This scene is absolute proof not all jumpscares are created equal. It's arguably the most memorable scene in Shutter and it's perfectly crafted in many ways to scare you at any moment. Note the quietness of the scene and the safety of both Jane at Tun's side and the general symbolic nature of beds and sleep. It slows builds up tension, with the pulling of Tun's blanket seemingly lasting an eternity before it hits with the jump, BAM! Most movies would be content to stop there, but Natre continues to be aggressive, turning the jumpscare now into real, tangible danger for the protagonist as he desperately tries to wake Jane up. Suddenly, however, it's all over. Under the bed? Nothing. Around the room? Nothing. Perhaps we can finally breath now. Shutter though continues its assault on the senses though, with one last jump violating the safety of where Jane should be positioned and coming as a true shock to the senses.

This scene is so good! We feel fear at many points here because the danger of Natre is haunting and omnipresent as the film continually pounds your senses with scare after scare and tension ratcheted up to 11. You're supposed to be afraid of Natre, and the film makes plenty sure of that. That's all you can really ask for in a horror film.

If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will!
