Recently watched all three PURGE movies.
The Purge
It was a decent little home invasion horror. Fantastic concept and great actors. However it doesn't really live up to it's great concept. Little bit boring in places but it was entertaining overall.
The Purge Anarchy
It was a great sequel. It expands on the mythology and gave us a great anti hero. More of an action thriller than a horror. Reminded me of Escape from New York. It also asks some very interesting moral questions. It did exactly what sequels should do.
The Purge Election Year
Essentially more of the same from the second one except with a more political agenda. Really interesting stuff. It was a great evolution of the themes and ideas from the previous movies. Definitely worth watching if you enjoyed the other ones.
Overall, The Purge movies are very interesting action horror thriller hybrids with some very interesting ideas and themes. Worth watching. I would love to see more from this franchise.
