Movie: The First Purge (15)

The First Purge (15) – what’s it about? The prequel to The Purge movie series, this is the story of the first Purge and how it all came to be a national annual event.

APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE THIS REVIEW HAS A SPOILER IN IT – BE WARNED!!!!

Ok so I love The Purge franchise, it’s one of my favourite modern horror movie series. What I would love to see from this franchise along with the coming TV series is a survival computer game – now that would be awesome! Anyway I’m getting distracted there, on with the movie review…so as a Purge nut I was expecting quite a bit from this movie, yes it was good, it was a little uneventful but then again the build-up is all part of it but what threw me off was what I’d call a plot issue. If I say what I want to here then it’s going to be a spoiler, but I need to say it, so you have been warned – incoming ***SPOILER*** no member of the general public should have been able to figure out the conspiracy in this prequel movie, that happens in the second and third movie, and it shouldn’t be in this which is technically the first one. So this made me get really disappointed in this movie real quick, because if people – even if just a handful of people lived and had figured it out then they’d totally be shouting it from the rooftops and then everyone would know and then the rest of the movies would be completely discounted. ***END SPOILER RANT*** Apart from that though it was a good movie, it had some good suspense and stuff, not as much killing as I was expecting which was a little meh but it was still a good watch and worth seeing. Yeah so this time for me because of the plot issue, its sadly not going to reach the four star mark – sorry Purgers
