cool concept for a movie - a bit weak on the executuion of the idea, but not a bad movie. One makor flaw - Ethan Hawke horribly cast.
better than anticipated.. a decent flick.
As soon as I started watching this movie, I didn't feel good for some reason. Guess it was the movie, right? Really, what a stupid forgetable movie, nothing shocking or scary whatsoever, the characters were all dumb as hell. And it was so dark I could hardly see anything, which made it even worse. Worst movie I have ever seen, and that includes the bling ring. ugh. But I still like Rhys Wakefield and Ethan Hawke though, it's not their fault the movie sucked, it was the script.
Cool movie
Awesome movie! Scary concept really makes you think that in reality none of us are safe. Even without The Purge, this could happen to anyone all it takes is for some psychos to break into your house!
This movie was so bad! It was so predictable and you could see the shadow of the video camera at one part! Can't believe this got into the theatre! Don't waste your time!!!
Would prefer to give this movie 1/2 star but it looks like 1 is lowest.It sucked from beginning to end
If you like movies like "The Saw" franchise or movies with sadistic torture or other forms of depravity, then you won't like this movie. If you have become desenstized to the above then you won 't get a rise either. It's somewhat of a morality tale where the father has to choose who to save and his children teach him that he's been found wanting. It surprised me, quite violent at times but worth seeing.
I will never fully understand why such a movie was conceived. What has society become to allow such a grotesque film to be made public. Society is concerned over the implications movies such as the Fast and Furious has on young impressionable minds. I ask, what kind of message does this movie send? What a waste of time!
I thought it was pretty stupid...as did the many who went to see it with me. Just a waste .
