For some reason all people in horror movies are idiots trying to get slaughtered as easy as possible. In this movie as well. The idea of people being locked in a house being terorrized by a group of masked is not quite original either. Not sure why anyone would call this a good slasher. The acting and images are good though.

It's amazing how every antagonist in this film gets their ass beat by a single chick who is crippled throughout half of this movie. How is that possible? The main chick could barely move yet she's able to kill EVERY villain here. It's a low budget film with a bunch of nameless actors so don't expect good acting here. Also, the gore in this film really bothers me. Why is all of the blood brown and orange? They couldn't afford fake red blood?

You're Next is a rather intelligent horror thriller which at least gives some thought to the plot, the motivations of the villains and how the heroine at least manages to keep them at bay.Unfortunately it is let down with a rather slow opening and low budget as a lot of it is dimly lit. Still it is one of the better horror/thrillers of recent years.The Davison's are having a celebratory dinner in a remote vacation home. The parents are celebrating their anniversary and their children and significant others have joined them. Their is some bickering before they are attacked by crossbows by people on the outside wearing masks.In the confusion and among the mounting death toll, one of the girlfriend's invited turns out to be handy in defending herself.

Okay so I've heard about this film for a few years now about how it's some underrated slasher flick that's just a fun time for viewers. I kept putting it off because I felt I had other movies to watch for awhile now. Recently, however, the director, Adam Wingard, released Death Note on Netflix which I watched and found a very niche sort of ironical charm to. So I decided to see another movie of his, You're Next, to see if he's just some sort of campy director. He isn't, he's just terrible. Spoilers ahead.The opening scene is honestly pretty good and sets the tone pretty well. After, however, it's all downhill. Firstly, all of the acting aside from maybe the father of the family is terrible. Everyone is either underacting or overacting to everything going on around them. The twist, or rather twists of the film are also dumb and obvious, frankly due to the terrible acting. It is so blindingly obvious as to why the "baby" of the family and his creepy girlfriend are in on the killings and it doesn't take long for the audience to piece together the motive. The second twist, however, is just plain stupid mainly because of how easily forgettable the Crispain character (sick name by the way, loser) is in terms of the story. I didn't care if he was in on it too by that point I just wanted the movie to end. Aside from the characters all being idiots, like not hiding certain bodies and literally walking to their deaths, I have a huge qualm with the lead Erin and how she ruins the "final girl" trope. The final girl is a trope that's old but welcome in my opinion and can be done very well like with Halloween, Alien, Scream and A Nightmare on Elms Street. Here, though, Erin is portrayed as this bad ass character who can perform Rambo moves on the killers with a stupid backstory (raised in a survival camp?) It takes the tension out knowing the final girl could easily kill the killers instead of the other way around. Huge mistakes all around with this film along with a few smaller mistakes sprinkled in for good measure. 3/10
