31 Day Horror Movie Challenge - Movie #16 - The Purge

-
The Purge - It's 2022 and the country gets to purge, which means all crime including murder is legal for one night only. When James Sandlin (Ethan Hawke) who is the top salesman for the security systems that almost everyone in the country uses locks down his family for the purge he believes everything will be fine. But, when his son tries to help an injured stranger by allowing him into their home the Sandlin family will now have to experience the purge up close and personal. This is an interesting concept and it does gets you thinking on whether you would agree with what the movie is doing to people, in terms of morality and right and wrong. This film does have a few good moments, but for home invasions movies it's pretty standard.

Welcome to Horror & Shrill where I recommend a horror film for weekend viewing from one of the available streaming services (Netflix, Shudder, Hulu and Amazon).  The Autopsy of Jane Doe  (available on both Hulu  (most have Showtime add-on and Amazon Prime ) Directed by Andre Ovredal, The Autopsy of Jane Doe weaves a clever and suspenseful supernatural story of father and son coroners, Tommy (Brian Cox) and Austin (Emile Hirsch). When a Jane Doe corpse that was found buried in the basement of a murder site is wheeled into their morgue, this arrival will make their night anything, but routine. As the night progresses, both father and son each experience unnerving horror as every slice and dissect of Jane Doe pulls them further into madness.  I honestly can't recommend this movie enough, it's absolutely one of my favorite horror films of 2017! It has earned the distinction of remaining on my permanent list of top 10 best horror films. Wh...
