Not What I Was Hoping For

Rating: 6/10 (22 October 2018)

I'm gonna go ahead and agree with the majority of the reviews on this film. Great concept but really fails to deliver because the entire movie takes place inside a house where a wealthy family is hunted by a mob outside their house after they take in a bloody stranger who was running from the mob. The mob tells the family they must return their escaped victim alive or else they will kill him and the entire family. Okay well there's your story for this film. I was expecting a ton of chaos, blood on the streets and a bunch of riots. But nope we never see that in this one. If that's the kind of horror action you're looking for then I recommend it's sequels, The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year.
Now for the positive review on this film I actually did find it to be quite suspenseful at certain scenes. The violence was pretty solid as well as the bloody scenes.
Now do I recommend this to horror fans? Yeah sure I'd say go ahead and watch it at least once or maybe twice.
Do I recommend to suspense/thriller fans? Yes definitely! This is your type of movie!.
Me as a total horror buff my final rating for Blumhouse's 'The Purge' is a 6/10 rating.
