Memorergi good film but with many flaws

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

johnwiltshireauthor I've had a number of people recommend this movie to me because they reckoned it would just the sort of thing I enjoy. On paper, they were right. Home invasion fought off with persistence--what's not to like? This was my second time of attempting to actually get through it because I told myself I'd not given it enough of a chance the first time around (I'd gotten to the dinner party and just curled up in a ball and died of disbelief). So, I tried it again. Got to the dinner party, ignored the stop button calling to me and stuck with it.... for another minute then watched the rest on fast forward (actually just jumping to the next bit of action). Why did I hate it so much? Firstly, where did they get these people? I won't call them actors because they weren't. My God. Wooden doesn't even begin to describe it. Then the writers. Sheesh. Have these writers actually heard anyone speak? For real? The dialogue was awful, just awful. Then there was the stereotypes. So, large family around the dinner table. One sibling is a lefty documentary maker. What was he wearing? A sort of Hezbollah scarf. One brother was a banker or something else evil, so he was in a cashmere roll neck and his wife in a frilly blouse even Mrs Thatcher would have vomited on, but the audience had to get that they were capitalists, so evil. The father made all his money... (remember wealth = greed and evil) in the arms trade. Wow. Juvenile writing. If you're going to do a home invasion movie, should you ensure that the audience actually cares about the home and the family that inhabits it? Fail.

Ada Mada Pia Or so the saying goes. This film is a perfect example of that.At first we're led to believe that the people attacking this family are masked strangers, but we soon learn that this is a money grab attempt. We have Paul and Aubrey Davison, two successful people who have done well for themselves and their children. They are kind, generous, loving folks who welcome their now grown kids as well as their significant others into their home to celebrate their wedding anniversary.Personally, the blood and gore are nowhere near as gut-wrenching (pun intended) as the premise. Children who grew up with privilege and with warm, supportive parents, yet lack their talent and charisma and are failing miserably at life. It's absolutely sickening to me that these now adult children went so far as to plan these murders ahead of time in the hopes that the police would believe the killers were random strangers so that they would inherit their parents' money.These children lack so little humanity, it's difficult to believe they weren't adopted. After they murder their sister's boyfriend and then their sister, they brutally murder their own mother in her bed while she's devastated over her daughter's death.After they take out their father, the inevitable happens: They turn on each other. Not surprising after the way these grown men behaved before the killings. Spoiled and whiny, generally unlikable people which leads me to wonder what Erin ever saw in Crispian.So we have a group of wonderful people gathered together in what is supposed to be an enjoyable family event, but they are cut down in their prime by those they trusted most. For greed. All in all, I really enjoyed this film and its deeply troubling theme that leaves you wondering who you can trust when those you love turn on you. Coupled with the extremely satisfying ending where Erin delivers some much overdue justice, I give this film an 8 out of 10. The characters are very believable and the actors did a good job in their execution (pun intended). It had enough suspense and the element of surprise to keep me on the edge of my seat and I love the complexity of the villains, instead of the cookie cutter slashers of many films in its genre. I think what gets me the most about this particular film is that there is no tragic backstory on the villains' part. No catastrophic events that brought them to this point. It's simply the deeply flawed nature of the human condition.

Naive-fox In the perfect mood for some mindless violence and some gruesome humor, a slasher always seem the obvious choice. Not being a big fan of the genre for the difficulty of making a believable film that brings a real sense of fear, I let myself be guided by the critics and reviews and finally fall for 'You're next', the umpteenth genre redefining movie.Soon I discover that I've been tricked not one, but twice by the siren voices and the empty promises of reviews as little realistic as the film they refer to. The unsavory déjà vu of the dinner scene is a clear reminder that I had seen the movie before, and for good reason not seen it through.Decided to make it to the end credits this time, I give Adam Wingard and his 'You're next' an undeserved second chance. One that would only confirm suspicion that the whole film never gets to achieve a sense of continuity and real threat. What should have -given by how the story unfolds- been a cold blooded, efficient mass murder ends up as some senseless one on one assassinations even amidst the crowd within the mansion. Even the foreseeable plot "twist" mid-film does nothing but kill the little suspense and tension the previous footage had managed to grow.But ultimately, it is the complete absurdity in every character's actions that kills the little effect the film could have produced. From characters standing alone on a room with a corpse even after everyone has left and running out in panic seconds later only to get easily killed; to people standing carelessly right in front of windows or opened doors just minutes after being the target of a hail of crossbow bolts; all through the real and genuine Crocodile Dundee of the film, the expert in survival who goes locking downstairs glass windows - some of them already broken- to prevent bad guys from entering or leaves the axe of an assaulter on the carpet because it's always a wiser idea to defend oneself with a screwdriver.Not only does 'You're next' not revive the slasher genre, but systematically repeats all the big mistakes that make most flicks of the kind dull and repetitive, offering nothing but a bunch of histrionic deaths and a story that lacks both backbone and a smooth skin.

Iuri Moraes de Oliveira OK, I don't know what is going on, why are people giving this good rating? I think this was the worst home invasion movie I've ever watched. The only explanation that I can think of is that it was supposed to be bad and I didn't get the point of the movie, I don't know, maybe someone can clarify it to me... I'm shocked, really. I think I can have this movie on my top 10 worst horror movies of all time, seriously. I swear I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, I'm just totally confused. I almost couldn't watch it to the end because it was soooooooooooo awful in every aspect, from the first second to the last. Maybe the only reasonable thing was the gore effects, they were fine, but that's it.
