Minor Jumps

The Call (2013) features a low jump scare count. With one major jolt and a handful of smaller ones, the film uses sudden cuts, sharp sounds, and close-up tension to deliver its jump scares. They’re spaced throughout, mostly appearing during moments of heightened stress.

So how scary is The Call (2013)? It’s more of a thriller than a horror film, but it still delivers a few startling moments. The pacing is tight and suspense-driven, with jump scares used sparingly to break the tension.
