I think you are simply breaking your suspension of disbelief. Probably you are thinking like: "these characters are dumb, its so unrealistic", "this is all fake","this is about the time when some scare atempts pop up" "will this even scare me?". The answer is, no. No movie can scare you unless you allow it to, because you know its inherently fake.

People can feel scared when they don't delve into these thought and try to connect to the characters. This obviosly can be made easier with the means to make your emersion easier (dark, not warm room, big screen, silence from exterior sources, surround sound).

If none of this is the case... then i guess you simply find other things scarier.

This is my exact mindset. I just think it's stupid because it's fake. I hate to be that way because it makes me seem weird. If it isn't within the Earth's tangibility then it won't scare me.
