You're Next

Adam Wingard's You're Next brazenly merges the home-invasion thriller with the dysfunctional family dramedy.

Adam Wingard’s You’re Next strays just enough from formula to tweak our jaded appetites. That it does so without spraying the gore to geyserlike excess says a great deal about Mr. Wingard’s sensibility.

Wingard’s film is its own subset of fractious family crazy.

Turns out You’re Next isn’t a slave to horror-movie conventions after all — rather, it’s having tongue-in-cheek fun with conventions while playing up to them, complete with a killer retro ’80s-horror synth score and a gruesome finale that recalls the excess of Peter Jackson’s “Dead Alive.”

Character development and plotting are rudimentary, though the tongue-in-cheek never gets dislodged while the body count rises.

Although there's a twist in this tale, most of it is stuff we've seen before. And Wingard doesn't think of a new way to show it.

You’re Next is built on such an enormous pile of guff, it’s practically insulting.

Finally a horror thriller full of blood, suspense, humor and action! the cinematography it's perfect is not the same cliche when the killers are mysterious and only show his face at the end and never are the victims! and Sharni Vinson was perfect.

It was really interesting to watch, but it's not very special movie to find something deep in it.

This was a so-so who-dunnit. My only comment is that A.J. Bowen is too gay to be desired by his co-star. Mom/Dad's acting weak. Wd like to see what happens in You're Next Part Deux.

Que desperdicio, tiene un inicio prometedor, un segundo acto interesante pero convenientemente suspicaz y un tercer acto verdaderamente horrible, desde el momento en el que Felix y Zee se deja entrever que tienen algo que ver con lo que está por ocurrir, esto se termina de comprobar cuando se muestran totalmente neutros al baño de sangre y pareciera normal para ellos, no pasa mucho tiempo para que se termine revelando que son las mentes maestras y el motivo no podría ser más obvio que el de una millonaria herencia. Afortunadamente no todo es malo, Erin lo hace casi increíble como final girl pudiendo ser eficiente y con un muy elevado instinto de supervivencia, pero siento que pudo tener un final mejor. En fin, entretenida, pero muy absurda.
