Humour hugs every frame and helps remove that skin-crawling intensity of Funny Games, replacing it with the energy and vibrancy of Scream.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2024

You’re Next is an entertaining flick with a good cast having a good time playing an assortment of unlikeable characters. This tight and confined chamber piece has wit and ingenuity, offering up an assortment of stand-out moments and wince-inducing kills.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 28, 2024

Manages to not only be a genuine tribute to the strengths of the home-invasion subgenre, but also finds ways to circumvent those tropes, delivering something that's a delight from start to finish, while also offering up genuine tension.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Sep 20, 2023

The material is a welcomed change from the dull, commercial-minded yarns such material would normally produce.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 25, 2022

It's a sly thriller that seems self-aware of its intent, making the laughs land, the synthy-score pop, and the thrills and kills squeamishly entertaining.

| Nov 12, 2021

Laughs are only a fraction of the responses you'll hear if you see this with an audience, which I suggest you do. Applause, gasps, cheers, whatever sound people make when they are grossed out; not a scene goes by without a hearty reaction from the crowd.

Quite a few surprises are also gratifyingly lined up for audiences, taking care not to overdo the twists while still allowing several to alarm the unsuspecting.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 4, 2020

The film checks all the requisite boxes and moves in a few new directions to boot.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 7, 2020

Twisted, gory, scary, tense, and shockingly funny.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 8, 2020

You're Next is anchored by a singularly compelling performance by its lead actress, leading to a most visceral and entertaining experience.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 17, 2020

I wanna be next in line to see You're Next again!!! It's bloody wonderful!

| Nov 27, 2019

As You're Next changes from grimly scary to an over-the-top gore fest, Wingard should have gone back and consulted those '70s films where not everything has to be explained.

| Original Score: 2.8/5 | Nov 20, 2019

The mix of gore, humor and familiarity takes the film from being a passable "B" movie to a successful and well-executed homage that may change the way we view the genre.

| Aug 8, 2019

While the absence of misogynist undertones makes this an extremely pleasurable horror crowd pleaser, the predilection for cheap laughs lightens the thrills to such an extent that it flies past black comedy into parody during key sequences.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 27, 2019

You're Next is an absolute beast of a horror picture that's so fierce, barbaric, and terrifying that the guy sitting next to me in the theater started to convulse from fright and leaped over his chair and bolted out of the theater.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Apr 11, 2019

You're Next is nice little ride, and I appreciate that it had a lot of awesome splatteriffic moments.

| Mar 2, 2019

You're Next operates as a genre palette cleanser, with its acerbic humour bringing a fresh, vital edge to the most worn slasher tropes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2019

Vinson's cunning turn as Erin could potentially become iconic as one of the strongest female action heroes in a generation, which is fitting since gems as smart and satisfying as "You're Next" come around just as rarely.

| Jan 8, 2019

Saturated with snappy dialogue, twisty plotting and wicked-minded wit, the sacrificial lambs in You're Next that display murderous masked menaces and their pristine prey are a welcomed relief to the corrosive crop of dice-and-slice cinema

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 17, 2018

Adam Wingard's nasty, scrupulously violent home-invasion film is like if the killers from The Strangers went people-hunting after a screening of Cannibal Holocaust.
