the witch itself? They even explain why she looks like a generic long armed spooky monster thing when the trashy couple add to the mythos saying that part of her punishment was being drawn with weights, now her arms and legs are stuck like that.
