So with The Purge and now You’re Next the “Home Invasion”
genre seems to be a popular at the moment and I do have to say out if the 2
films You’re next is definitely the best one!
The film opens up with a lady and a man who have just
finished up some sexy time. She then goes to take a show and his butchered by
an unknown intruder the man goes to investigate and written on the wall in
blood is “YOU’RE NEXT” and indeed he is, great gory opening to the film that
sets it up nicely for a big body count to come.
So we then switch to their dead folk’s neighbours, quite a
way up the road in this pretty much isolated community. The Family are there
for a get together and you see them arrive one by one, the usual bunch, the
nice guy, the spoilt brat and his girlfriend, the mum and dad, you get the
picture .So with them all there the family sit down for a meal when one of them (None other than
Ti West!) hears something outside and decides to take a peek through the window
when “boom!” crossbow bolt straight to the forehead! The family take cover as
more bolts rain through the window and try to exit the room A.S.A.P. Wondering what
the hell has happened it transpires that one of the son’s girlfriends was
brought up on a survivalist camp! So you now have the set up. Unknown strangers
outside, A trapped family inside, one dead and a survivalist girl who proceeds
to set many a deadly trap.
But just who are the people and how many are there and what
are their motivations? And who is behind those creepy as hell masks???Well I won’t spoil any of that as it has some real
clever twists and turns. The body count mounts up and the deaths get more
violent and inventive. I personally really enjoyed You’re next on the level of
turn your brain off, sit back and enjoy the ride! Well shot, gory, funny in
places and twists galore you can do a lot worse than this and for me it’s definitely
in the top 3 of 2013 horrors.
8/10
