What is your opinion on them?

The topic of jump scares is always intriguing. Some think they are hacky and some think they are entertaining. I feel like its kind of a staple of modern horror films, and at a point they almost stop being scary and start becoming predictable. With that being said, I really enjoy a lot of movies that are heavily reliant on jump scares, but the more I watch these new horror movies, the more it seems forced. Its almost as if they have some sort of jump scare quota that they have to meet. Do you guys think these jump scares add anything to movies, aside from being really loud, abrupt noises with the intent on...well...making people jump?

Jump scares are a means of releasing tension in films that should focus on racking up that tension, rather. It's also a director's means of letting the audience laugh at the scare instead of laughing during other more serious scenes.

Personally, I think they're cop-outs, and jump scares are a sign that a director isn't doing a good enough job at creating a sense of dread.
