Slasher Horror and Film Form: Killer POV and the Jump Scare
In this video, the second part of our three-part series on film genre, we'll look at some formal innovations of slasher horror films, especially the "Killer POV" shot and the "jump scare."

Jump scares are moments in horror films used to shock spectators, usually by having a monster (or any person/object) penetrate the boundaries of the film frame.
