It took until after having to sit through the three execrable shorts directed by Adam Wingard for different anthology horror films for me to see You're Next, which was received with little fanfare at the box office last year, two years after its initial premiere in 2011. It took Rex Reed 15 minutes until he walked out of V/H/S/ 2 and gave the entire film a monumentally undeserved score of 0 on Metacritic, on the basis of Wingard's opening segment, 'Clinical Trials'. It's the worst of Wingard's oeuvre (that I've had the misfortune to witness), and worst of all is his frighteningly embarrassing performance as a man disturbed by visions after receiving a retinal implant. That's not even an original idea. This ranks among the worst acting performances I've seen in all my life.
