Given its title, you can be forgiven for assuming that Adam Wingard's home-invasion thriller will be just another blood-soaked body-count flick. But You're Next is better than that. A lot better.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
By slasher standards, the writing is good, with interesting turns and surprises. And the acting isn't bad, either, though Vinson is the one to remember.
Fairly routine brunette-fighting-for-survival stuff with a liberal dose of dark humour.
Home invasion thrillers seem to come along every five minutes... Kudos then to indie director Adam Wingard for kicking in with some fresh ideas.
Maybe, in another time and place, and with different actors and a better director, it might have worked. But this thing collapses right from the get-go.
