Horror Movies

The Purge: Election Year (2016)


Have to start off by saying this movie proved to be a disappointment. They completely removed the horror element from the franchise and turned it into a typical roided-up action thriller. They focused a lot on a political conspiracy that made the entire plot very predictable. Not to mention there isn't much character development which leaves you caring very little about anyone. All of that combined to make a very flat & fairly unsuspensful movie. What really pissed me off the most was how all the cool lookin masked villains you see in the trailers only lasted maybe 3mins of the entire movie. Instead they focused too much attention on one group of teenaged girl villains that were about as threatening as a box of kittens. They tried hard to make those girls seem scary and it came off really lame. The main villains (swat task force & their employers) however carried some better face-value. They at least provided decent entertainment. As I said before, the plot & climax was very predictable and there weren't any twists. Overall I wouldn't recommend paying to see this. I streamed it online for free and was glad that I did.

Lost sight of what made the series so popular... 5/10

Not scrolling through over a 1,000 posts to see if it's already been posted. I've seen it before and I give it a solid 6. Too early to do a full analysis.

Not exactly sure why I'm up this early on my day off.

That movie was pretty good. Sort of a cross between The Ring & Final Destination. Can't quite remember all that happens in it so I might have to give it another watch sometime soon.

I think there are more than who we see posting in here. I see people reviewing horror movies in the "Last Movie You Watched" thread all the time. I tried responding a few times to those posts by encouraging them to come into this thread, but nobody ever replied. I'm hopin at some point this thread catches on with a bigger following. For now, we definitely have a great crew that come & go.

His works are creative, but I wouldn't call him the "Horror King" that the media seems to throw out quite often. He's definitely a contender though. The Visit, The Village, Signs, The Devil, & The 6th Sense, were all good horror movies. He has a knack for telling enthralling stories.

I haven't seen that. He tells a different kind of Horror story.

Haha, you guys don't wanna go see my buzzed thread where I talk about The Village. I liked Unbreakable, mainly 'cuz I grew up reading comics. Also liked 6th Sense, although I thought Bacon did a much better take on the theme with Stir of Echoes. Could never get through the Mel Gibson one.

Never seen The Devil, The Visit or the one about grandma. I am oddly fascinated by M. Night's movies so I wouldn't mind checking them out.

So recently I watched Cabin in the Woods and everyone has told me it was going to be "very very scary" ... When I watched it, it may have just been the most un-scary horror movie I have ever seen! Does anyone agree?

It wasn't scary but I liked it a lot. It was a different kind of Horror movie, which is always welcome in this day and age where shit gets recycled over and over.

I haven't seen it but it looks very promising.

 

[nathans8823]

I haven't seen it but it looks very promising.

I would say its the 2nd best horror film this year (First one is The Conjuring 2)
