You're Next

Aubrey (Barbara Crampton) and Paul Davison (Rob Moran) welcome his family for a reunion in their isolated vacation house. Their sons Crispian (AJ Bowen) comes with his girlfriend Erin (Sharni Vinson); Felix (Nicholas Tucci) with his girlfriend Zee (Wendy Glenn); Drake (Joe Swanberg) with his wife Kelly (Sarah Myers); and their daughter Aimee (Amy Seimetz) comes with her boyfriend Tariq (Ti West). When they are ready to have dinner, they are attacked by a stranger with a crossbow, and Drake is wounded by an arrow and Tariq dies. They discover that their cell phones are jammed and they are trapped in the house. Erin tries to protect the house, closing doors and windows, but the masked killers murder the members of the family. Are the killers lunatic? What is the motive for slaughtering the Davison family?

"You're Next" is a brutal and gore slasher with good story and twists. The plot points are not so obvious and Sharni Vinson is the heroin that every viewer will cheer on. She seems to be a fragile woman but her reaction recalls the lead character in "The Descent". My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Você é o Próximo" ("You're Next")

If you're expected some "Scream" type of film, you're in for a surprise. The story did little in introducing you to all the character, but after you meet everyone, they're all let lose and scattered in awesome violence. Once you start to piece everything together, it starts to become a theme of survival. Unlike other slasher/action film that leads the character wandering helplessly through the scene and somehow end up surviving, You're Next takes you on a thrill ride where you're always on the edge of your seat rooting at every brilliant attempt of their survival. The dialogues are simple and humorous in many of the scenes, but you'll find yourself watching this only to wonder what'll happen at the end.

I love slasher movie and this film bring so much fun to me, i love how unique the story is even with all the cheesy sound effect to make us scare, i think the fan of slasher film will love this film, and for all the casual viewer this film is good too.

If you like slashers then you're most likely gonna enjoy you're next. This movie follows a fairly generic slasher plot and there's nothing necessarily different about it initially. The film does have scenes where viewers can get familiar with the characters but there's one in particular thats most prominent in the movie. The reason why, is slowly revealed as the film goes on and makes for an exciting buildup throughout. As far as content goes, I thought there was some entertaining and suspenseful sequences involving the characters trying to evade the home invaders. This movie does have a twist that is fairly easy to pick up on but it makes for a cool rewatch.

Something else I like about this film is how it's unique compared to other horror movies. In most other horror films I've seen, the characters are usually easy targets for the antagonist because they all act stupid. However in this film the protagonist shows surprising signs of resourcefulness and even competence in fighting. This makes the movie fun because it's not just about her getting lucky but more so displays her skillsets. This left me wondering what shes gonna do next throughout the movie. I can't give this movie a perfect score because I thought the writing and acting could've been way more convincing. I also wasn't a huge fan of the shaky camera shots as it just takes away from the overall experience. Either way I thought this was a solid slasher worth watching.

I don't understand the low reviews. It's a slasher home invasion movie with a strong female lead.

Great to watch over Halloween!
