Well-made, relatively standard home-invasion thriller, but with a setting that creates some interesting character dynamics and situations.
The story doesn't really make the most of the premise, though. It felt quite sterile and made a big misstep having the assailants be Funny Games/The Strangers types.
The ending - a decision to de-escalate rather than take vengeance - is pleasingly unusual while also irritatingly short-sighted on the character's part (I guess she'll move house before next year's purge?). Also, two words for the people living in this movie: panic rooms.
Rating: Good
