You're Next Review 6/10


 I heard a few good things about this movie and having not watched a
horror film in quite some time I thought I would give this a shot. It
won't win any awards for the acting or the story but it did its job.
It's a slasher film with a sense of realism along with clever kills
that I enjoyed watching and laughed at.

The first 20 minutes or so are a bit boring as we are introduced to all
the characters. Most of them aren't very likable so when the killing
actually begins the movie becomes much more entertaining. You almost
root for them to be killed, but the one savior is the main character
Erin who we do like. When the chaos begins, she takes charge and tries
to help everyone.

There is a couple of "twists" that weren't terribly hard to figure out.
What I did like was that at a few different points, the masked killers
get tired and need to take a breather. Most slasher films it seems the
bad guy never gets tired. It made the movie more realistic and had a
sense of humor so to speak.

Look past some mediocre acting and enjoy the kills. The one at the end
was my favorite, had to do with a blender but it's not what you think.
I enjoyed the movie for what it was, a solid 6/10
