It's not enviable if you can only enjoy horror movies if you're surprised, but it's valid to have that kind of taste.
But Psycho and Alien are masterworks of tension in filmmaking (although Psycho is technically speaking a Thriller). And Evil Dead 2 is simply the perfect movie, so, this is my verdict on the meme:

@stenAanden @9point6 What are some good contemporary horror movies? Most of them lately have been terribly boring.

Antichrist (Lars von Trier) comes to mind (warning: body horro). But I would also like some good horror movie recommendations, tired of cheap jumpscares

Seven has 1 jump scare, and it is brilliant. But yes, a whole movie of them is just lazy.
