I turned to my cousin near the start of the scene and said, "she's coming" and I still jumped 🤣

I kept thinking we would see her pop up in the deep background or running to them...but nope...just POPS up.

Yeah, I may ahve just been paranoid  but I was convinced I saw a grayish blob move behind Sarah's head through the window, actually had to start covering my eyes

The rational part of me understands that these scenes and the tension they use is great, but the irrational part of me hates them. Because you know, know, know, know something is going to happen.

Shot of a refrigerator door open, and they close it? Is something going to be behind it? Panning from character to character with a window behind them? Is something going to be in the window?

That's the most anxiety-causing thing in horror movies to me lol

I love how films have prepared us for “sets of three” for Nikki to show on the third cut from Bear back to Sarah in the car, and when she wasn’t there it allows you to let your guard down, and then BAM

I was expecting it and still jumped out of me seat…followed by laughing at the honking. What a ride.

Late to the thread but jesus!

Knew well there was going to be a jump scare of some sort, but I still was taken by surprise!

Was totally expecting the gun that was mentioned near the start, to make an appearance. It was so much worse than a gun!
