You're Next (2011 90mins.) [Film4 1.25am tuesday &+1]
A family gathers for an awkward reunion that brings old tensions back to the surface. The evening takes a nightmarish turn when their remote country house is besieged by a gang of masked, crossbow-wielding strangers intent on murdering everyone inside.
Horror, starring Sharni Vinson and Nicholas Tucci.
Smart little home invaison horror/thriller that owes a huge debt to John Carpenter's Assault On Precinct 13 but has enough invention and style to stand on it's own feet and as a worthwhile contribution to this crowded sub-genre.
Joe Swanberg stands out among the ensemble cast and Adam Wingard's direction is fluid and skillful suggesting that he will become a name to watch in the very near future.
Slick and suspenseful with a nice streak of dark humour running through it. Worthwhile.
