‘You’re Next’ Trailer: You’re Going To Reap Just What You Sow

By Russ Fischer/March 28, 2013 10:34 am EST

Director Adam Wingard (A Horrible Way to Die, V/H/S) and screenwriter Simon Barrett (A Horrible Way to Die) have come up with a great spin on the hoary old home invasion movie, and populated it with a cast that is ready get dirty and bloody. Indie and genre faves (Sharni Vinson, AJ Bowen, Barbara Crampton, Amy Seimetz) and filmmakers (Joe Swanberg, Ti West) play members of a large family who come together for a celebration dinner at a relatively remote home in the country. The clan quickly finds that it has been targeted by masked assailants who have staked out the house with very violent intent.

For those who have become wary about spoilers in trailers for horror films, you don’t have much to worry about here. This trailer will show you one death, but gives a great impression of the film’s energy, violence, and sense of menace without spilling details better left to the movie itself.

You’re Next opens on August 23. Apple has the trailer.
