You jump because you're surprised by a development and then all your muscles hit full power in a reflex mode, so you physically move.
There's nothing clever here: just learn to recognise the signs. All story tellers have a similar build up technique.
Take the descent into the basement with the semi-defective torch routine, for instance. Then tense every muscle in your body.
When the surprise comes, you can't jump because everything's at full tension! hey presto.
Then you'll realise it's not such a big deal and you'll stop bothering about it. Just like fear of flying really.
The thing is, your reaction, and that of the other people that get freaked out, actually adds to the atmosphere. Watch closely and you'll notice people might be reacting to you as much as the film. So you're adding to their experience.
