Taut, tight and consistently funny home invasion thriller. “A refreshingly breathless horror/thriller that feels like the wise-assed love-child of The Big Chill, Murder By Death, and Friday the 13th.” — FEARnet
Adam Wingard is carving out a reputation as one of the most imaginative and visually sophisticated directors working in modern horror.
Screened as part of NZIFF 2013
You're Next 2011
From Adam Wingard, the devilish director responsible for indie faves Popskull, A Horrible Way to Die and the freaky anthologies V/H/S and V/H/S/2, comes a very funny and very scary film that has elevated his career to the next level. At first glance You’re Next sounds like the type of horror film you've seen numerous times before but, as The Cabin in the Woods proved, a director can have a hell of a lot of fun with jaded horror fans who think they already know every rhythm and beat of the genre. For the best experience, I highly recommend not watching the trailer or reading any of the great reviews. Bring an unsuspecting date and watch their popcorn fly when the film kicks in. — Ant Timpson “The horror is horrific. The blood laid on thick. Every jump works. And yet this thing is also laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish… Wingard is a director that can kick a mainstream audience’s ass and make them fall in love with the experience.” — Todd Brown, Twitch
