Okay cool more people are here. Now when I saw this was so blown by how the family went about things I was yelling at the screen. Yes, I yelled at the screen 'Don't do it!!' Like 59 times until the killer & their motive was revealed. What I enjoyed most about the movie was how the girl was very creative & smart. Like the things she used had me like 
. She was in some straight Home Alone level stuff. And like I said in my OP, sending the daighter to run across the lawn cause she was the fastest runner 
like the killers wouldnt have thought of someone trying to run out the front door... But that trick wire!!
Talk about unexpected!! I bursted out laughing at the movies. I had to bury my face in my date's chest.

The trip wire caught me off guard. For some reason I didn't see it coming. I figured she'd get an arrow through the eye or get shot or someone with a knife would be there

That was after. Those scenes damn near happened back to back
Smh... Goofy asses...lol
Roger Ebert said something about horror movies that we should all remember when watching them: the characters have to be a tad stupid and not entirely based in reality because if they weren't, there wouldn't be a movie to watch
Now that doesn't mean we can't say they're stupid or yell at the screen not to do stupid stuff but we can't hold that against the movie when we critique it. That's like critiquing an action movie for its heroes resorting to violence instead of diplomacy
I liked the aesthetics of YOU'RE NEXT from those creepy as fukk masks to the look of the filming style. The director also was really good at building tension and at shooting the action scenes. This was most on display in the really cool opening murder scene.
The movie also created a worthy addition to the ranks of horror movie Final Girls in Sharni Vinson's Erin.
And the horror geek in me really appreciated the casting of Barbara Crampton as the matriarch of the doomed Davison clan.
Speaking of the Davison family, they were pretty much all awful characters which lessened my enjoyment a bit because I like to root for victims in horror movies and I spent the majority of this movie cheering for the bad guys. Also the reasoning behind the murders was really pedestrian and ho-hum.
I give You're Next 2 Roger Eberts.

2 out of what? 4 or 5?
I rate in a 4 Ebert scale.
I really liked the opening & how the victims were used to send off the family. When in1st saw it I missed the scene so it went over my head. But re watching it on Netflix put it together so perfectly. 
The score for the movie should get some props too. Definitely added to it never took away from it and used a lot of synth which I always love in a horror movie
