Review of You're Next (2013) by Spangle — 10 Feb 2016

You're Next is not particularly scary and any fear it creates is somewhat diminished by the end of the film when you realize what all is happening, but it is still a really fun horror comedy blend that does provide some scares.

The acting is pretty solid and the special effects (read: blood) are solid as well. Overall, it does a really good job creating tension and a scary atmosphere thanks to the good direction from Adam Wingard.

Plus, the writing really works for the film and it does some fun things with classic horror cliches, even if it largely holds to many of them throughout. As an overall film, You're Next is nothing extraordinary, but it is a fun way to spend an hour and a half if you like horror movies and pitch black humor.
