Writer Simon Barrett and Co-Star Joe Swanberg in Attendance for a Post-Film Q&A
Set to a catchy New Wave beat, You’re Next brought the indie-horror revival of the late ‘00s and early ‘10s to its bloody, thrilling climax. A legendary festival title that built major buzz in the two years between its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and its eventual theatrical release, the film stars a murderer’s row (no pun intended) of independent filmmakers like Joe Swanberg, Amy Seimetz, and Ti West, alongside ‘80s horror legend Barbara Crampton in the role that revived her career. But it was Australian newcomer Sharni Vinson who stole the show, playing a rugged survivalist who turns the tables on a gang of wealthy weirdos when they try to set her up at a family reunion. You’ll never look at a blender the same way again.
