Adam Wingard’s ‘You’re Next’ breaks its way into homes on the 13th January when the brutal home invasion horror hits DVD and Blu-ray in the UK. The talented Australian actress Sharni Vinson has already showed off her dance moves in ‘Step Up 3D’, her surfing talents in wipe out sequel ‘Blue Crush 2’ and even her shark dodging skills in Kimble Rendall’s Aussie horror ‘Bait’ alongside fellow Australian actor Xavier Samuel. But in ‘You’re Next’ the 30-year old star shows us her talent for survival when she is pitted against a house full of masked strangers intent on harming everyone in sight.
The Davison’s family reunion meets a bloody end when a scrawled warning ‘YOU’RE NEXT’ alerts them of a sudden change in their evening plans. A gang of masked axe-wielding murderers are armed and ready to attack but they’ve picked the wrong family to target.
Sharni’s character Erin is by no means the first fully empowered lady to take on the seemingly unstoppable forces of an invading evil as past heroines of home invasion horror have proven. But it is safe to say that in ‘You’re Next’ our female lead surprises everyone with what she is capable of doing to help her and her newly acquired family survive.
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 Welcome to the home of horror. It arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on 13th January.
