Yeah I agree,yes the jump scares were terrifying but it gets to a point where I can't focus on the plot or the story because all I'm doing is mentally bracing myself for jump scares that could occur at any moment constantly. It's mentally exhausting and takes away from the movie.

That was my thought too. I wish it had a more seeping dreadful helpless fear than just scream here, loud noise here, pop up here. It had a good enemy concept, poor poor execution.

Only the filmmakers can speak for themselves, but what you just described sounds like they'd take as a win.

I can see why you'd say that, but idk if its considered a win if I don't remember the plot or events cohesively, don't want to see the movie ever again and don't recommend it to anyone or give it a good rating. Whereas I saw Barbarian 3 times.
