Paul finds sleeping bags, food wrappers, and bottles of urine in the closet, indicating that the killers have been hiding out in the house for some time.

While setting up nail traps, Erin explains to Zee that she grew up in a survivalist compound, where she learned combat and survival skills.

Realizing she cannot outrun Fox with a wounded leg, she sets a trap at the front door where an ax would fall and kill anyone who opens it.

[13][14] The film was part of the competition during the 20th edition of the international festival of fantastic movies at Gerardmer (France) in February 2013, and it won the Syfy prize of the event.

The site's critical consensus states, "You're Next's energetic and effective mix of brutal gore and pitch black humor will please horror buffs and beyond.

[19] Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B+, praising "Wingard's canny knack for leavening his characters' gory demises with sick laughs and clever Rube Goldberg twists (razor-sharp piano wire hasn't been used this well since 1999's Audition).

[20] R. Kurt Osenlund of Slant Magazine gave the film 4 stars, stating that it "brazenly merges the home-invasion thriller with the dysfunctional family dramedy".

[21] Joshua Rothkopf (Time Out New York) called the film "solidly satisfying" and a "minor triumph", though adding that it was, in general, unoriginal.

[23] Barbara VanDenburgh (Arizona Republic) gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars, stating that it was not "very scary" and that its "budget for red food coloring was no doubt higher than the one for script doctoring"; although she complimented the score and "gruesome" conclusion.

And if the central plot twist isn't all that clever, at least the movie offers some motivation for its mayhem",[25] while Jane Horwitz wrote for the same newspaper: "For slasher/horror fans 17 and older, You're Next may provide sufficient homicidal entertainment".

[30] Stephen Whitty of The Newark Star-Ledger, in a review for The Portland Oregonian, gave the film a C+ rating, agreeing it was unoriginal and uninventive, comparing it to The Purge and The Last House on the Left.

[32] Total Film placed Erin (Sharni Vinson) at number one on their list of "50 Most Bad-Ass Female Horror Leads".
