The Purge: Fear the Night

Late review but thought it would be worth talking about. I went to the Purge the second weekend of October with two of my good friends. At first, we were a little worried due to all of the negative reviews we saw about the disorganization of this Halloween Haunt. However, this production team obviously took these negative reviews to heart and absolutely turned the production around. When we entered the building after parking, which was not too hard to find, we were greeted by a worker who took our ticket and gave us our security clearance badge. As we waited in line, the anticipation grew, especially since we had to go through the first part of the maze alone. Luckily, my friend was walking at a snail’s pace so I caught up to her and we held hands (we were really scared!) through this mini-​part of the maze.
When we finally exited the first part of the maze, we listened to some speeches by the actors. Something that was annoying about this part was we couldn’t really hear the actor speak. We also didn’t care for the ranting on and on that was obviously that he was running out of things to say to keep us interested. After this point, however, that was when the whole experience came to life. Without giving away too much we were taken to a variety of rooms that were very well designed and decorated and shoved, yelled at and running throughout the building. It was very exciting and interactive throughout. I think almost everyone in our group was roped into doing a task at least once throughout the experience. After the experience ended, with me being the «victim» that gets «killed» at the end of the experience (thanks, guys!) and a mask in hand, we were led to a bar area to mingle with other participants.
Overall, this was an incredibly high adrenaline, high shock-​factor experience that I really enjoyed. I look forward to seeing what next year holds for this production group.

We went last year and had a blast.
Wish I could say the same for our experience last night. In other words this sucked. It was beyond horrible. No one knew what was going on. Especially the actors. Who ever thought of this should be fired. I want my money back. Forget my money, I want my time back. Avoid this at all costs. If the producers had any Conscience they would shut this down immediately, redo what they did last year, and invite everyone back who paid for this crap for free.
I see someone named John S from the Purge is here apologizing and thanking us for our comments, saying sorry we were disappointed. Hey John, do the right thing and refund our money. If you want to have a run through show, invite us for free. It cost me $ 65 to give you an awful review.

UPDATE: They issued me and my group a refund and invited us to come back for free to check out the revamp, so at least they acknowledge it was a dud.

If you only pay for one haunted house or theater experience this Halloween season, DO NOT make it this one!
I was looking forward to an experience that wasn’t your typical haunt (this sounded more akin to Sleep No More) but this horror show was nothing as advertised and an EPIC FAIL!
If their excuse is that it’s a new style and that they’re still testing it out they really should refund us our money. I paid for a complete show and that’s not what was delivered.
Blumhouse should be ashamed to have it’s name on this thing. It does not live up to the quality of their brand and it makes me question my future decisions about seeing their films.
