You're Next - Checked this out because it was by the director of The Guest and I was quite pleasantly surprised by what he did with what I thought was a pretty hackneyed horror premise (family under siege by malicious, murderous home invaders). After seeing this Adam Wingard is definitely on my radar as a hidden gem of a horror auteur! What really makes this one work is the interactions between the bourgeois family under siege from the scary animal mask people, before the action starts the battle lines are drawn and you know exactly who hates who and how much. The petty bickering of the family is genuinely funny and entertaining and likely could have sustained a movie by itself, the obnoxious successful brother is particularly good. The family rivalries are worked into the larger plot and themes well, and the various turns in the plot proceed logically from there. Though Erin's backstory is a bit of a contrived way to frame her as a more lethal Kevin McCallister she makes an effective protagonist as an audience cipher, being the character most divorced from the family's internal politics. The invaders work well enough as antagonists, though they are prone to superhuman horror movie contrivances at time. Great gore effects and kills, the way the violence invades the idyllic bourgeois space and quickly turns it from an oasis of upper middle class tranquility to an abattoir is genuinely rattling, especially as the film progresses and the violence becomes more reciprocal and is often inflicted by these upper class creature comforts. And between all this weighty thematic stuff is tightly plotted suspense that will have you constantly doing a mental inventory of where you last saw one of the bad guys and where they might be lurking next in the house, the geography of which is very well thought out and creates a great sense of place and space for you to imagine horrible things jumping out of the shadows from. Great fun! ***1/2 out of ****
i picked up a few DVDs at a local used DVD store, I got Ju-on (the grudge), Let the right one in, and Stephen King's IT (i was initially looking for It Follows but it was gone) discuss
I like that type of 90s cheese, I want to get all those Stephen King movies, like Thinner and Pet Sematary, rofl. .. I like listening to the commentary tracks as well, you learn shit about the movies you didn't know before.
Pennywise was pretty creepy btw
