Minor Jumps

Berberian Sound Studio (2012) features a very low jump scare count. With just one mild jump, the film avoids traditional scares entirely. The single moment comes from a sharp audio spike rather than any visual shock.

So how scary is Berberian Sound Studio (2012)? It’s more disorienting than frightening, using atmosphere, sound design, and tension to create unease. The experience is slow, surreal, and unsettling without relying on “scary” scenes.
