But I totally get it. If horror isn't your thing, and especially if horror or gore aren't, then Aliens is going to be a more appealing movie. Jump Scares I am often immune to. I don't think they are problem on their own. They can be done in a way that is genuinely scary or sets you up for a bigger scare, but they are an easy technique for movies to fall back on and do in uninspired ways. However a really well done jump scare is a thing of beauty. The jump scare in Exorcist III in the decapitation scene is an example of a jump scare that is actually effective IMO</blockquote>
