When the Davison family comes under attack during their wedding anniversary getaway, the gang of mysterious killers soon learns that one of the victims harbors a secret talent for fighting back.
A family reunion turns into a full-on massacre when a gang of masked killers invade a sprawling country mansion on a ruthless mission of murder.

Watch the movie You're Next because of one character
You're Next is your basic break-in horror film. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this movie even though the characters were rather basic throughout, with one huge exception.
If you see this movie, see it for the character named Erin, played by Sharni Vinson. She makes this movie. Without her this would be just an average film. Unlike so many horror films where female characters scream and do absurd things because they are terrified out of their minds, Erin takes a survival leadership approach. You're Next would be just an average film without Erin.
Without a doubt a different take on the female character within a horror film. And that is why I recommend seeing this movie.
