So much average

best movie i've ever seen.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I have watched a plethora of films of late, reviewing many of them. I almost chose to bypass in making comments about this one as it is entirely stale. Plot has an original tone to it with a rich family reunion, together in the deep woods, cue killer(s) starting taking them out one by one. It would have been MORE exciting if the group was outside rather than routinely taken out in the house. The music score was weak in trying to relate to the film being a horror show. We really don't even get a chance to see ANY character development. There were a few key elements that DID rise for a higher rating, such as one of the guests had a few surprises in store for the killers, there was also a twist or two that many will not see coming. I was actually laughing at some of the performances in this film and how the screenplay was put together. If you want to check this one out and shake your head asking why did I waste 90 minutes feel free for a dull fest. This was a mediocre 4.

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.

"You're next" evolves around a family gathering, where the wealthy mom and dad meet three of their kid's partners for the first time ever. As they spend the weekend in the big mansion, masked killers enter the house and spread fear and horror under the inhabitants.You can of course argue that the movie delivers a solid plot and some well produced slasher action. And to be fair, I can totally understand how people come to a higher rating. If you're just expecting an entertaining piece of slasher horror, this one will fully satisfy you. But if you, like me, like horror movies to be a bit more subtle and deliver a story that is actually plausible, you will be disappointed. The fact that the main character can face the killers because she incidentally grew up on a survival farm alone is so dumb that I can barely take the actions serious. The rest is mainly a killing spree including multiple pretty nasty acts of violence.All in all this maybe just wasn't my cup of tea. It is solidly produced and does as it promises but for me the splasher genre is dead if you don't really come up with a fresh idea to revitalize it.

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.
