10 Best Jump Scares From 2024’s Biggest Horror Movies

10. A Shocking Revelation - Don't Move

Produced by Sam Raimi, this Netflix exclusive opens with a grieving woman, Iris (Kelsey Asbille), who's preparing to take her life by jumping off a cliff. After speaking to a stranger called Richard (Finn Wittrock), Iris starts feeling hopeful again and decides to give life another chance.

But when she notices Richard is holding an umbrella, Iris becomes wary, since there isn't a cloud in the sky. Before Iris has a chance to react, Richard electrocutes her with a device concealed in the umbrella's handle. 

Although it's obvious that Richard has ulterior motives the instant the umbrella is spotted, this moment is still pretty blindsiding, since it's unclear how he intends to use it as a weapon.

Several frames are removed when Richard launches himself at Iris, making the attack look more unnatural and therefore more frightening. Just to amplify the fear factor further, the shot is followed with an ear-splitting sound and a flickering effect.

Even though this set-up is fairly straightforward, it's guaranteed to leave a major impact, purely because of how perfectly executed it is.
