Adam Wingard crafts an effectively scary and sickly funny home invasion thriller with the ominously titled You're Next.
It's not particularly original or groundbreaking but Wingard and his cast & crew are obviously very dedicated and enthusiastic about the material, making it that much more brutally enjoyable. Through all the killing and off-color blood is a tale about family dysfunction and inane materialism that has you rooting for the masked killers to do their thing to the collection of douches. I love the kitschy music but unfortunately it is really distracting in the film itself. All in all, a delightfully sick & twisted slaughterfest that knows what it is and never tries to be smarter than it should.
