View submission: Podrassic Cast: Jaws with Timothy Simons

I've always considered Jaws to be the gold standard for how to do jumpscares. There's arguably only two: one big one (the head popping out of the boat) and one small one (the shark popping out of the chum water). The lower a horror film keeps its jumpscare count, the more I respect it. I'm not anti-jumpscare, don't get me wrong, this film's use of them are perfect, but I think we can all agree less is SO much more.
