A movie that keeps you tense and on the edge of your seat the whole time. Much better then I expected. I recommend this. I say A-

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2013)

"This is the Emergency Broadcast System announcing the commencement of the annual purge as sanctioned by the US government. Commencing at the siren any and all crimes including murder will be legal for twelve continuous hours." In the future America is flourishing. Almost no un-employment, crime or homelessness due to the fact that one night a year crime is legal. When the night rolls around again the Sandin family settles in inside their protected house and starts to relax. When the son, trying to do the right thing, protects someone in trouble it puts the entire family in danger and the house doesn't seem so safe. While this is a horror movie I do have to say that it's more along the lines of The Strangers then a typical horror. The plot of the movie isn't really that far fetched which makes it a little more terrifying. While I wouldn't call the movie scary I do have to say that it made me feel tense and edgy for almost the entire time. This is a movie that kept me interested and intrigued the entire time. The movie seems to only be filmed in extreme close-ups which adds to the horror aspect of it. It also makes you think how you would act if this actually was going on. I really enjoyed this much more then I expected to and I recommend this. Overall, much better then I was expecting and very tense the whole time. I like and recommend this. I surprisingly give this an A-.
