I went to the cinema on Sunday to see You're Next with absolutely no knowledge of what it was about or expectations as to its qualities (or otherwise).
From the opening section I thought it was going to be a tense and brutal home invasion film but it then became a little confusing as there were some lines which seemed funny and I didn't know whether I was supposed to be laughing or not. Some of the violence was also comical but, again, I didn't know whether this was intentional or not and whether I was watching a horror film or a horror-comedy.
Some of the acting and writing was atrocious but I still enjoyed it for what it was, even though that may not have been in the way the director intended.
