Lack of good storyline.
... View MoreA lot of fun.

... View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
... View MoreThis movie really deserves a 7 or more rating IMO. You have to rate movies for what they are. This isn't supposed to be Oscar bait, it's a slasher horror movie, and it does that very well. The plot is good, and not really what you're expecting if you go in blind. I LOVE seeing a strong female lead and this movie has an excellent one. Sharni Vinson does a great job and should be an example to people, especially smaller and weaker people, that they don't have to be helpless victims if they will prepare themselves and learn some self defense and survival skills. Too many people walk through life with the "it won't happen to me" attitude and think somehow their cell phone and a cop that is 15+ minutes away is somehow going to save them from a crazy person with a weapon. No, you need to learn how to handle yourself because the chances anyone will get to you in time are slim to none. Of course, this movie probably would have been quite short if only the dad had a gun, but that's a discussion for another day and another place. Check this movie out if you like slashers, horror, thrillers, and especially if you enjoy seeing a smart, attractive lady take on some criminals. Don't walk through life unprepared. You shouldn't rely on other people or a cell phone to save you.
... View More7 1/2"You're next" is unexpectedly good, switching from the classic home invasion thriller to (kind of) a black comedy, when we get to a sort of caricature of most of the characters, but does well in both cases. Some of the twists were a little predictable, but there are so many in it that it definitely cannot be counted as a major flaw.
... View MoreIt's an OK movie... a bit comical almost... They never explained why the Erin character had an Australian accent... And also her shouting 'go! go! go!' in her Australian accent during the family dinner dart-attack was hilarious... The film was a bit dark in general. I mean the lighting. I had to turn up the brightness on my display.
... View MorePROS: Something that YOU'RE NEXT did very well was set up an environment that was unique. You could really appreciate the way the characters interacted in this particular setting. For example, if you saw the same characters with the same plot in a different setting everything would have changed. This is cool because it shows the characters are dynamic and that this setting was the right choice because other settings would have given different endings that might not have been as interesting as this ones. To add on, the actors in this film were good in some aspects, and poor in others, like the way the characters interacted was genuine. This allows for the plot to become more seamless. With actors that feel real it allows for miss ups in the plot to be looked over because real people make mistakes.CONS: Lets continue with the acting. The downfall with some of the acting was with specific actors. I would say one in every three actors were not too good. Another thing that was frustrating was the ending of this movie. It had a good ending with a good connection to the rest of the film, however, it was very long and began to get boring. The audience understood what was happening within the first thirty seconds of dialogue, the finale lasted roughly 5 minutes and that took away from the suspense factor of the resolution. The rising action was great in this movie, but the movie needed either a climax that was less comedic, or a falling action to be more condensed. Other than that I recommend this film, and thanks for reading.www.chorror.com
