Cochofles Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I'm not surprised whatsoever. The first film had its problems, but it was marketed really well. The second is pretty damn awesome. And it's a fun concept. And they're fucking cheap to make. No surprise whatsoever. If they keep the budgets as low as the first two, they will have a nice little cash cow for a while. And I agree that the concept is fun. After re-watching both films this past weekend, I really want to see more stories from other characters in this universe. I want to see how a homeless person survives a Purge night. I wanna see how other “undesirables” are treated on this particular night. Would prostitutes, transexuals, gays and lesbians be particularly targeted by those crazed Purgers out and about? How about religion? Are Christians ok with the Purge, especially since it does sound sometimes like a cultish religion itself? I wish there was an expanded universe of books about the Purge series...

grey ghost Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 The title is genius. It markets itself and stirs interest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are overloaded with election coverage anyway, I don't think a horror movie trying to coopt that is helping itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockingjay Raphael Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 this franchise is really weird, after the bad first movie, anyone would expect the second movie to decrease hard, but it not only increase, but also received a lot of respect for the series, and now, TP3 is ready to explode, could this be the first horror franchise where each movie increased from the previous one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the premise, in spite of its inherent logical problems, is intriguing and thought-provoking. It doesn't make people think in a quantum-physics kind of way, obviously, because these films are not brilliantly smart or anything even close to that, but at least they are pop entertainment that tries a little more. I liked both films and I hope that the third one also sees the Purge from another angle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I have to admit that it makes me nervous. The series' premise is inevitably underlined by political ideologies, but I don't want the film to be bogged down by actual, in-your-face politicking. I just want thrills, horror elements, and action with a sprinkling of light political ideas, nothing more.

Oh, don't worry, it still a mainstream horror franchise, I doubt it will have any deep political message 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
