Why Is It When Someone Says "YOU'RE NEXT" It's never a Good Thing?

While I was at the movies, we watched several trailers. When the trailer for "YOU'RE NEXT" came on, I leaned over to my husband and said, "You know that whole family is going to die, right?" He gave me an odd look, but when it was over he said, "How did you know?" (We'd never heard anything about the movie, and the movie we'd come to watch wasn't a horror flick at all). I told him, "Any time someone says, 'You're next', it's NEVER good."

Think about it. When have you heard that phrase and had something awesome happen? I can't think of a thing. Images that come to mind are: murder (like the movie), the dentist, the gynecologist, the DMV, the metal detector at the airport....things like that. I don't think of ice cream cones or hot air balloon rides. But maybe that's just me. Even though the movie YOU'RE NEXT has some pretty high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, it's not on my list of movies to see. I'm a wimp. But I will say, I wish just once someone would say, "You, over there! You're next!" and then they hand me a chocolate cookie or like a million bucks. That would be nice. Maybe then, I'll have a much better feeling about the two words YOU'RE NEXT.

Great point! That phrase is right up there with, "We need to talk," as my least favorite sentences ever. Ha!

I actually went to go see this in theaters and I loved it. But then, these sorts of movies are my favorites-the ones where a bunch of people die.
