Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Just perfect...
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
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.
I have watched a plethora of films of late, reviewing many of them. I almost chose to bypass in making comments about this one as it is entirely stale. Plot has an original tone to it with a rich family reunion, together in the deep woods, cue killer(s) starting taking them out one by one. It would have been MORE exciting if the group was outside rather than routinely taken out in the house. The music score was weak in trying to relate to the film being a horror show. We really don't even get a chance to see ANY character development. There were a few key elements that DID rise for a higher rating, such as one of the guests had a few surprises in store for the killers, there was also a twist or two that many will not see coming. I was actually laughing at some of the performances in this film and how the screenplay was put together. If you want to check this one out and shake your head asking why did I waste 90 minutes feel free for a dull fest. This was a mediocre 4.
It's an OK movie... a bit comical almost... They never explained why the Erin character had an Australian accent... And also her shouting 'go! go! go!' in her Australian accent during the family dinner dart-attack was hilarious... The film was a bit dark in general. I mean the lighting. I had to turn up the brightness on my display.
"You're next" evolves around a family gathering, where the wealthy mom and dad meet three of their kid's partners for the first time ever. As they spend the weekend in the big mansion, masked killers enter the house and spread fear and horror under the inhabitants.You can of course argue that the movie delivers a solid plot and some well produced slasher action. And to be fair, I can totally understand how people come to a higher rating. If you're just expecting an entertaining piece of slasher horror, this one will fully satisfy you. But if you, like me, like horror movies to be a bit more subtle and deliver a story that is actually plausible, you will be disappointed. The fact that the main character can face the killers because she incidentally grew up on a survival farm alone is so dumb that I can barely take the actions serious. The rest is mainly a killing spree including multiple pretty nasty acts of violence.All in all this maybe just wasn't my cup of tea. It is solidly produced and does as it promises but for me the splasher genre is dead if you don't really come up with a fresh idea to revitalize it.
