Horror movies with no jump scares
A jump scare is a trick of volume. These films skip it entirely and go for the slower thing: a shape in the background you noticed a second too late, a scene that will not cut away, a feeling that arrives an hour after the credits. If sudden noises are what put you off horror, this shelf was built for you.
