Minor Jumps

Audition (1999) features a very low jump scare count. With just one major jump and a brief earlier startle, the film builds its unease slowly. The scares are minimal but effective, spaced far apart and used with purpose.

So how scary is Audition (1999)? It’s unsettling and disturbing, relying more on atmosphere and psychological tension than traditional scares. The slow burn leads to a deeply haunting climax that doesn’t need jumps to be effective.
