IMO this is one of the things that's wrong with the way people look at movies these days. If you take individual scenes, and look at them out of context, and all the time thinking "okay something scary is supposed to happen any second" of course they're not going to be very effective.

Movies are supposed to be viewed in a continuous sequence, beginning to end, without rewind, pause, or fast forward, as a story about people, and what happens to them. What makes a "jump moment" effective is that you're not expecting it.
