Heard a lot about the central message of this movie which succeeded to focus on the message even though more like another horrific home invasion film.

This movie was super tense from beginning to end. Even in the beginning when people are casually sharpening machetes like they preparing for a backyard BBQ instead of a night of killing, or even the way the neighbor brings over cookies but…

This movie was kinda crazy, but it wasn't bad. I like the theme behind the Purge franchise. I do
recommend watching the screenwriter's (he has also directed 2 or 3 of the other Purge films
and is active with the Purge tv series)…

It’s more of a horror than a dystopia. Interesting concept. But the villains in the movie were unrealistic. No person with a grain of sense would risk their life to purge (murder). Once it became obvious that the family was going to fight…

This is a pretty good show! The start was pretty exciting besides the fact that this would be pretty much impossible to happen. The movie was exciting at the start because you thought that lots of action would happen. The problem was that…

Pretty good. I wouldn't consider this a horror movie. But it certainly did a good job keeping the movie intense. It really doe's scare you, can you imagine if the plot of the movie was real?

Sometimes it's crappy pop movies that seem to capture the zeitgeist, and "The Purge" trilogy (Look for the 4th next year!) has somehow done so. "Black-ish" even had an episode inspired by it. It's a semi-decent premise, which perhaps goes…

The Purge is a heart-stopping, perfectly scripted, and must watch for people less sensitive to horror and violence. The Purge is set on a philosophy that by allowing all crimes for 12 hours the United States can release its violence in one…

I’m glad I watched the 3rd part of this trilogy first. The 1st part then made more sense and I look forward to watching the 2nd part. The general idea was that “Purge Night” encouraged the right/white/male citizens to declare war on those…

Watchable but idiotic in story and events.

I thought the movie would be different. The idea is original. Ethan Hawke did good in this movie, (he did all the work). The rest of his family was not likeable and his wife's cheap Halloween wig was distracting. The movie did have some…

i love the premise of this movie. I think it makes a slight political statement and does not flaunt it in your face. I'm also getting to really like Ethan Hawke in "horror" films. I think his intensity is exactly what is needed. Yes, there…

The Purge makes no bones about it. It is what it is, and doesnt pretend to be anything but. Yes the plot of the story is a smidge far fetched, however given the amount of jump scares, an often utilzed format in today's horror films, it…

Kev's PICkS : For an fun-filled Home Invasion double-header, see this film together with "You're Next".
Invite friends over and have popcorn (but skip the pizza) for this brighter-than-average double gorefest.

Ah, horror films of the twenty-first century, how I loathe thee. My initial expectations for THE PURGE boiled down to nothing but 90 minutes of jump scares. It is definitely far-fetched, but I admit it was slightly better than I thought.…
