Jumpscares aren't cheap. They're a legitimate way to frighten the audience. You just don't want to admit you were scared.

>you were scared
I wasn't scared. I was startled. It's a very clear distinction.
This. Pic related is a good example of a scene that actually scared me.
>he doesn't immediately run away the moment the bastard appears as if he could hit a running target from that distance
Couldn't be me
The average person won't know how hard it is to hit a target with a handgun. It won't occur to them how drastically the odds of getting shot plummet as soon as they start moving and make even a minimal increase in the distance between them and the shooter by running away.
I've taken so many first time shooters to the range over the years and watched their shock when they realize that reliably hitting a 10in target even at like 5 yards is hard for a first timer, and that a human sized target becomes hard for them to hit even at like 10-15 yards.
Are there any people who are good at it though?
What if Mr. Zodiac was an autistic savant who practiced and was good at shooting handguns?
What if my dick fit perfectly between your buttcheeks like a footlong hot dog in a homemade bun? The world is full of what ifs anon. We don't know and we'll never know.
That's not scary. The dude is a total moron. I'd take my chances running and leaving him with the chick.
Please explain the very clear distinction. Draw a line in the sand precisely where scared and startled meet so we can differentiate them. And provide a logically sound reason why being startled isn't part of or a variant of, being scared. I'll wait.
I'm scared the wasps in the hive outside my front door are going to sting me. I'm startled when a moth flies in my face.
Yeah this doesn't explain anything you mouthbreathing homosexual. Please break it down so we can apply your criteria to any situation. Not just random hypotheticals you concoct
Startle comes from surprise, scare comes from fear. You get startled when a balloon pops, but you're not scared of balloons or maybe you are since you're such a flaming homosexual.
Loud noises can't inspire fear? This is a very poor attempt at satisfying my request
If you think either of those are btfo you should go back to school. All they've done is repeat the initial statement using hypotheticals they erroneously believe support them. There is no reason given, just examples. Animals flee from loud noises, so clearly a "startling" noise can inspire the adrenaline response of fight or flight (fear)
Unless you are a child or autistic, surprise should not inspire fear. Surprise and the unknown are quintessential essences of the sublime. Again, startling someone and scaring someone are two different things which are reflected by their usage as well as their definitions. If you want to get all Derrida about it then the language means nothing and fear is also nothing, but the one absolute truth in everything is that both you and OP are massive wiener gobbling homosexuals.
When you're startled, you are scared for that split second where you're brain is trying to comprehend what's going on. Stfu
No, you aren't. Well, maybe you are since you're autistic. Normal people aren't afraid of loud noises.
You're the homie admitting that you jump from loud noises or moths flying in your face. Lmfao. You said you're scared of getting stung by wasps. You allergic pussy?
Being startled is a normal reaction to surprise, yes. That was never a point of contention. The point of contention was whether or not being startled and scared are the same thing and they are, by definition, not the same thing. You're illiterate as well as a wiener mongler. I'm sure your parents are so proud.
Oh no, there's a wasp flying towards me!
Lmaooo
Wasps are fricking monsters man.
you got owned dude, just deal with it
>t. autismo that spergs at loud noises
absolutely btfo, hope you actually delete this thread now that you learned your lesson
Loud noise and sudden visual stimuli is definitely cheap. Sophisticated men such as my self prefer a slow burn spook
Agreed jumpscares are terrifying
Whoa, so spoopy. Imagine being alone in the woods and that emerges from behind a tree like that
I miss e-girl zhezhe bros....
This summer, from the twisted mind of Jordan Peele...
I jump scared your wife when I reviled my wiener and she realized the size she was going to take for the first time
This does not mean the vast majority of directors throw them in to compensate for the fact that they can't scare an audience without just screaming BOO at them, and that most are limp and predictable.
Jump scares are cheap and appeal to morons.
Wish we had a film adaption of the American Mcgee Alice universe bros.
im watching picrel right now, havent seen it since 1999 lol. it has some jumpscares in it but they dont feel cheap, they did a good job of integrating them in
>inb4 remake
havent seen the new remake, i just remember having vivid memories of this dudes bloody stump hook as a kid when i saw this shit on hbo
they are if used in a good way
background "jumpscares" are my favorites, those were you see something in the background that you could easily miss, and the fear quickly rises as you realize what you're looking at.
just constantly bombarding the audience with loud noises and spooky faces isn't scary, it's just really annoying.
I don't feel scared when I jump from a jumpscare. Sometimes the tension before the jumpscare is scary, but the jump does not inspire fear.
>Jumpscares aren't cheap. They're a legitimate way to frighten the audience
If you aren't deliberately attempting to create a frightful atmosphere that will keep the audience on edge where they can be scared regardless of a jumpscare then yes they are cheap; just a cheap and quick trick to elicit an emotional response that will barely last a second just to try and make the audience not bored out of their mind.
Black person if I hide in your house and jump out at you, you'll be scared.
If I then ask you for the price of a movie ticket for doing it, you'll tell me to frick off and call the police.
