Jumpscare Details
Sawyer bangs on the door and it is suddenly opened by an orderly (there c3RvbG is a muted sound effect as the door opens but the scene is not startling enough to qualify as a true jump scare).

After Sawyer escapes the building she hides behind a tank but the camera pans around to reveal David who attacks her from behind (there is no sound effect and the scene is heavily telegraphed which lessens the impact).
