Movie Info
One of the smartest and most terrifying films in years, YOU'RE NEXT reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist on home-invasion horror. When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped...until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.

Fairly routine brunette-fighting-for-survival stuff with a liberal dose of dark humour.
Top CriticHome invasion thrillers seem to come along every five minutes... Kudos then to indie director Adam Wingard for kicking in with some fresh ideas.
Satisfies the expectations of Midnight Madness gore hounds - and then it happily goes about exceeding those expectations.
A well-executed horror-comedy ...
Most of these characters are disagreeable, so the prospect of their imminent demise isn't too upsetting.
A wickedly clever play on the genre that takes you by the scruff of the neck and drags you through 90 minutes of the most inventive mayhem, murder, and pitch-black comedy you're likely to see this year.
Amidst all the slashing and killing, director Adam Wingard (working off a script by Simon Barrett) injects a good deal of dark fun into the proceedings, especially when it comes to unmasking the psychos terrorising the family.
If you're a fan of clever stalk 'n' slash horror movies, 'You're Next' should be your next choice. It's a fresh spin on the ever-popular 'home invasion' movies that have been around for years.
Director Luis Buñuel would be proud of the scabrous scene in which the Davison clan sits down to supper and the civilized bourgeois meal turns to rot before our eyes.
A thriller that indeed does thrill through suspense and wit, particularly in its rather inspired spins on all-too-familiar genre tropes.
You're Next is pretty satisfying as a semi-horror film, sparring gamely with genre conventions rather than embracing or spoofing them outright.
Mumblecore may be dead but mumblegore is alive and, well, pretty grisly, judging from this tongue-in-cheek, blender-in-head home-invasion horror thriller notable for its go-for-broke brashness and what-the-hell spirit.
Make sure to check out this fresh scary movie with just enough thrills to have you jumping out of your seat.
The screenplay has some commendably good ideas, namely the reason for Erin's proficiency at survival, and also the twist in the plot that explains why the killings are happening. It also has a really silly one
a smart, gory, and often darkly comical variant on the home invasion horror-thriller
While I didn't like 'You're Next,' I think it was pretty well made and it did what it was supposed to do. It scared me and repulsed me a little.
It has some truly creepy moments early on, as well as an authentic ruthlessness and some black humour.
As glib and gory as it is, You're Next is a swift and energetic tweak of the dumb home invasion genre.
There comes a point where the difference between bad-on-purpose and just-plain-bad is wholly academic.
... not especially original or complex, but it might deliver the goods for genre aficionados.
Although the set-up remains distinctly stupid - the plot exists purely to service its own excesses - those who like to laugh at moments of gross violence should find their ribs are involuntarily tickled.
You're Next is simultaneously a home invasion horror movie and a commentary on home invasion horror movies. That it does both equally well is a real achievement.
The film's big problem is only too familiar. The victims are so cliched that we never care about them, still less identify with them.
It's very low budget but made with some flair.
A smart alec horror of the highest order, Adam Wingard's You're Next revels in the thrill of taking a hatchet to the face of indie cinema's most well-worn archetype: the upper middle class family.
Horror fans may indulge this movie; I found it derivative and forced.
