Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
lecaro A piece of s.... I have nothing more to say ... just do not see it
laurapalmersdead This movie is about destroying the lower classes of society. It's not meant to be taken literally; it's allegory. And for what it a tamps to convey, it works.
tterifajova I remember seeing a screen of this movie years ago and I was strongly intrigued. The idea itself is pretty intriguing, when you do forget the plotholes - at least for myself I find the situation when after a twelve hours of going berserk you become once again a lovely neighbour. Though you'd have to be a really disciplined one to hold the act for 364 days... And also petty.But after less than an hour of watching, the movie got predictable. You don't have to be a mastermind to figure the daughter will be used as a hostage when both of them are roaming around the house and the Homeless Stranger wants to survive. Man, it was Charlie's fault in the first place! What ten-year-old supposed genius let's in a stranger during the most horrible night in the country?! Morally, I would. But open the house without permission or conciousness of my parents? What if someone was lurking around and got to our house first? I dunno. Why I gave three stars? Those. Masks. Are. Beautiful. In my honest opinion. They are what got me to want to watch it. The scenes of the Purgators who are playing in the yard and whe they first break into the house, as stand-alone scenes they could be rated higher. I find them mesmerising. Then it is a domestic horror, they just hunt each other down in the house that is SO DARN BIG. And they are so darn bad at being cautious. Charlie, for life's sake, when you are hiding in the basement, and you are HIDING, put some mind into it and do not fence around with that flashlight. And thank goodness there are the neighbours. Though once they kill the Massacre group, you see they are the next killers. Haha, were you surprised? we got look at fancy american households that had protective membrane around them. why cannot you film how it looks like in lower class households who are vulnerable to any psycho eve when they are innocent? Too bad James died though. If I had to choose, he was the one who got on my nerves the least.
Tintin_dhk If you believe in America, The Greatest Country in the world, Yes, this movie is for you. No. You are not gonna like what you are gonna see. But you need to see it to have a look at the soul of this great country of yours. No, I'm afraid this is not a cheap thriller or a horror movie if you are expecting it to be so. This is going to become so grotesque for you, that you WILL hate it.I love the fact that an American Film Maker made it. James DeMonaco might be remembered as a legend sometime in the distant future in an America in dream of which this film has been made for. I believe this is his greatest creation. The very idea of this film and ingenuity of it's script makes this film one of best of it's kind. This film does not shy away from showing the true nature of your innermost beast. Again, it's a satire and by nature it has some unbelievable scenes that your conscious mind will try to protest to, but it will be so overwhelmingly numb that you will not care.You will either love it or you will hate it. There will no feelings in between. Don't watch if you are faint of heart. You have been warned.
