Yeah jump scare isn’t scary. Although it doesn’t have to be scary for someone to like it. I find for scary movies, it’s always good to experiment it first at the movies. At home with the lights on or being distracted isn’t the same.

For me, like you already know, Hereditary (2018) is the masterpiece. The Witch (2015) and Suspiria (2018) are also up there. Midsommar (2019) too. Longlegs (2024) was surprisingly shocking as well. Blair Witch Project was a great one too.
