Instead of making a movie that finally gives us smart victims, You're Next embraces the stupidity of its cast and provides the audience with more than enough reasons to want them garroted, gutted, and gelded. Okay, maybe not gelded. And oh man oh man oh man oh man oh man THAT 80s SYNTH TRACK AT THE END. Tack that pulsating riff on a twenty hour-long Golden Girls blooper reel and I'd skip my grandmother's funeral to watch it.

Mumblecore family dysfunction meets The Strangers, until it's revealed there's a much more mundane motive at work. I love how killing people is actually depicted as not only difficult, but hard work. Genuinely funny, and best use of a pop song in a horror film since House of the Devil. Though its charm is largely rooted in horror convention, it doesn't obnoxiously hit you over the head with its self-awareness (see, or rather don't see, Cabin in the Woods); its irony feels much more organic.

I could never fully get into these home invasion films to be honest, but You're Next seems different from others. Some decent acting along with some wooden acting, but it does seem to be slightly smarter than some and it almost has a pretty good depth with it's score and bloody eye candy. Vinson is good.

Alternately disturbing, intense, and funny, You're Next is the best horror movie I've seen in theatres. It stands out by being very realistic: the assailants don't have superhuman pain tolerance, the victims don't follow horror movie cliches like trapping themselves in a corner, and the explanation for the killings is sound. The humor of this movie cannot be understated, as it's needed to not come off as nihilistic, and it is funnier than most self-described comedies.

A breath of fresh air to the slasher subgenre; You're Next is a fun,creepy,messy flick that starts off slow but once the action starts, it keeps you hooked. Sharni Vinson steals the film as Erin. the film doesn't bring anything new to the genre but does unique things with the tropes and other things that one would expect from a slasher flick. Definitely worth checking out if you're a horror fan.

Slick, well produced, and all around a bloody, good time. Adam Wingard serves up an awesome home invasion film that manages to pull something unique out of a trite and uninspiring concept. You're Next offers up good visuals, and an on-your-toes type story, while bringing out a relatively unknown cast of deliverers.

You're Next surprised me and it's one of the best slasher/home invasion films in recent years. Its clear to see Adam Wingard is a fan of and understands the genre and his overall direction is solid. The acting is much to be desired, but Sharni Vinson is a strong female protagonist that you root for. The track 'Looking for the Magic' is great & the genius score feels like a throwback to a John Carpenter film. It starts off generically but it progresses towards a thoroughly entertaining third act.

An above average 'home invasioner' with a few nasty moments and antagonists that don't mess around, but unfortunately also features a lot of Bad Decision Making by the people we're supposed to root for. Sharni Vinson's character nicely carries the movie once the cast has dwindled down. Add some extra points if you really hate family dinners.

This was awesome. Has some legitimately scary stuff and isn't one of those horror movies where you're like shit you could've killed them like 9 times by now wtf. The score is fantastic and the jump scares, which typically bug me, were actually done really well. Really makes you want to curl up with murderers on a Tuesday night more often you dig

Not many horror films are able to maintain the tension after - for want of a vaguer description - undercutting the narrative thrust with dark comedy. But if ever a film has been able to hold you right on the edge of your seat while keeping the jet-black humour coming, You're Next is it. A brilliantly dark movie.

Perfect for any fan of 80's slasher flicks who also enjoys characters turning the tables on the enemies.. Like a rated R Home Alone! The film holds the feeling of an 80's horror flick and the first half is fairly corny and littered with a few bad actors/actresses. I ended up enjoying it and would watch again.

Sidesteps the home invasion template with fresh takes and fun performances (Swanberg's condescending jerkoff is just the best). As a frequent viewer of the dregs of the genre, I am madly in love with the way the lead female character was written. Smart, assertive and a plausible background that helps explain her bad assery. Some goofiness (stop with the post-kill head tilt, please) but genuinely funny and smart. Plus, best use of a pop song in horror since House of the Devil. Oh, hey Ti West.

You're Next is an incredibly successful home invasion film that works both as horror and comedy, as long as you're okay at laughing at some somewhat dark material. It has a strong lead, some decent scares, a good deal of humor, and more fake blood than you can shake a stick at. Its twists are surprising -- at least in terms of the who, not the what -- and it manages the tough balancing act when mixing genres. This is a fun and scary movie, and I recommend giving it a look.

This surprising, fun & witty subversion of the slasher genre upends everything that's godawful about those films. I felt a cathartic pleasure every time the protagonist guts someone, which was no doubt magnified by every time I've impatiently sat through some moronic horror film plod through its checklist of hacking assorted teen stereotypes to death. It's smart enough that I have to assume those ridiculously vision-restricting masks are another sly commentary on the genre & its tropes.

Wingard and Barrett know their slasher tropes and want to make sure you realize just how clever and subversive they're being in one scene before completely changing course and playing everything completely straight in the next. This results in the movie tripping over itself quite a bit while it tries to play hopscotch between black comedy and horror, but there were still enough laughs and over-the-top kills that I enjoyed it throughout. Enjoyed seeing the killers make dumb mistakes for once.

I have a pretty consistent track record of hating home invasion movies, but this one is the first one that takes the concept and makes something awesome out of it. This one has twists and fighting back, something the sub-genre has been lacking since the get go. It's not often you see anything break away from the pack in the horror genre, so when there is one, check it out.

This is surprisingly good. I don't think much of slasher films, especially isolated ones because it's a relatively over-done synopsis. However, this one plays into some of its tropes really well, especially when it sprinkles in some dark humor material. It somehow plays as a dumb, but also clever nod to horror and it just has fun to it. I wouldn't call it particularly scary, but it definitely kept me invested all the way through and it should've gotten more attention.

