The idea for this movie was great, the script, acting, stunts (if you can call riding a trail bike at 5km/h a stunt) and camera work let the movie down, the dialog was terrible, in some instances repeating the same thing three times with the exact same lack of emotion, which led to Purgatory feeling very corny at times, especially with the swearing and hesitation from the actors where it almost seemed they were forgetting lines and then bursting out with some random piece of abuse that had just jumped into there heads. If you can see pass this the underlying story is actually pretty good, but everything that happened along the way was so cliché that there were no surprises. 2/10

I saw this movie and really liked it. Compared to other low-budget movies, at least this one was interesting. The story was good and I felt the acting was credible. I really liked the actors that played the villains in this movie, it's scary to think that demented people like that probably do exist. It was nice to see a low-budget movie that has something to say and wasn't about exploitation or titillation (Sorry, but I can only take so many naked coed vampires!).

The situations seemed real and I liked that it was filmed outdoors, not just in someone's house. I though it was cool that it had a good music score rather than a collection of the director's favorite songs.

Could it have been better? Sure, but I wasn't disappointed.
