We are one week shy of the release of You’re Next, and I can’t
fucking wait! Adam Wingard has appeared to thoroughly outdo himself as I have
yet to read a single bad review for the latest addition to the home invasion
genre. Wingard has a long line of hits already under his belt such as Pop
Skull, segments in V/H/S and V/H/S/2, and he’s currently filming his next project;
one that he wrote with Simon Barrett.
I love, love, love home invasion horror films. They play on
many different psychological fears; fears of things that could actually happen. While zombies and vampires may be terrifying
in a fantastical sense, in the back of all of our minds we know that all it
would take is one open window or unlocked door for all hell to break loose in
the place where we feel safest. This is horror at its finest for me, so in
honor of the release of You’re Next, it’s home invasion celebration
week on Lovecraft Reviews and I’ll be kicking it off with 10 films that feature
home invasions and/or the victims rising up to kick ass and take names!
Read on, and check out inside the break!
