The Purge: Anarchy 2014

This is an intriguing dark thriller masquerading as a horror movie. It is scary only on an emotional level and relies very little upon cheap scares. Although bloody, this film has a Hayes code styled sense of morality, and very few sympathetic characters die who don't deserve to.

It's not a perfect movie, and a lot of scenes and conceits are highly derivative. I mean, I saw that episode of Black Mirror! But "The Purge: Anarchy" is an unexpectedly enjoyable thrill-ride.
