Meh

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2013)

The only thing i can really say about this movie is meh. I saw this movie expecting something fairly unique, and got a practical remake of Panic Room. The idea is most defiantly cool, I love horror, I love chaos. The intimidation of a giant angry mob rioting and causing overall mayhem excites me even in movies. Sadly, this movie didn't do too well in that aspect.
I expected some rich family locking the house for 'the purge' and the door getting forcefully kicked in by a giant mob of people, hoping to loot the house, or perhaps just seeing an overview of the 'purge'. However, it's yet another generic hide and seek type of horror film, consistently shoving overused horror clichés in your face.
I can see how people would enjoy it, it's decently made and can defiantly be called a horror film. I can't give it more than a 5 though because it doesn't live up to the sky-high expectations the amazing marketing campaign gave me.
