Halloween is here, time for horror movies and therefore… jump scares! It’s an ideal opportunity Site BonusFinder.com who recently conducted a poll to determine which horror films released in the last five years contain the most jump scares, in other words, which make you want to jump the most.
According to this original study, to put it mildly, which follows another more global study published in 2021, it is N’école pas that is the champion of the jump scars with 27 jumps on the clock. Spanish productions released in November 2020 on the Netflix platform include the film 23 Jumps, which leaves the catalog today.
The movie Don’t Listen, which Netflix subscribers strongly recommend watching with others, tells the story of a man who hears the screams of a ghost in the house he is renovating after a dramatic event. He then decides to consult a paranormal expert.
Don’t listen back, we find two movies ex aequo, also available on Netflix: American It – Chapter 2 and Thai Ghost Lab, both packed with 24 jump scares. This – Chapter 2 is the second part of the film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, featuring the evil clown Pennywise. As for Ghost Lab, it tells the story of two doctors who, after witnessing a paranormal phenomenon at their hospital, become obsessed with the idea of providing scientific proof of the existence of ghosts.
Next up on this spooky list is Host (23 jumps), the story of a spiritualism session on Zoom that goes awry when an evil spirit intervenes, then, ex aequo 22 jump scares each, the latest installment in the Scream saga and the final installment in the Halloween franchise.
It should be noted that according to the same study, jump scares have been decreasing over the years, with no films released in 2023 making the top 10. And finally, how about the French in this ranking? You have to go all the way down to 39th place to find a trace of the French representative with The Deep House duo Alexandre Bustillo / Julien Maur who have been awarded 12 jumps.
