A fairly decent film...if you end it at about the 70 minute mark.

Rating: 6/10 (7 June 2013)

I'll keep this review short and simple. To get straight to the point, I will admit that after you get past the obviously ridiculous main premise of something like The Purge actually existing, you can let the film hook you in. It gives you an interesting hour or so of not too scary, but still a bit dark and disturbing violence and thrill, with a side of horror and terror.
After the home invasion and actual terrorizing of the family got a little old, you start to wonder.."wait a minute, these bad guys just wanted the man who entered this innocent family's home..who are they?!"
The ending is among the laziest, weakest, and most poorly conceived/written endings in all the horror films I've watched. I won't spoil all of it for you, but it really is just so lazy.
NONE of your questions get answered. Who the heck are these creepy bad guys? What do they want with the mysterious black man who sought refuge in the family's home? Who was the guy anyway?
One thing I will comment positively on is Rhys Wakefield's performance as the creepy, mysterious bad guy who was so eerily similar to Heath Ledger's portrayal of The Joker. Don't get me wrong, I am definitely not putting them in the same category, but I will say that his portrayal was strong, dark and disturbing, and gave the film a bit of enjoyability.
