You're Next (2011)

I have been waiting a while to do this one, but here it finally is and it's thanks to my friend Matt for making the request.

You're next is simply about a family who have gathered for their parents 35th wedding anniversary. But to their misfortune, they are targeted by a group of bandits who start killing off each family member one by one.

Directed by Adam Wingard, written by Simon Barrett, starring Sharni Vinson, Nicholas Tucci, Wendy Glenn, A.J. Bowen and Joe Swanberg.

Now, I am not going to give any more detail about this movie as I do not wish to ruin any part of this film for anybody. Instead I will give you a list of why you should watch this movie for yourselves.

Right from the start you get all you need to create a perfect slasher film, just like they used to make back in the 80's. The music on queue, the "no cell reception" aspect was done in the most intelligent way possible, with full explanation to boot.

Add in your necessary soft core nudity, simple reason why the killings are taking place, some pretty good acting, a whole hell of a lot of well done gore filled scenes and you have yourself an excellent homage to the 80's that's sure to please any fan of old school slasher flicks.

Predictability was the only problem I had with this film, but it gave it the full slasher movie effect and I can respect that.

Now with all that being said I have to easily give this beauty a 9 out of 10. If you think that it's higher than it should be, that just means you aren't a real slasher fan!

Thanks for reading and I would once again like to thank Matt G. for the excellent request. Feel free to comment, e-mail (horrorshootreviews@gmail.com) or follow us on twitter @horrorshoot!
