Powerful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The acting in this movie is really good.

I have no clue, something about this movie just always sticks with me! I think it lost some realisticness towards the end, but everything leading up to the.. ummm.. events (lol) was believable. Also the plot twist at the end. Loved what a bad ass the lead female character was, and they did a good job of mentioning how she knew what she did. The ending had me dying!!! I was so pissed!!! hahahhaha But still satisfied.

This kind of films is usually low rated by me. It's very rare that I find one good film and that happened to be this one. I was braced for another disappointment, then I totally got surprised when it reached half way mark. Good twist too. In fact, there are many twists in the final quarters. Not like breathtaking, but very acceptable with kind of story and characters it had.Another home invasion film. A family reunites for the parent's wedding anniversary at their rural vacation house. Slowly all the children arrive with their life partners, and then suddenly while dining, the attack takes place. Creates full of chaos, the family does not know what to do. But one of the members' retaliation makes thing complication for the attackers. What follows after that, and how it all ends are the rest of the story.First of all, this is not a horror film as labelled. It is a terror. We don't have a such genre, so it comes under horror. But the best way to call it a thriller. Sharni Vinson was very good. It's because of how her role was designed. Best film so far by this filmmaker, until his upcoming big titles. A one-night-event film, and of course a limited cast. They make sequels for crap films, but this one definitely deserves one. So I'm expecting one. Thos who love this genre must see it.8/10

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
