"You're Next" Movie Review

"You're Next" is a Home Invasion/Slasher film that had its initial premier in 2011, but didn't get its wide release until this weekend.  Remember what we all hoped "The Purge" would be?  Movie goers thought they were going into a Home Invasion Horror film, but got more of a Political Thriller instead. "Your Next" is the Home Invasion movie we have all been waiting for...

The plot centers around a family reuniting for a weekend getaway in a cabin in the woods style house.  The get-together is cut short when arrows start flying through the windows in an attempt to kill the family one by one.  This is the start of a terrifying siege of men wearing animal masks.

This film is a Slasher fans dream come true.  It has frighting killers, great plot twists, "Home Alone" style booby traps, but most of all, it has one kick ass Scream Queen.  This film was clearly written to make the Scream Queen as tough as possible.  Watching her set up booby traps and fight the killers was the most satisfying feeling to any Horror fan.  This film knows exactly what it is and knows how to please the audience.

My new favorite Scream Queen

"Your Next" has revitalized the Slasher genre.  With so many Haunted House and Possession films flooding the theaters, it is refreshing to see a Slasher flick make such a positive lasting impression.  "You're Next" is the ultimate Slasher movie.  Drawing in influences from "Clue", "Home Alone", and "Friday the 13th", "You're Next" will be re-watched for generations to come.  A perfect 5 out of 5 Machetes

Warped! It's Like Church for Hardcore Kids

My Crew ready for Hardcore Brootality

I attended the Vans Warped Tour  a few weeks back. It had been the first show I attended since the A Day To Remember show this past March. It felt great to get back in the pits and Mosh, Hardcore Dance, and Crowd Surf. Its really hard to explain, but I actually get butterflies in my stomach right before I get into a pit. I feel the most happy in my life when I am there. Its a feeling words cannot describe.

I attended the show with my girlfriend Taylor and my best bud Lucas. We kicked off the day strong by seeing Metalcore band, Woe Is Me. I got in the pits and Hardcore Danced. I got my first injury of the day by getting elbowed in the face and stared bleeding from the mouth. This didn't stop me by any means.

The Next band we saw was Metalcore band, We Came A Romans. This was Lucas's and Taylor's favorite band of the tour. Lucas got in the pit and absolutely tour it up! He conducted a Wall of Death and Moshed during every song. Taylor got her injury of the day by having a crowd surfer land on her head hard.

The next band I was all revved up for... Another Metalcore act named Memphis May Fire. I participated in the circle pits, crowd surfed and sang along. It was great!

We then went directly to see a Japanese Dubstep/Metalcore band called Crossfaith. This was no doubt one of the bands that surprised us the most. They didn't have the largest crowd, but it's where I had the most fun in the pit. There was lots of room for people to Hardcore Dance. As well as throwing down, I Crowd Surfed and gave the vocalist a high five. Lucas later met the band after their set.

The last band we saw was a Deathcore band called Upon A Burning Body. I was super stoked to see this band because I knew all their lyrics and was ready to be in the front screaming along.  My crew, by my side, held their own by having crowd surfers fall on top of them as well as pits breaking out left and right. I of course was in the front shouting along to every song.

This was no doubt one of the best Vans Warped Tours I have ever attended. Friends, pits, and the Hardcore community. Nothing could be more enjoyable to me. I am already looking forward to the next show, and for my pals to be right next to my side Moshing and singing along with me.
