We always hear about Hollywood cutting films to follow the classic Hollywood format, but has it ever worked? Sources tell me that the Hollywood cut for ‘You’re Next’ works! After viewing many blog posts, news articles, and various other media sources, regarding ‘You’re Next’ (Horror-Slasher-Psychological Thriller), I would agree that the movie only gets better as most of the cast has been butchered (what does that say about the acting?). I think it is mainly because the director Adam Wingard initially ended the movie by portraying the antagonists’ in a lovable-merry light.
The video clip posted here (from ‘You’re Next’) does not give away the ending by any means, but after viewing it you will get the general idea of the direction the film was headed before the Hollywood executives cut the film. This may be the first instance where a film cut by Hollywood executives was actually better off after the cuts were made. Sources, less reputable and more dishonest share details that lead to this author to believe that the horror-slasher flick ‘You’re Next’ was originally meant to be rated PG-13.
This is footage you will NOT see at: Chicago Daily Herald, National Post, USA Today, Seattle Times, LA Weekly, The Olympian, New York Times, Vancouver Sun, and many more!
(mainly because it’s not real)
