“You’re Next” Smarter Slasher Horror – Film Review

[EileenCruz]

You’re Next is an energetic, fun, somewhat smarter than average slasher horror film with delightfully dark humor in the vein of the Evil Dead films. It’s one of those movies that you’ll want to see in a theater with a great audience.
In You’re Next, the Davison family is attacked by home invaders during a family reunion celebrating the 35th anniversary of the clan’s matriarch and patriarch.

I've watched it four times and continue to like it more and more each time, making it unquestionably one of my favorite movies in AGES.

But it's unclear why she ever dated that guy. I loved the sound design and score.

Also this song is epic!
