Save Yourself 86 Minutes submitted by squared_sea on June 13, 2014, 12:46pm The upper class all have security systems which prevents people from attacking their homes during the Purge. The son disarms the system to let in a man being chased by a group of people who then besiege and ultimately attack the family for harboring their victim. Boring. Predictable.

Not as scary as I thought submitted by Lucy S on July 28, 2014, 4:50am Strangely thought provoking. Creepy

The Purge submitted by SBNB on July 30, 2014, 10:08pm It's creepy, but it's an interesting scenario to think about.

Scary, but missed opportunity submitted by KOH on August 8, 2017, 2:48pm Cool premise, but they should've shown more what was going on on the outside.

Just watch the trailer submitted by DawnR on September 7, 2022, 8:00am I should have just watched the trailer and left it at that. Interesting premise but the movie is flat, predictable.
