Home invasion films offer, in my opinion, some of the scariest and suspenseful experiences in the “horror” movie genre. Movies like THE STRANGERS are terrifying because it represents real-world threats. Freddy Krueger? Jason? Michael Myers? These are supernatural threats and therefore not scary. What I love is a movie that can use real life threats to scare the bejeezus out of me, and that’s why I am looking forward to Adam Wingard’s upcoming film, YOU’RE NEXT.
I simply cannot wait for this one. It looks tense, scary and promises a nice little twist to the home-invasion genre. Oh yeah, there’s also those creepy masks……
So check out the first trailer below and let us know what you think. Do you think this one will be a winner or a stinker?
YOU’RE NEXT is directed by Adam Wingard and stars Sharni Vinson, AJ Bowen, Nick Tucci, Wendy Glenn, Joe Swanberg, Rob Moran, Barbara Crampton, Maragaret Laney, Amy Seimetz, Ti West, Larry Fessenden, Lane Hughes, L.C. Holt, Simon Barrett and Calvin Reeder.
SYNOPSIS: One of the smartest and most terrifying films in years, “You’re Next” reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist on home-invasion horror. When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped…until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.
YOU’RE NEXT is set to hit theaters on August 23, 2013.
