Interesting submitted by jarroyo on June 25, 2014, 10:06am This movie is very interesting concept. It was better than I thought. It wasn't really scary. I would consider it more suspenseful than scary.

The Purge submitted by SBNB on July 30, 2014, 10:09pm Creepy but interesting.

No to the purge! submitted by leenajong on August 16, 2015, 8:39pm A very inhumane idea. Hopefully it doesn't see the light of day!

Interesting submitted by wgregory on July 3, 2016, 11:34am Watched at my husband's insistence and felt it is combination horror/psychological thriller.

Interesting Concept submitted by dahyatt on July 14, 2018, 10:03pm This was a good movie. The premise is interesting to think about where all illegal activity is allowed for 12 hours. I think the idea that murder would be as rampant as in the movie would not happen, just a lot of crazy parties with a lot of drugs.

Controversial submitted by lstorc on August 28, 2018, 1:57pm Interesting premise...until one realizes it's about ethnic cleansing...then it's extra horrible, but still well done
