Neither was special, but at least You're Next wasn't boring nor was it a waste of a truly brilliant concept.

You're Next by a country mile. It didn't do much new, but it delivered a rollicking good time with tons of gore, a badass final girl, a great '80s-style synth soundtrack, and a cool twist. Once it turned into the most fucked-up remake of Home Alone ever, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

The Purge, on the other hand, blew chunks. It wasted an intriguing premise, the characters were ass-stupid, and it didn't work as a scary movie.

I honestly didn't like You're Next's final girl all that much. If she was in a film with a truly strong group of character she wouldn't even stand out. She was badass, yes, but that's all she had going for her. She's not overly original or developed. Better than the rest of the cast.... but the less said about them the better.
Also found the twist to be kinda eye-roll worthy. It was probably the most predictable thing to do, it even corssed my mind before seeing the trailer.

Neither was a great time, but as said, You're Next didn't leave me bored in the way The Purge did.
I don't get how you can criticize The Purge and NOT You're Next for stupid characters though. The morons in You're Next made the ones in Purge look genuinely smart :P

I'd rather suffer with boring high school tests than watch both of these films again but at least You're Next had blood, gore and some funny parts.

Life's hard, grow a pair.
haven't seen either fully, but what I did see makes me say Purge > You're Next. Purge at least had the mother and father. The characters in You're Next were just so... .-. that I couldn't even get that far into the movie. I have no interest in watching the rest, where I want to actually get back and finish Purge. I'll hold off on voting till I've seen both fully tho...so..my vote wont be in for a long while lol
