This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I enjoyed 'You're Next'. The twist (as mentioned in just about every review) was satisfying, regardless of unsubtle it was from the get-go. For the genre that it is -- 100% slasher -- the film worked well, with the second half definitely bringing more life(/death) to it.Would recommend, if you're looking for a fun horror flick.

You're Next is perhaps one of the best home invasion movies I have seen since The Strangers. It has gore, jump scares and almost everything a great horror film needs. Great work from Director Adam Wingard and Writer Simon Barrett.

The Davidson family gets together for mom and dad's 35th reunion. The kids and their bf/gfs are there for what starts out a bit snarky at dinner, then sudden arrows start coming through the windows killing people. The slasher aspect gets up close and personal, as we try to figure out the motive of the slashers (not too hard from the few clues) as there are no other characters introduced. The killers hadn't planned on plucky Erin (Sharni Vinson) fighting back.This is perhaps one of the better home break-in slasher movies I have seen in a while, which isn't saying much. A little horror, a little, drama, a little humor, a little mystery. Definitely worth a rental for fans of the genre.Parental Guide: F-bomb, nudity (Kate Lyn Sheil, Margaret Laney)

In the perfect mood for some mindless violence and some gruesome humor, a slasher always seem the obvious choice. Not being a big fan of the genre for the difficulty of making a believable film that brings a real sense of fear, I let myself be guided by the critics and reviews and finally fall for 'You're next', the umpteenth genre redefining movie.Soon I discover that I've been tricked not one, but twice by the siren voices and the empty promises of reviews as little realistic as the film they refer to. The unsavory déjà vu of the dinner scene is a clear reminder that I had seen the movie before, and for good reason not seen it through.Decided to make it to the end credits this time, I give Adam Wingard and his 'You're next' an undeserved second chance. One that would only confirm suspicion that the whole film never gets to achieve a sense of continuity and real threat. What should have -given by how the story unfolds- been a cold blooded, efficient mass murder ends up as some senseless one on one assassinations even amidst the crowd within the mansion. Even the foreseeable plot "twist" mid-film does nothing but kill the little suspense and tension the previous footage had managed to grow.But ultimately, it is the complete absurdity in every character's actions that kills the little effect the film could have produced. From characters standing alone on a room with a corpse even after everyone has left and running out in panic seconds later only to get easily killed; to people standing carelessly right in front of windows or opened doors just minutes after being the target of a hail of crossbow bolts; all through the real and genuine Crocodile Dundee of the film, the expert in survival who goes locking downstairs glass windows - some of them already broken- to prevent bad guys from entering or leaves the axe of an assaulter on the carpet because it's always a wiser idea to defend oneself with a screwdriver.Not only does 'You're next' not revive the slasher genre, but systematically repeats all the big mistakes that make most flicks of the kind dull and repetitive, offering nothing but a bunch of histrionic deaths and a story that lacks both backbone and a smooth skin.
