"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