Simple as simple gets when it comes to story and the "acting" is laughable, just like every other film in the genre. Was laughing at how bad it was in the beginning, until I realized why I was laughing, later on during the credits, looking at the people involved. But Joe Swanberg needs to stop acting. Seriously, he's terrible in everything.

An affluent family convenes for the parents' anniversary, only to find themselves under siege by masked assailants. One of them (Sharni Vinson) proves quite capable in dealing with the intruders, leading to her discovery of their true motives. The characters are mostly ciphers, the acting isn't that good (Vinson aside), and the dark comic turns of the story are a bit too self-conscious--but Adam WIngard delivers the thrills and chills in high style, making for a satisfyingly gruesome experience.

Some gruesomely imaginative deaths and some dark, dark humour make this movie into a surprisingly fun time. Starts as an Ils or The Strangers knock off but quickly develops it's own style. The scares are diminished with the humour but it's refreshing to see a home-invasion/slasher movie mix comedy and horror so well together with perfect timing.

Part slasher part revenge flick, the film is an entertaining ride with a few good laughs and several memorable scenes albeit a somewhat generic shallow plot, but that doesn't matter. It avoids taking itself too seriously, which helps make the revenge part highly entertaining - it got me thinking of Deathproof, and although the film doesn't achieve Tarantino's level of pure joy and gratification, it is getting there. A wonderful nod to George Romero's NotLD too. /c Prince Charles Cinema

Without any distinct motivation or character development, this didn't seem to add up to anything more than a lousy gimmick. But I became more involved by the time the story kicked into second gear and it's got some outlandish deaths to spare.

I rarely ever really care about the familes/victims in home invasion movies but surprisingly at some point I really started to cheer for Vinson's character-- what a badass, each kill became really triumphant. Outside of Vinson the acting ranges from bad to kinda decent, but luckily it didn't sink the flick. Cool kills, interesting musical choices, goes in some fun directions. It's incredibly tense but not real scary, although a few jump scares exist.

A good house invasion movie and a good fit for the horror genre; many of the scenes, especially towards the beginning, were tense and frightening. However, it does default into some basic tropes towards the end, and I think that, given the knowledge of the twist, it would have made more sense to hire mercenaries who owned guns and were better at killing people. The music sticks with you.

I was torn for a good chunk of the movie, and while the motivations are fairly dull and one twist is lame, there are so many bits that just rip up the tension. Specifically, when the window shatters and the sheep-mask attacker steps through as the music ratchets up, it hits an excellent stride. There are enough of those moments to distract from the plot reveals, and those aren't horrendous. If you hated The Strangers (like I did) this might be more palatable. Great synthesizer!

A 'big break' mumblegore flick that got buyer for a wide distribution and seeing all the good ratings I expected it to be something special. But it is not. It's just unoriginal home invasion flick with a family drama twist that has been done many times before. Beginning shows promise, but aside from a couple of fun scenes there isn't much to be excited about. It has good production values, but none of that originality I look for in independent horror.

In a way this is the polar opposite of The Strangers, a movie that suffered by being a slave to its conventions. You're Next feels so much more aware of the movies that influenced it, and it takes measures to stay one step ahead of its equally-savvy audience. That isn't to say it's wholly unpredictable, but it's full of enough little surprising details, and enough wit, to make for a consistently entertaining experience.

Who knew what slashers needed was diverse adult characters instead of adults posing as cardboard teenagers? This was great almost every character was a real personality and acted well. The kills are imaginative and hit hard fast and shocking. Giving a backstory as to how the one who fights back knows how to do everything was a nice idea. The twist wasn't too shocking and the very end was super predictable after that but still not story ideas seen often in this genre

I thought it was pretty lame overall. The acting was terrible, the dialogue was bad, the characters weren't developed, and it wasn't scary. I would praise the occasional surprising moment, but they're undercut by the predictable story and plot twists. Also, the ending was stupid. It's all a bizarre mix of The Strangers (2008) and Home Alone (1990). It's an amateurish film, and I don't recommend it unless you want to see some okay gore.

My wife hates horror movies. She has been Facebooking the whole time I've been watching these movies this October. But, You're Next made her put down her phone. She was interested in the story.

A fun diversion in the mould of an old timey slasher – never particularly scary because nothing about it feels genuine; it always feels like a cold technical exercise designed to showcase Wingard’s film-making smarts and on that level, it’s a fine calling card. Some moments of tension though and well deployed elements of sicko cruelty to the gore, without ever making the film a gruelling endurance test. Generally well performed, with Vinson a standout as a suprisingly capable “final girl”.

You're Next is a movie that doesn't know whether it wants to be biting and satirical or seriously scary. It ends up being a mediocre soup of "a little bit of both".

This is another horror movie where the plot is advanced through stupid character decisions. I was rooting for the killers since the main characters were so dumb and unlikable. The camera was shaking non stop and almost always too fucking close to the action. To the writer of this movie: fuck you. To the director, fuck you too. Both points in my score are for Erin who was the only exception, but her time came too late.

This movie isn't great and incredibly predictable. Its difficult to route for any of the 'victims' when you don't care about any of them or their relationships.

There are many moments of cliché horror sequences which you would expect which go from the far fetched to the ridiculous! The idea is is better then the execution unfortunately.

Unrelentingly grim and mechanical slasher movie. Some might call it black humour but to me it's just sadism.

Not too scary aside from the first kill. Overall, you get poor acting and a basic psycho killer plot. They try to hide who the bad people are, but it's pretty obvious. I knew early on.

Fun film, but flawed. The characters are very, very cliche and corny, some of the dialogue also. And at first, seamed like it was making a good attempt at building the tension and dread, but that was ruined by lady macgyver making it more of an action film with a bit of blood, and the incredibly awful twist.......which just sucked all the venom out of the atmosphere it could have had. Still, some very fun kills.
