Pretty much when something has a jumpscare I instantly lose all respect for it, it's why I consider horror films to be in a sort of dark ages currently due to their heavy reliance on jump scares. And I'm not talking about, "Tons of suspense build up, you hear the noise, turn around and oh god he's standing right there!"
I mean, "We're in darkness without much noise, and suddenly GIANT SCARY FACE FLYING AT THE SCREEN MAKING A REALLY *** LOUD NOISE!"
It instantly tells me that the creator ran out of material or had no clue how to actually write horror.
