I 100% agree. The most scared I have ever been watching a horror film in the theater was when I saw The Others. No jump scares, just building dread, knowing that something is going to happen that is going to scare me. My knuckles were white.

That is a wonderful movie, but there's at least one jump scare that I can recall (when the old lady opens the cabinet near the end) and it's been at least a decade since I saw it.

Agreed on every other point, though.

Side note: As I write this, my toddler is laying beside me and started breathing deeply, reminding me of the "stop breathing!" scene, which was fantastically done. I should watch that movie again.

I think you're right, but I'll forgive it the one jump scare.
