You´re Next Review

Going into You´re Next I was expecting a regular home invasion horror film. As the movie started I noticed that this wasn´t going that route. The film was actually filled with black comedy blended with horror, and it worked pretty well. So if you go into this movie expecting a scary horror movie you will be dissapointed. This movie isnt supposed to be serious, and the tone of the film completely reflects this.

The bad thing about this movie is the first half. The acting was terrible, and it felt completely cliché. It was just a bunch of people getting killed and that was about it. Suddenly, the second half starts and the plot actually becomes alot better, and we are left with the most kick ass female protagonist ever. We get to see her set up very smart and cool traps throughout the house, and I really started to enjoy the hell out of this movie. The girl could easily beat any guy up, and I liked that they explained how she learned all of this. There are a couple of very awesome kills too, and the ending was (for my twisted mind) awesome.

You´re Next may have horrible acting, and may feel very cliche at first, but once the second half kicks in you will really enjoy this movie. Lots of dark humor, some awesome kills, very smart script, and an awesome female protagonist that really holds her own make this a very entertaining movie (after the first 45 minutes).

I´m giving You´re Next 3/5
