You're Next made me jump out of my seat three times. In scary movie terms that's surely job done.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 5, 2017

Given its title, you can be forgiven for assuming that Adam Wingard's home-invasion thriller will be just another blood-soaked body-count flick. But You're Next is better than that. A lot better.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 30, 2013

By slasher standards, the writing is good, with interesting turns and surprises. And the acting isn't bad, either, though Vinson is the one to remember.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 30, 2013

Horror fans may indulge this movie; I found it derivative and forced.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 29, 2013

The camera placement has the edgy verve of early John Carpenter, and the sound design throbs with an enveloping, avant-garde menace.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2013

How do you breathe new life into the tired home invasion horror? Adam Wingard has the answer.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 28, 2013

It's scary and often graphic, but as the action escalates to the point of absurdity, the spirit of early Sam Raimi starts to creep into both the action and the dialogue.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 27, 2013

"You're Next" is a simultaneously nihilistic and grossly incompetent horror homage.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 27, 2013

Fairly routine brunette-fighting-for-survival stuff with a liberal dose of dark humour.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2013

It's fair to note a certain similarity to certain home-invasion films of recent make. In the end, however, Wingard's film is its own subset of fractious family crazy.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 23, 2013

Home invasion thrillers seem to come along every five minutes... Kudos then to indie director Adam Wingard for kicking in with some fresh ideas.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 23, 2013

Maybe, in another time and place, and with different actors and a better director, it might have worked. But this thing collapses right from the get-go.

| Aug 23, 2013

Satisfies the expectations of Midnight Madness gore hounds - and then it happily goes about exceeding those expectations.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 23, 2013

A well-executed horror-comedy ...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 23, 2013

Most of these characters are disagreeable, so the prospect of their imminent demise isn't too upsetting.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 23, 2013

A wickedly clever play on the genre that takes you by the scruff of the neck and drags you through 90 minutes of the most inventive mayhem, murder, and pitch-black comedy you're likely to see this year.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 23, 2013

You're Next brazenly merges the home-invasion thriller with the dysfunctional family dramedy.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 22, 2013

Injecting the home-invasion thriller with fresh DNA, Adam Wingard's "You're Next" strays just enough from formula to tweak our jaded appetites.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 22, 2013

A film of repetition, a bloody dance consisting of three steps: stab, scream, repeat.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 22, 2013

It clicks as an exercise in suspense and well-paced, slowly unfolding answers.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 22, 2013
