This movie was cliche to the 19th power
I was watching all of this play out, and I couldn't help but to think that the director's vision for the character development was to show how the rich people in America have no clue about the real world. So throughout the movie, these rich people living in this big ass house have no sense of survival skills.
But outside of that brilliant piece of writing/character development. This movie bombed in almost every category.
What really aggravated me was the director's attempt at making this a cliche, typical horror movie. The Director had an opportunity to do something really unique, but he/she resorted to cheap generic jump scares, corny music, and those villains; What in the *beep* was that *beep* with the Purgers.
Okay, if these are every day Americans who are just out to release the tension/anger/frustration/rage.... Why do they have to walk around the yard/house being bat *beep* crazy. Like all of the purgers were doing that Harley Quinn laugh. They were playing with their weapons. Looking crazy and doing random *beep* in the yard. That made me so mad. Because that plot hole really ruined the experience. If they wanted to captivate the essence of just normal people doing violent acts. Then they wouldn't say anything realy. They would just bust into your *beep* hunt you down and get it over with.
If they were going to do that whole, "I'm insane" shtick. Then explain why they are crazy. Maybe the guy wasn't homeless, but an aid being hunted down by residence at the asylum. Something. But come on....
Another thing...
Why did that black dude suddenly become Michael Myers. He gets rescued; No thank you. No explanation to the family of the situation. He jsut disappears and hides in the shadows all movie. And I would feel like the father would have a more intense reaction to his son letting him in. Than, gosh golly son...why did you do that. Shucks
