Inventive Spin on Home Invasion

I had been hearing hype about 'You're Next' for almost two years and now I have seen it for myself. While I don't think every bit of the film is praise worthy, I do think that many parts of it are. Once you bear through the initial been-there-done-that set up, complete with a few lame actors, the movie kicks into high gear after the first kill. From then on it becomes a bloody opus of survivalism and heroism. At about halfway in, a cool twist is revealed and I wasn't all to sure how the plot was going to unfold. There's a handful of 'gotcha' moments and some really creative scenarios/kills. Some of these moments made me gasp, laugh, or raise my fist in an approving manner. It's the kind of movie that literally improves with each minute of screen time. The experience is best left unspoiled, so I'll just say that I recommend all horror fans, and non-fans, give 'You're Next' a watch. It's just plain fun.
