The movie: You’re Next

The guest: Co-host of Hammer films podcast Hammertime Horror, Tom Stuart

Among the topics we get into:

• playing with the conventions of the slasher genre
• the movie’s transition from horror movie into a “fantasy of competence”
• protagonist Erin as the unconventional final girl
• the film’s unearned reputation as a feminist slasher movie
• the human relationship with violence
