joshuamiter You're Next is perhaps one of the best home invasion movies I have seen since The Strangers. It has gore, jump scares and almost everything a great horror film needs. Great work from Director Adam Wingard and Writer Simon Barrett.

MJB784 It started out quite scary and smart, then got dumber and more pointless as it went along. When two "twists" were revealed towards the end, my emotions were frustrated after the first surprise and sunk even lower after the second. It explains why the killers murdered the family, but the person arranging the killings and why is so hurtful even though horror movies are supposed to be mean. I'm not saying it's mean in a scary way, just a depressing way why anyone would want to do what they did for such an unfortunate reason.

mogadishu-56347 It's an OK movie... a bit comical almost... They never explained why the Erin character had an Australian accent... And also her shouting 'go! go! go!' in her Australian accent during the family dinner dart-attack was hilarious... The film was a bit dark in general. I mean the lighting. I had to turn up the brightness on my display.

mikoraud My rating is given in context. Shawshank Redemption or Citizen Kane it is not, but the makers are keenly aware of what they are filming. I am not a fan of scary/horror or gore (to put it mildly) and after the first killing I was on the verge of just giving up. I am glad I didn't. The twist is nicely implemented and the lead is a smart strong (literally) female not very common in films and would make Joss Whedon and Sarah Connor proud af.I agree that the first act is a drag, and to be fair, you would't miss much if you skipped it altogether. I do not agree with the label "low budget" or rather its connotation. It may well be low budget but it does not show. All in all, a very solid addition to the genre and one that would please anyone looking for more than a simple blood fest. Couldn't propose an improvement.
