Film Review: You're Next (18), (U.S.A. 2011) (Director: Adam Wingard), Saturday 14.09.2013 23:00, The Cameo Cinema, Screen Three, Edinburgh

This is a horror film that centres upon a family reunion, that becomes attached by several people wearing animal masks. It is largely a slasher film with a few genuine jolts and surprises. The surprises are not that surprising in retrospect, though still the story development is well managed and the deaths are suitably gruesome. 

I found the film enjoyable, though I have one grumble. The trailer uses Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' which then has not part in the film. I find this practice of uses elements in advertising that are not related to the film to be misleading and unnecessary. 

I suspect this is a film that many horror fans will enjoy, though it is not for the weak of stomach. 

Rating: 07/10.
