Disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (21 February 2014)

I went to the cinema to watch The Purge with my partner, and we both came out disappointed. We both had high expectations for this film, with the original and good sounding concept.
I thought that the beginning of the film, maybe 30 minutes into it, was half decent. Actually it was pretty much as soon as the masked people came into it, that I thought it was decent. But of course that didn't last, as soon as you see them masked you see them unmasked pretty much straight away. I thought the masks was creepy and wonderful and as soon as it comes off, I thought they rushed into the unmasking themselves.
But the creepiness of the girl in the white dress, whistling and humming whilst skipping around swinging around an axe in her hand made the film interesting for me, whenever she was on the screen, (not often enough).
The ending of the film, was very disappointing, I didn't quite understand it. I think James DeMonaco knew that the beginning of his film would grasp the attention from a selection of their viewers, and didn't bother with the rest of the film.
*HUGE SPOILER*
If people just come into your house, tried to kill you and did kill your husband, the father of your children; would you just sit them around a table in silence and wait for the night to be over? Surely not.
Although the gun to the face and smacking her face off the table made me smile. But the ending was terrible; I felt instant regret spending money to watch it.
