Woolf + Lapin at Late Night Screening of YOU’RE NEXT

This is an image by director Adam Wingard for his film You’re Next, which was part of TIFF’s Midnight Madness programme.

For the 1,200 or so horror aficionados gathered at Ryerson for last night’s late screening, there is no doubt the film had all it needed to please. The film was immense fun. And Sharni Vinson is stellar as she is forced into survival mode, the minute the first arrow flies through the window. This is great home invasion fare. It’s brilliantly funny and action packed. Wingard’s film is quite stylized. And writer Simon Barrett’s script rounds off some very cool, idiosyncratic characters before sending them to their deaths at the hands of a gang of killers in animal masks, armed with machetes, axes and a crossbow, who begin to hunt the family down with brutal precision.

Animals this Toronto crowd!

Must see.
