Where to Watch

You’re Next is a traditional slasher flick–people in isolated location face murderous masked men. Because I watch too many movies, I was not surprised who emerged to fight against the threat, but that bit of predictability made me enjoy You’re Next more as the masked killers start to face a formidable foe. Actually I waited excitedly for each opportunity for the tables to be turned and cheered appropriately during each confrontation. The score in the last twenty minutes of You’re Next is positively John Carpenteresque and 70slicious! If you are like me and prefer slasher flicks that feature people who do evil things for no reason, then there will be a point when You’re Next suddenly falls from awesome to adequate, but disappointingly logical. I was hoping for The Strangers or Ils/French, but alas, no such luck. Still for traditional 70s slasher fans, You’re Next is worth a look.
