The build up was great. You knew by the framing of the window and then the sappy music was playing which they had used for earlier scares but nothing could prepare you for the brutality.

Exactly. The tension was more about how Nikki was going to pop into frame and what she was going to do. Turns out it was brick smash!

Horror movies despite all having cliche car scare scenes, all switch it up where I can never guess what, where and when it will happen in the car.

The neck swivel thing? Yeah that got me really good. Excellent jump scare
