For recent immigrants Adela (Ana de la Reguera) and her husband Juan (Tenoch Huerta), this will be their first experience with legal mayhem and as dawn breaks on the morning after, they’re still standing. For just one night, from sunset to sunrise, nearly all crime is legal. Its running time is 85 minutes.The ultranationalist New Founding Fathers are still governing America, and the yearly Purge continues to happen as scheduled. The film is rated R for strong disturbing violence and some language.
“The Purge” is playing at the Hershey Cocoaplex. I have to believe that we'll see several sequels, perhaps annually like “Saw” and “Paranormal Activity.” Love it, hate it, or if you're in the middle like me, there's no denying that “The Purge” is the future of horror. Undoubtedly there will be another Purge, which means we'll probably get another “Purge.”The film made nearly $40 million this past weekend on a budget of only $3 million. The film ends with newscasters proclaiming this to be the most successful Purge yet. If you think you can enjoy these scenes, you might like “The Purge.” If you detest violent action, then you're probably not planning to see “The Purge” anyway and are right to have made up your mind ahead of time.
I'll admit I cheered for a few violent scenes myself. The society of the film encourages acts of violence, and we the audience feel encouraged to enjoy that violence. But the appeal of the film doesn't lie with the Sandins, it lies with The Purge itself. The rest of the film is pretty much the same as any number of horror movies where the characters have to avoid killers in a darkened house.
He gives the Sandins an ultimatum: hand over the stranger or the snobs will break in and kill everybody. The leader of the snobs (Rhys Wakefield) doesn't wear a mask, but his real face is plenty creepy. Oh how the no-eyes look has given me sleepless nights over the years. They're basically distorted human faces minus the eyes. The snobs wear masks that are the scariest I've seen in some time. He's being pursued by a group of rich snobs who are determined to kill him for being useless to society. The family soon learns why the stranger was so desperate.
THE PURGE RATING REVIEW MOVIE
But the Sandin family is in danger from people who aren't afraid of the consequences, and that's all this movie really needs. Some are opposed because of religion, some because of the Golden Rule, some just aren't that angry, some are squeamish, and plenty are going to be too scared to go out and participate. But getting back to the violent crimes there are way too many people with a moral opposition to violence that goes beyond mere legality. The inevitable sudden shifts in wealth would cripple the economy. First, the film focuses almost entirely on violent crimes instead of the ones that people are more likely to commit, like theft. It's silly to think that such a program could ever work. Of course, the downside is that people are just as likely to be victimized as they are to be vindicated. The idea is that The Purge encourages people to get their violent tendencies out of their system so they'll be better behaved the rest of the year. It's 10 years in the future and a new government program called The Purge allows for a 12-hour period every year where all crime is legal. “The Purge” is a moderately effective horror movie that covers the familiar ground of the home-invasion movie while embracing a unique setting.
