Looks interesting but I don't see how having "the purge" can help lowering the crime rate in any way
Looks pretty good, pretty unique concept.
That seems quite a flaw in your super duper mansion if your security turns off when the power goes out and not to have a backup.
That is absolutely utterly fucking terrifying. I'd probably go on vacation that entire week in another country. Or construct a spider-hole/secret crawl space/safe room and hide in it, heavily sedated for the whole night.
Gm_Onslaught the movie.
That's an awesome idea for a movie, up until the home invasion jumpy scary movie thing.
Wow just when I thought they ran out of ideas for movies.
It's a pretty decent idea until it devolves to people in masks sitting on swings and waving knives about.
Ugh, a concept like "We are your government and thought it was cool to let the entire country murder, raid and rape like a bunch if vikings for a day" does not really work well in storytelling if you try to use it as a straight forward plot device. It's best used in associative storytelling but here it's just cranking up a culturally rooted fear to a ridiculous level. It's such a ridiculously blunt and clumsy approach but I guess it works for cheap thrills? Not my kind of movie but I can see how you might enjoy this
Interesting concept, how no one has done this before?
Almost seems very loosely inspired by [i]Death Race 2000[/i], though more in a sense that destruction and carnage are legal for an organized public event. It's also about as logical as [i]Death Race 2000[/i] but whatever its a movie.
Aawesome idea for a movie. Hopefully they explore the purge thing more than the whole home invasion slasher part.

Cool idea but looks like it's ruined by focusing on the stupid slasher movie thing (personally I have no interest in slasher movies what so ever)
