Does Annihilation have any jump-scares?

It has one jump scare, relatively early in the characters' journey into the Shimmer; in hindsight I think it's a kind of fakeout, because everything truly weird that happens in this movie then proceeds to happen in ways where you can get a perfectly good look at it. For what it's worth, I am much more sensitive to certain kinds of horrific imagery when rendered visually than when read off a page, and Annihilation did not leave me with problems in that department.
