“Ada, her family and a small isolated backwoods community worship a mysterious pit. The pit has the power to heal and protect all who honor it but at a deadly price…it demands an occasional sacrifice. The pit communicates through the local potter who, while in a trance, crafts ceramic jugs that carry the face of a person to be sacrificed to the entity that lives within it. Ada has a secret about the latest Jug Face that she’s determined to keep hidden but the pit demands a sacrifice and unleashes an evil onto the community until it gets who it really wants.” READ MORE
You're Next
In ‘You’re Next’ the Davison family comes under attack from a terrifying group of sadistic murderers during a family reunion getaway. Barricaded in their secluded vacation home, they fight off a barrage of axes, crossbows and machetes from both inside and outside the house. However, the masked killers didn’t count on Erin (Vinson), the young girlfriend of the eldest Davison son whose mysterious past has made her very difficult to kill.
Official: One of the smartest and most terrifying films in years, the film reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist on home-invasion horror. When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped…until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.

5 Questions With Barbara Crampton From 'You're Next'!
So we’re finally here! You’re Next opens tomorrow, August 23rd. Actually, I think you can see it most places starting TONIGHT at 10PM. To cap off my coverage of the film, I’m posting an interview I did with Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, From Beyond) last week. Not only is she a horror icon, she’s also a fantastic actress (sometimes you don’t get both qualities at the same time) who really nails her role in the film as Aubrey, the family matriarch.
In the film out tomorrow, “When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped…until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.”

Alamo Drafthouse's Hilarious New "Don't Talk" PSA Features 'You're Next' Stars!
I hate going to movies because everyone sits on their cell phones and/or talks through the entire thing. That’s why I’m jealous of all of you close to an Alamo Drafthouse, known for their zero tolerance policy. I love them. I’d marry them if I could…
Anyways, they always have super fun “Don’t Talk” PSA videos that play before each feature, and Bloody Disgusting has your exclusive look at one featuring to stars from Adam Wingard’s You’re Next, in theaters Friday.
In the below video, Scream Queen Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, From Beyond, Castle Freak) and horror icon AJ Bowen (A Horrible Way to Die, The House of the Devil, The Signal and the forthcoming The Sacrament) tell you to shut the fuck up. Do it, or You’re Next! READ MORE

Adam Wingard And Simon Barrett On 'You're Next', 'The Guest' And Satan Himself!
As the week of release for You’re Next barrels along, I’m excited for you guys to read my interview with the film’s director Adam Wingard and its writer Simon Barrett. I’ve been covering thing movie for a while and I’ve also spoken to the pair quite a bit with regard to the V/H/S films, so I really wanted to focus on things we hadn’t talked about before. So we hurried through the streets of San Diego passing the recorder around (we were late for a SDCC panel they were moderating) talking about the film’s inception.
Then we skipped ahead a bit to discuss The Guest, which they had just started filming in New Mexico (right now they’re a little over 30 days into it). I remain optimistic that there’s some Satanic stuff going on in that movie (even though I’m likely 100% wrong) – though Wingard and Barrett dodge my potential Bob Woodword moment with admirable dexterity.

5 Reasons 'You're Next' Isn't Your Typical Home Invasion Movie!!
While some of you only became familiar with You’re Next a few weeks ago after Lionsgate’s (quite clever) marketing blitz launched, many of you have been hearing about it for years. Literally. Ever since it premiered at TIFF in 2011 and was snatched up in a bidding war there probably hasn’t been a month that’s passed where you haven’t read something about the film.
Am I guilty of this? Absolutely. I first saw the film in November of 2011 and I haven’t stopped banging the drum since. There’s a reason for this: You’re Next is my favorite horror film in years. No qualifiers needed. So while I acknowledge the perception many of you have that some “overhyping” has gone on, the truth is that this is a special movie that I (and many of my peers) felt like throwing a lot of energy into supporting simply because I know you’ll love it. You’re Next, while gory and smart, is also a “mainstream” effort in the best sense of the word – I can see it pleasing millions of people without talking down to them.
Head below for 5 Reasons You’re Next Isn’t Your Typical Home Invasion Movie!! The film hits theaters on Friday, August 23rd (and will be playing a lot of midnight shows on the 22nd)! READ MORE

Holy sh*t! It’s finally You’re Next week! The movie is finally out this Friday, August 23rd and I can’t wait for you guys to see it. To kick off my coverage I’m posting this interview I did with stars AJ Bowen (A Horrible Way To Die, The Signal, The Sacrament, Grow Up Tony Phillips) and Sharni Vinson (Patrick, Bait) last week in Los Angeles.
Since a good deal of the movie remains unspoiled by the trailers we couldn’t get too deep into surprises, but it’s a good primer for the film nonetheless.

This 'You're Next' TV Spot Uses the 'Scream' Voice
Something bad has happened in the new TV Spot for Lionsgate’s You’re Next, which carries a voice over that sounds like Ghostface in Scream. It’s actually pretty cool, and makes me wonder if this was a subliminal tactic – if it was, the marketing team is brilliant.
