You’re Next (2013)





The wealthy but estranged Davison family reunites at their vacation home in the country to celebrate mom and dad's anniversary.  During what turns out to be their last supper, they find themselves under attack by crossbow and machete-wielding assailants donning tiger, fox and lamb masks.  Much to their chagrin, Crispian Davison's girlfriend Erin grew up on a survivalist's compound and can kick ass like no other!  As the attendance for the will reading dwindles, the tide turns and Erin takes out the attackers as well as conspiring brothers Crispian and Felix, who arranged the whole thing for the inheritance money.

The title of Adam Wingard's home invasion movie left expectations of a cheesy, derivative slasher flick.  But if you can look past one of the most convenient plot points ever, it's actually a well done film with a nice mix of tension, gore and even a few laughs.  Sharni Vinson's Erin is a heroine audiences can get behind.  You're Next was actually filmed in 2011 and premiered at the Toronto Film Festival later that year before a wide release in 2013.

Thanks to the scene when Erin goes for milk, I was able to track down the house from the shot of the address near the front door.  Funny how it's on Fox Lane as one of the attackers wears a fox mask...
