You’re Next

Home invasion thrillers seem to come along every five minutes… Kudos then to indie director Adam Wingard for kicking in with some fresh ideas.

By slasher standards, the writing is good, with interesting turns and surprises. And the acting isn’t bad, either, though Vinson is the one t...

It clicks as an exercise in suspense and well-paced, slowly unfolding answers.

A clever, genuine and crisply chilling take on terror that should appeal to cinephiles and Saturday night popcorn-throwers alike.

An incredibly fun scary movie.

This uninhibited slasher movie has sick-joke humor and variety – it’s more of a hack, chop, slice, dice and purée film.

The film begins as an utterly routine horror flick with all the usual musty tricks, but that’s just rope-a-dope. The expectation of stupidity...

A well-executed horror-comedy …

Given its title, you can be forgiven for assuming that Adam Wingard’s home-invasion thriller will be just another blood-soaked body-count fli...

The surprisingly adept mixture of tones … is offbeat enough to keep even hardened connoisseurs of body-count entertainment on their toes.

You’re Next doesn’t break new ground in the horror genre, but it sticks to rules that work

A nasty little slasher film that starts poorly but gets better once most of the cast has been butchered.

A smart, feral flick with a wicked sense of humor.

An energetic mix of dark comedy, senseless violence, satisfying surprises, and good old-fashioned mayhem.

A rare example of satisfying horror-comedy, a crowd-pleaser laced with some hilariously gruesome violence.

How do you breathe new life into the tired home invasion horror? Adam Wingard has the answer.

Every issue I had with You’re Next was beat into bloody submission by what works about it – it’s a primal force of a movie, a...

The camera placement has the edgy verve of early John Carpenter, and the sound design throbs with an enveloping, avant-garde menace.

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 mayhe...

You’re Next made me jump out of my seat three times. In scary movie terms that’s surely job done.

Satisfies the expectations of Midnight Madness gore hounds – and then it happily goes about exceeding those expectations.

It’s fair to note a certain similarity to certain home-invasion films of recent make. In the end, however, Wingard’s film is its o...

What the film lacks in originality it mostly makes for in personality-a quality fatally lacking from too many contemporary extreme-horror offerings.

It’s scary and often graphic, but as the action escalates to the point of absurdity, the spirit of early Sam Raimi starts to creep into both...

There may be no great originality on display in You’re Next, the latest indie horror opus from Adam Wingard, but there’s certainly plen...
