Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector James DeMonaco was asked why the film began with footage of multiple purges taking place outdoors - yet he opted to have all purging occur inside one family's home. He responded, "we only had 19 days to shoot and $2.7 million to work with". If he ever got a chance to do a second one, he vowed it would be more like Escape from New York (1981).
- GoofsFor a while in the middle of the movie, James has a shaped goatee and moustache, which he does not have during the rest of the movie.
- Quotes
Mary Sandin: We are gonna play the rest of this night out in motherfucking peace. Does anyone have a problem with that?
- Crazy creditsAt the end Credits there are radio broadcasting about the Purge Night.

Featured review
It's great concept but could of been better
I liked the concept of this movie it was engrossing and made me really think. I had hoped this movie would push above average but with certain plot holes and a story that gets weak towards the end it fell within this category. None of the acting stood out apart from Lena Headey. You will want to watch the movie for its concept but find the final product a average thriller action.
