Culling out the people you hate the most, without any retribution

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2016)

Culling out the people you hate the most, without any retribution, wouldn't that be anyone's dream? I know what my answer to that would be
But I'm not sure if the notion of a purge; one 12 hour night a year -7 pm until 7 am- is either sick or ingenious.
This film shows one family during the purge. Trying to stay together during the 12 hours, trying to keep it together. Trying to stay alive, while all hell breaks loose around them. But when there's a daughter that lets her suspicious boyfriend in just before midnight,and a son who lets a stranger, crying for help after being hurt, into the house, who knows what might happen. Dubious shadows keep moving in doorways, are they the boyfriend or the stranger? Is the family safe? And who are the dozen people moving ever closer to their house with axes and other weapons.
When the family encounters the intruders on their lawn, their power gets cut, and it seems like they are f*cked. Will they be able to protect themselves?
This movie shows the downside of 12 hours of a lawlessness and portraits the worst that can happen.
7 out of 10 stars; It's a okay film, but with an original story line I haven't seen before, turning this from an average 5 stars to 7 stars. This is a thriller/slight horror, with some unexpected twists.
