looks trippy and i like the premise.

Saw the trailer; definitely something I'd be interested in watching.

I'd whoop my son's ass once we survived the whole ordeal. Oh, and I'd be the guy who would murder every single person out there searching for the guy the moment they stepped on my lawn.

Dafuq kind of high security system is that when you can disarm it with one touch?

Mostly a crazy update of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery." Probably will check it out.

it's a pretty good security system unless someone is dumb enough to disarm it from the inside.

I have a feeling that kid is gonna piss me off. The same actor plays a character on a tv show that annoys me to no end.

Looks interesting. Has that home invasion Liv Tyler type feel from years back.

Obviously a political statement movie, but aside from that, looks pretty damn good. Y'all should check out the official site, it has "the history of the purge" "if you decide not to participate, how to stay safe," a bunch of statistics and such, like murder gone down to 0. My favorite : "How to hold a Purge Party."

To think this chick filed for bankruptcy.

I thought her GoT check would have been outstanding.

But what's scary about this movie is if you go to the official site...they put it in a way that it makes a whole lot of sense. I wouldn't want this to happen, but I could see it being a success and having similar numbers after people get over the disgust.

I'd be interested in seeing the cleanup after the day was over.

it's an interesting concept because you could literally make a hit list comprised of all the people who pissed you off throughout the year. Knowing that you could be legally killed would force people to be kinder/more polite as to not get on anyone's bad side; so yeah, it makes sense that people would be more civil in everyday life.

On the official site, it says they have designated cleanup sites where you go to drop off bodies and they have volunteer's on hand to help dispose of them.

link?

http://www.newfoundersamerica.org/ - Main site. It's got info and stuff on it. Just click around. Really interesting if you step back and think about it.

thanks.

pretty cool that they put so much thought into it. They could have have fun with the viral marketing. Kind of a waste.

I understand that. I suppose they just went way further. People walking into the theatre just wanting to see another slasher. Then walk out thinking..."maybe I should actually say hi these people next me".

Kind of brilliant.

What a ridiculous idea.

This could be very original and very good or could plunge into mediocrity and general shiteness. It's limited scope so far makes it seem like the Straw Dogs remake or The Strangers which would make the whole legal crimes aspect a moot point if there's no focus on the broader society beyond the family watching the killings on tv. I'm guessing the people outside are trying to exact revenge for something and turn out to be the good guys. Don't think it'll get a wide release over here anyway.

The film was originally planned to be released on May 31, 2013, but was later rescheduled for June 7, 2013.[2] The film was rated R by the MPAA for "strong disturbing violence and some language".

this looks so damn stupid and full of cliche, but im sure this was made on the cheap so it will be a success
