Horror. Thriller You're Next reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist on home-invasion horror. When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped... until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all. A Lionsgate and Snoot Films presentation in association with Hanway Films.

	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"'You’re Next' is fairly light on psychological and narrative complexity, but it’s still a good cut above the slasher norm, with a firm grasp on visceral action"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"The filmmakers have crafted seriously derivative fun that plays like 'Scream' molded with 'Cabin Fever' in the twisted universe of 'Final Destination'. It's a familiar ride, but a relentlessly wild one as well"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"In the absence of sympathetic characters, a little humor would have gone a long way here"	NEU
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"Surprisingly adept mixture of tones — naturalism, dysfunctional family satire, winking slasher nostalgia, twisty vengeance thriller"	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Adam Wingard’s 'You’re Next' strays just enough from formula to tweak our jaded appetites. That it does so without spraying the gore to geyserlike excess says a great deal about Mr. Wingard’s sensibility"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The surprise is how effective Wingard is at keeping the atmosphere jumpy and tense (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
