You're Next (2011)

  I had intended to watch this last year for my 31 Days of Horror but it just missed the cut.  It's a damn shame too because this is a great slasher film, much better than The Strangers.

Erin (Sharni Vinson) is meeting her boyfriend's (AJ Bowen) family for the first time, which is a lot of pressure, especially when masked killers are targeting them.  Erin has to break out all the survival skills she learned growing up in the Outback to try and keep this dysfunctional family from being picked off one by one.

Honestly, this character is one of my favorite "final girls" ever.  Every time she Home-Alone'd some trap to fuck up the killers, my heart grew two sizes.  The ending is a little weak but still one of my favorite horror films of this year.  Unfortunately, the only place it is streaming is Tubi, which means ads, but the breaks aren't as jarring as they could have been.  Hopefully, these posts are getting you in the mood for Fall, and Halloween, and spooky things that go bump in the night.
