It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Yet another idiotic modern thriller. Just as moronic, illogical and far-fetched as most others. Hence its very solid rating, because people just love their thrillers dumb. As dumb as possible, in fact. Nothing's too dumb: logic is the real enemy these days. This can be seen in politics and just about everything else too.1. In a room full of people, it takes them ages to realize the director was shot and that the window is smashed. Or were they going for Bugs Bunny slapstick?2. It takes them ages to realize they should stay away from the windows.3. "Mobile phones don't work!" (They never do, of course.) Then they give us a lame-o excuse why they don't work, but I don't buy it for one second.4. They send a woman - running - outside. Extremely dumb idea, ends predictably.5. A killer gets pinned down with a huge kitchen knife. Seconds later he disappears. As usual, serial-killers have superhuman strength and supernatural abilities - in a non-supernatural setting. They also predict events much better than average humans. Modern thrillers: the age of the genius omnipotent serial-killer.6. I knew the left-wing chick would turn out to be the toughest one: it's in the nature of U.S. thrillers to be as PC as possible - not just dumb.7. Why wear masks? They intend to kill them anyway.8. People get stabbed in the back - but run or walk away anyway.9. A couple devises the entire shebang - while they're at the house. Why would they do that? Just so the audience can have the first of a series of moronic plot-twists.10. Brother conspirator stabs his brother then says I'm sorry. Wow. It's frightening to consider that some people enjoy this silly junk.Trust me, I could go all the way to 100. And that's why thrillers are ideally suited for people who simply don't give a toss about intelligent plot-development. It's a totally pleb genre.As for this being considered a "black comedy" by some, people who think that should finally face their inner sociopath. Fascinatingly enough, this obsession of finding humour in sadistic movies (even when there is none, or very little) is very much a hipster hobby. Or perhaps some people just can't comprehend that that there are such dumb film-makers out there so they simply assume the nonsense must be intended to be ironic or "clever" in some intentional way. Some people aren't bright enough to distinguish between a dumb monologue (by fatso) and intentional comedy.

You're Next is perhaps one of the best home invasion movies I have seen since The Strangers. It has gore, jump scares and almost everything a great horror film needs. Great work from Director Adam Wingard and Writer Simon Barrett.

The Davidson family gets together for mom and dad's 35th reunion. The kids and their bf/gfs are there for what starts out a bit snarky at dinner, then sudden arrows start coming through the windows killing people. The slasher aspect gets up close and personal, as we try to figure out the motive of the slashers (not too hard from the few clues) as there are no other characters introduced. The killers hadn't planned on plucky Erin (Sharni Vinson) fighting back.This is perhaps one of the better home break-in slasher movies I have seen in a while, which isn't saying much. A little horror, a little, drama, a little humor, a little mystery. Definitely worth a rental for fans of the genre.Parental Guide: F-bomb, nudity (Kate Lyn Sheil, Margaret Laney)

This kind of films is usually low rated by me. It's very rare that I find one good film and that happened to be this one. I was braced for another disappointment, then I totally got surprised when it reached half way mark. Good twist too. In fact, there are many twists in the final quarters. Not like breathtaking, but very acceptable with kind of story and characters it had.Another home invasion film. A family reunites for the parent's wedding anniversary at their rural vacation house. Slowly all the children arrive with their life partners, and then suddenly while dining, the attack takes place. Creates full of chaos, the family does not know what to do. But one of the members' retaliation makes thing complication for the attackers. What follows after that, and how it all ends are the rest of the story.First of all, this is not a horror film as labelled. It is a terror. We don't have a such genre, so it comes under horror. But the best way to call it a thriller. Sharni Vinson was very good. It's because of how her role was designed. Best film so far by this filmmaker, until his upcoming big titles. A one-night-event film, and of course a limited cast. They make sequels for crap films, but this one definitely deserves one. So I'm expecting one. Thos who love this genre must see it.8/10
