You’re Next

 
photo for You're Next A fresh twist on the home-invasion horror film. A family reunion at a remote weekend estate turns nasty when the house comes under siege by a mask-wearing team of crossbow-bearing assailants — who quickly dispatch half of the 10 people on hand. The family has no idea who’s attacking them or why they’re under attack — and when it seems that the remaining family members will all meet the same horrible fate, one unlikely member turns the tables and fights back against the villains. The action is fast-paced and gruesome — and there’s a great twist about three-quarters of the way through. A highly effective and fairly well acted scarer. Extras: “No Ordinary Home Invasion: The Making of You’re Next” featurette; commentary with director Adam Wingard, writer Simon Barrett and actors Sharni Vinson and Barbara Crampton; commentary with Wingard and Barrett. Vitals: Director: Adam Wingard.
