Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk You're Next made me jump out of my seat three times. In scary movie terms that's surely job done. Rated: 3/5 Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly Given its title, you can be forgiven for assuming that Adam Wingard's home-invasion thriller will be just another blood-soaked body-count flick. But You're Next is better than that. A lot better. Rated: B+ Dec 30, 2013 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle By slasher standards, the writing is good, with interesting turns and surprises. And the acting isn't bad, either, though Vinson is the one to remember. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 30, 2013 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Humour hugs every frame and helps remove that skin-crawling intensity of Funny Games, replacing it with the energy and vibrancy of Scream. Rated: 4/5 Aug 20, 2024 Full Review Niall Browne Movies in Focus You’re Next is an entertaining flick with a good cast having a good time playing an assortment of unlikeable characters. This tight and confined chamber piece has wit and ingenuity, offering up an assortment of stand-out moments and wince-inducing kills. Rated: 4/5 Jul 28, 2024 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Manages to not only be a genuine tribute to the strengths of the home-invasion subgenre, but also finds ways to circumvent those tropes, delivering something that's a delight from start to finish, while also offering up genuine tension.

Julian S The family’s overplayed dysfunction makes their downfall painfully predictable. Vinson, however, injects genuine energy and charisma, doing her best to salvage a character let down by lazy writing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Alison V This movie was so much better then a lot of the big budget trashbags calling themselves horror movies.. Not ironed out completely, but the twist, suspense, and horror.. done so well.. one of my faves that I always recommend to friends who wouldn't have watched it otherwise Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Savannah S A genuinely great movie. This is the horror, slasher, home invasion, and female representation movie we want and needed. Also its finally a movie where the victims aren't absolutely braindead, most of them were actually competent. 10/10 A good movie that seems realistic for what normal people would do. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/24 Full Review Matthew D One smart survivor among a bunch of idiotic yuppies for an amusing home invasion horror. Director Adam Wingard’s slasher horror mystery thriller You’re Next (2011) is decently entertaining, mostly because all of the main characters are complete morons. It’s really more funny, rather than frightening. This movie is like a guide of what not to do if you are attacked. The heroine is the only intelligent one smart enough to pick up heavy things as a weapon or make traps. Almost no one tries to avoid the killers, arms themselves, holds onto their weapons, fights back, helps the others, or prevents more attackers from entering the home. They also keep splitting up or avoid assisting the others to a ridiculous extent. When all the characters are awful selfish people, it’s easy to root for them to die. The lead heroine Erin is at least smart and attempts to survive, but the others are all arrogant and useless rich people. It’s a very implausible, but mostly engaging story. I definitely found it funnier than scary. Writer Simon Barrett delivers a tense home invasion scenario, clever twists, brutal violence, and tons of funny jokes. A lot of the dialogue is awkward and it’s certainly not a new premise by any means. There’s better slashers like You’re Next that have been released before and after it. You’re Next is just a worse version of The Strangers, Ready or Not, or even The Hunt. It’s not that scary, despite some thrilling attacks and interesting twists. The Night of the Living Dead type ending is crazy. It is very funny for the stupid characters and often horrible acting for much of the cast. Casting director Michelle Morris cast a talented lead actress in Sharni Vinson, who has to carry the film. The rest of the ensemble ranges from passable to laughably awful. Sharni Vinson is captivating and impressive as horror heroine Erin, who has to survive an onslaught of home invaders. Her brutal attacks and inventive traps make her feel tough and resourceful. Vinson is gripping and really carries You’re Next. Nicholas Tucci is pretty amusing as the silly Felix Davison. His wails and complaints are hilarious. Wendy Glenn is unhinged as the Goth Zee. She’s a scream here. A. J. Bowen is pretty boring as Erin’s annoying creep boyfriend Crispian Davison. Joe Swanberg is a riot as the ever judgmental Drake Davison. Sarah Myers is atrocious as the screaming Kelly Davison. Amy Seimetz is nice, but only appears briefly as Aimee Davison. Ti West is fun as the documentary filmmaker Tariq. Rob Moran is really flat and monotone in all his line readings as the father Paul Davison. Barbara Crampton is amusing as the hysterical mother Aubrey Davison. Calvin Reeder is great as the final cop, Officer Trubiano. Editor Adam Wingard’s cutting feels really disjointed and annoying. It’s hard to follow what’s on screen sometimes. Cinematographer Andrew Droz Palermo has super shaky camera shots and awkward framing. I didn’t care for the entire film being wide and medium shots mostly. The dark lighting from Marcus Batton made it hard to see all the action. Composer Mads Heldtberg provides heavy synth music for the film score, but it needed to go harder to be scarier. Costume designer Emma Potter came up with cool masks and outfits. Makeup artist Zsófia Ötvös does great work here on everyone. In short, You’re Next is thrilling and funny, but not nearly scary enough. It has really mixed acting performances. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review KerryWhite's S 8/10. 87/100. | Not quite as good as the first couple watches, but still great. Pretty close to what I originally rated it - 93/100. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review D G Watchable, actually had a few good scenes, but the plot was to predictable.... Ending was pretty good tho Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
