The series needs to be Purged.
This movie has to be the weakest in the franchise.

There's barely any story, the characters are overly stereotypical and it feels like the transitions from one area are spoon fed via viewings from the control centre.

The trailer is misleading I feel and nothing like the movie.

The movie is uncomfortable viewing beincuse of its highly political and racially charged content, but that is kind of the point....and the twist at the end made me question a few things in the other movies.

Good until the ending
Contains spoilers, click to show
Intrigued by this movie from the beginning but its use of effects and camera shots made it easy to guess the ending and the idea.

The movie is about a guy who takes his wife and daughter to the hospital and they disappear. He spends the whole movie trying to find them, while everyone is calling him crazy.

He actually does end up being crazy which is an easily guessable twist. The twist should have been that something absolutely mental was going on, would have been so much more entertaining. I was willing it to not go in the obvious and painful direction XD

A classic that you have to see at least once in your life
Good direction, you get to hate the antagonists and the main actor wins your heart. Oliver Twist is a book classic if you can read the book before the movie, read it. If not, then pictured the characters as in the movie sometimes help you more.

As I said, Oliver Twist is a classic both, movie and book. You have to watch it as a must, more so, in the holidays season.

Album Favorite

"One of the first records I ever bought was Chubby Checker's 'Twistin Round The World'. He was a cultural phenomenon because the twist in those early days was a really big thing. He had an afternoon TV show every day called where he would show people how to do the twist. All it was was a green screen in those days and him doing all that stuff. I studied him, like anything else. Ernest Evans was his real name, and Kal Mann wrote those records, but the irony is that 'The Twist' was not originally recorded by Chubby Checker. It was recorded by Hank Ballard And The Midnighters, that was the original and he sounds just like Chubby. Chubby changed his name from Ernest Evans to Chubby Checker after Dick Clark's wife says, 'He reminds me of a young Fats Domino'. Fats, Chubby. Checker, Domino. Again, 'Twistin Round The World', with the globe behind it and everything, it showed me that this was a global phenomenon. That told me something. That's when I started to be aware that there are songs, then there are artists, and then there is the informational gathering of how you tell people how big you are, how famous you are. I remember later on that I saw an advertisement for Sabbath in Rolling Stone, and the ad said: 'Black Sabbath: Louder Than Led Zeppelin', I thought that was genius. It didn't say it was better, just louder. Chubby Checker had so many hits. Obviously 'The Twist', 'Let's Twist Again', 'Pony Time', 'The Fly', 'Limbo Rock', lots of stuff! He must have had 20 hits. Great music isn't just songs; it's also a social tool, like a favourite song that people used to get married or something like that."

We are never allowed to get a hint of how this will ultimately end. When the rather brilliant finale comes, it is very neat twist plot that no-one could have possibly predicted.

Well I have to say it did take me awhile to get through this book. It wasn't bad, but there were a few parts that seemed to drag a bit. The story is interesting, a twist on a classic which is a tricky prospect. This was done well.

Mind-bending horror film that defies it's expectations
In Jordan Peele's first film, he successfully expands out of cheesy horror film expectations to make a brilliantly terrifying movie that follows a mind-bending storyline packed with multitudes of twist anyone would love.
