Review of You're Next (2013) by Foxgrove — 02 Sep 2013
For lovers of the genre this is a superior horror with a great twist. High on blood and gore, some of which is excrutiatingly felt, and with plenty of jumpy moments to keep any true horror fan ghoulishly happy.
In the expectant first hour the tension is palpable and exacerbated by the use of hand held camera which is highly effective in enveloping us as events start to unfold for the unfortunate family under attack.
Things dip ever so slightly when the culprits are unmasked (literally) and the reason for the mayhem is revealed, but the film still remain lively and tense. Towards the end some revelations and plot points are predictably signposted in advance, but the last scene raises a deliciously inappropriate chuckle.
