What You Need To Know:

In YOU’RE NEXT, a middle-aged but good-looking couple invites their three sons and daughter, and their friends, to celebrate their wedding anniversary. As the family sits down to dinner, two brothers start to argue. Then, a masked man outside the cabin starts shooting at them with a crossbow. Everything goes downhill from there as the survivors discover that there are two other killers, one of whom is sneaking around inside the two-story cabin. The girlfriend of one of the sons comes from a survivalist family. Her skills help turn the table on the killers, but the killers are actually part of a plot to inherit the family fortune. More violent chaos ensues.

YOU’RE NEXT has a unique story with many chances for some suspenseful, exciting moments. However, there’s too much gruesome violence. The violence goes way over the top when the heroine takes a blender to the head of one would-be killer and accidentally kills another person. YOU’RE NEXT also has plenty of strong foul language and brief nudity. Ultimately, it makes for a distasteful, abhorrent time at the movie house.

More Detail:

YOU’RE NEXT has some interesting suspenseful moments, but eventually gets bogged down with too much graphic violence. The heroine’s battle against some vicious killers becomes so vicious and distasteful that it goes over the edge into MOVIEGUIDE®’s abhorrent category.

In the story, a middle-aged but good-looking couple invites their three sons and daughter, along with their girlfriends/spouse and boyfriend, to celebrate their wedding anniversary. As the family sits down to dinner, two brothers start to argue. Then, a masked man outside their family cabin starts shooting at them with a crossbow. Everything goes downhill from there as the survivors discover that there are two other killers, one of whom is sneaking around inside the two-story cabin, or lodge. The girlfriend of one of the sons happens to come from a survivalist family. Her skills begin to turn the table on the killers, but the killers are actually part of a plot by a family member to kill off the parents and the rest of the rivals to the family fortune. More violent chaos ensues.

YOU’RE NEXT has a unique story that offers many chances for some suspenseful, exciting moments. However, there’s too much gruesome violence. The violence becomes way over the top when the heroine takes a blender to the head of one of the would-be killers. Also, an innocent person gets gruesomely trapped and killed by one of the mechanisms the heroine sets up to fight the bad guys.

YOU’RE NEXT also has plenty of strong foul language and brief nudity. Ultimately, it makes for a pretty distasteful, abhorrent time at the movie house.
