The Purge The Morning After (2013)

The Purge The Morning After 2013 You remember THE PURGE from last year What do you mean I didnt bother wasting the price of a cinema ticket on it either Theo Maybe a good decision because while everyone who saw it raved what a sharp idea for a premise the film itself sucked This short film is an unofficial sequel and one wonders if the production team might have got in to copyright trouble That said it is a comedy and its not like anyone was ripping anyone else off and looking to make a profit at the box office so we can ignore copyright problems The problem might be the way this short plays outComedy is a subjective thing What might have one person rolling on the ground in fits of laughter may leave their companion totally stone faced I often think the most humorous moments in life are something that are blatantly funny and are delivered in morose straight faced tones Im thinking of Dubya giving a Bush ism or the great Christopher Hitchens giving a Hitch slap Here in THE PURGE THE MORNING AFTER the cast are trying a little bit too hard to tickle our funny bone and becomes a bit too slightly farcical for my taste and borders on full blown surrealism at one point when I would have preferred things executed in a more dark manner That said its only six minutes long and finishes at just the right point
