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.

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 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.

You're Next is your basic break-in horror film. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie even though the characters were rather basic throughout, with one huge exception.

If you see this movie, see it for the character named Erin, played by Sharni Vinson. She makes this movie. Without her this would be just an average film. Unlike so many horror films where female characters scream and do absurd things because they are terrified out of their minds, Erin takes a survival leadership approach. You're Next would be just an average film without Erin.

Without a doubt a different take on the female character within a horror film. And that is why I recommend seeing this movie.

Surprise of the day! You're Next is effective, gruesome, wickedly funny and twisted. I had a blast with this. It's not that original, but the way it plays with certain expectations is pretty refreshing, and the whole set up and the way the rampage starts is pretty fantastic. While it never takes on a full-on comedic tone like other horror films, it still takes great pleasure in giving the audience the most simple type of satisfaction. That's not saying it's not gory, because it is, and it's quite brutal. The actors are all pretty appropriate considering the tone of the film, and the twists manage to work. The ending also works in spite of itself. This is highly recommended, perhaps even better than The Conjuring.
