Oh wow Purge Anarchy got a top ten. That was my guess for the next to drop but I didn't think it'd get any top tens. I thought it would get a bunch near the 15 or so range and then a bunch near the bottom. With Purge out of the way, I don't really have any more guesses for what's next. It really depends on preferences as there aren't too many left where I would go "oh wow that had a top ten vote?" There's only one left I didn't like at all, but I saw at least one person here say something positive about it so no clue if I'm in the minority or not.

I repeat. The original purge was the best purge movie.

I don't know if that is a "hot take" or not, but I 100% agree. I haven't seen any past #2, mind you, but I vastly preferred the original. Not that it was great, but I at least thought it was an interesting concept done fairly well. I know home invasion movies have been done to death, but the premise was at least fun enough that I didn't mind it.

The common thing that keeps coming up of "what is horror" is really interesting, and I do agree that Purge Anarchy could've been a successful horror tinged action film with better direction/script. The early parts of the movie actually have a decent amount of that and it isn't until the Punisher shows up that it really went off the rails for me.
