There's a method to the festival's madness. There are eleven films, one for each of the festival's years.

An enjoyable weed themed splatterfest with some truly stomach-churning practical effects. Light on narrative, heavy on the bodily dismemberment.
Absolutely captivating from start to finish. The definition of ick.
There's something maniacally impressive about a movie where the only good performance comes from a screaming flesh basketball.
The Purge was a film that, to me, didn't sound too appealing on paper, even under the Blumhouse umbrella, but delivered a truly fantastic, yet terrifying experience (it was released before the 2016 election and 2020 Black Lives Matter riots that rocked both the U.S. and world) that allows anyone to commit any crime, including murder, and not be charged for such actions.
