Anthony Mar 31, 2024 Perhaps in 2013, it was a good movie but watching it with today's standards, this movie felt like it didn't have the same edge to it.

See more Arch S @TheManWithNoName 2 days ago It’s just a home invasion movie. The only good use of its potential was the opening credits. The other movies are better. No need to waste your time on this. See more Markus S @RETROBOTER 6 days ago The Purge – An Intriguing Concept with Biting Social Commentary The basic premise of The Purge is as simple as it is terrifying: Once a year, almost all crimes become legal for twelve hours. It's a fascinating scenario with plenty of potential for a gripping horror movie. What I find particularly interesting is the social divide between the rich and the poor. The wealthy upper class hides behind expensive security systems, while others are left defenseless against the violence. The arrogant, self-proclaimed elites add an unsettling layer of social commentary to the film. The plot itself is solid, but nothing groundbreaking. Despite some predictable developments, the claustrophobic atmosphere, the fortified house, and the constant sense of danger create plenty of tension. The Purge offers an entertaining mix of home-invasion horror, social commentary, and a disturbing thought experiment that keeps you thinking as you watch.. My Rating: 6/10 ⭐ See more Ivan V @boyzinthemoviez Oct 17, 2026 It's not as bad as many say, nor is it good. What The Purge does well is the moral and ethical conflict between the family, and the concept alone is definitely the most memorable part of the movie. Ethan Hawke is solid, as always. But the basic compliments I can give the movie simply aren't enough to make it a good one. The characters are shockingly uninteresting, especially the daughter, so when the father dies, I simply couldn't care less. The dialogue is also classic bad horror dialogue. The jumpscares aren't built up to truly scare you. In fact, nothing in this movie is built up or developed for you to care about anything. Could've been better with a longer runtime.
