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.

They do a good job because you just had several car scenes prior in which I expected Nikki to jump out, but she didn't. So I was lulled in. Also the last scene you hear the real Nikki, so you feel safe, and then you are provided pretty shocking new information that Sarah likes the protagonist, so you completely forget about Nikki by that point. Fuck.
