The Purge

2013 · 1h 25m · Science Fiction, Horror, Thriller

IMDb 5.8 Metacritic 41 RT 41%

Skip it—The Purge is a one-note premise that mistakes social commentary for substance, delivering jump scares and home-invasion clichés instead of genuine thrills or insight. If you want smart sci-fi horror, you've got better options.

Plot

Given the country's overcrowded prisons, the U.S. government begins to allow 12-hour periods of time in which all illegal activity is legal. During one of these free-for-alls, a family must protect themselves from a home invasion.

Director: James DeMonaco

Cast: Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Burkholder, Adelaide Kane, Edwin Hodge
