Didn't know what to expect when I saw this at a sneak peek tonight. My friends and I enjoyed it! Some unexpected storylines coupled with the director's use of close-up shots and bass created a sense of claustrophobia throughout the movie, which worked well with the script. Had a great take on current internet culture that felt real and not like some 50 year old executive's take on "being hip". Only gripe was the last 15 minutes or so seemed crammed together. Would have gladly sat through another 10 minutes to wrap up some things they skillfully built throughout the movie. Overall I enjoyed it and would watch again. The older people in the crowd were not pleased at all, however. Lolz! (You'll better understand that last bit after the movie.)

Crazy amounts of blood, sex , violence and much more. Decent story of kill everyone. This film could be described as Kill Bill meets Spring Breakers.

This film is not only foreshadowing the possible future but it is also predicting why things like this happen. People make mistakes and go to hell for it, not only is this film a totally original idea but it is also just plain out badass ! The only reason many critics didn't like it is because of the idea of girls drawing guns to defend their private information. I can understand why some people don't like this film as it is a very controversial subject but I absolutely love it and will soooo be adding it to my top 10 !

Tries way to hard to be edgy and poignant with the incessant hypersexualization and teen dream drama that completely dominates the 1st half, but it's all just numbingly dull. The characters are neither exciting nor memorable, and while some have a few ideological points to make, none of them actually make you care. Except for Joel McHale, who is all-around awesome :).

The story itself doesn't do them any favors, either. The leaps in mob paranoia and violence make no sense, and though one can argue such things aren't rational in the first place, in here they really make no sense. Especially when it comes to the heroines being blamed and targeted for everything, despite no reasonable inklings or motives as to how they could be responsible for anything. And the ending is as dumb as can be.

Don't be fooled by the film being billed as a cross between "Heathers" and "The Purge" since it shares practically nothing with the two. Don't get intrigued by the trailers (which, I'll admit, are good). Don't waste your time and money on this.

I didn't really know what to expect when I watched this but I looked up ratings before and set the bar low. I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed it. I can see how some people wouldn't like it from the dialogue because it is very modern but I think that it depicts a real view of how most teenagers and young adults think and talk in 2019. Also, another thing I see people talking about is the fact that it's unrealistic. It's a movie. It's fiction. It's an imaginary world. That's what makes movies so cool, am I right? But I don't see how people can deny the fact that 1. The acting is great. Like I said, I set the bar low going in and I was looking for things that made it a bad movie. But I can honestly say that the acting wasn't cheesy and unconvincing at all. 2. The cinematography was done very well and there were some standout moments where I was like, this has its own unique style. I was impressed. 3. It was gory and shocking as hell and I think that it's hard to pull off that level of shock factor nowadays. 4. The message! I loved it. And I think a lot of people could benefit from hearing it and thinking on it and applying it to their own life. For the last half of this movie, my mouth was on the floor. I definitely recommend.

This movie left me not knowing how to feel about it.

Stylistically, it's a masterpiece of modern day music and cinematography. The soundtrack and visuals do an amazing job of setting and maintaining the mood throughout the entire film. It definitely gets an A++ in that category.

The plot itself is also pretty good, with many poignant observations on the internet era we live in. Cyber bullying, meme culture, sexting and the inherent lack of privacy of today's world are all covered. Plenty of unrealistic moments but I don't think this movies point was to be deep or hyper realistic so that's okay. It gets a B- in this category.

Where things start to fall apart are the actual characters themselves. While all the actors do a great job in portraying their respective characters, you won't ever really care too much them or see any real character development. Everyone in the film is just a plot device to move the story along including the main characters. Plus when you add how incredibly vapid the main cast is written to be, it ends up making it somewhat difficult to empathize with any of them for the most part..

Finally, we have the final and biggest problem in my opinion. The moral leanings (or lack thereof) of the movie. After making such great observations on internet culture, this movie is incredibly ambiguous when it comes down to society itself. For a movie that starts with a literal trigger warning about toxic masculinity which it contains plenty of, the movie doesn't really examine the Mean Girl levels of toxic femininity displayed throughout. Instead choosing to go in a direction of a nihilistic faux female empowerment fantasy that may ultimately do more harm than good for the young, gullible and uninformed viewer who are most likely to enjoy this movie

All-in-all the movie was incredibly watchable and may even be good for a re-watch or two. This was a movie that the director could've been made into a cult classic. But instead he just made it for the lulz.

As a cinephile, it is common for me to try to find what's good in every movie. This one made that search a little harder. Aesthetically pleasing scenes with lots of close-ups coupled with an ethereal and current soundtrack were the only silver linings in an otherwise nonsensical and often muddled film. The story seemed unable to find, and stick to a central message; was it "Girl Power"? Or a statement on the apparent death of privacy to make room for the digital age. In a nut shell, my high hopes for the movie were cut down by an inability to convey a message, and an ultimately confused storyline.

Assassination Nation is a "modern" take on the Salem witch trials, which, coincidentally takes place in Salem. Once a hacker starts exposing deep secrets from the townspeople ranging from the mayor to the principal to the students, all hell breaks loose. And when main protagonist Lily along with her 3 girlfriends are blamed, they find themselves fighting for their lives. I loved every minute of this film, the cinematography was not only stylish but necessary, avoiding borderline pretentious arthouse that leaves you feeling robbed. If you are going in for the violence, you won't get much of til half way into the film, but when it does come, it is a very satisfying and adrenaline filled rush. That's not to say I didn't feel exhausted from this film by the time we reached the last 5 minutes, but only because this story took quite a bit to spiral out of control that by the time sh*t hits the fan, you are left feeling quite full with what you are fed in the final act. I say this because if you are expecting those 4 girls to absolutely obliterate a whole mob of angry people, you will be disappointed to hear that the film ends before we see that carnage, but what you do see is fulfilling enough to forgive that cliche copout, which is why I take one star away from an otherwise perfect film. If you are the type of person that thinks 4 girls talking about male genitals and whose nude pictures they have on their phones, you might be a bit annoyed with our leads. But as for me, I loved every second they were on screen. Not to mention the polarizing use of modern trap music and the booming bass constantly playing in-between scenes and in the background that compliments the 4 girls aesthetics, whether they are simply walking down the school halls or doing something mischievous that will ultimately have consequences by the time things start going south. I ask you why you are on iMDB because, it's not that this movie is some "snowflake" SJW horror film trying to bombard you with the words "trigger warning" but that it is very political and seeing how the Purge movies are received, I highly doubt this movie won't take a beating from a few bothered people. Enjoy this movie for the hilarious and disturbing outcome of what happens when a paranoid town resorts to gory violence. You may walk away feeling pleasantly surprised

Was it the best film? No. But it's a fun movie, it goes more towards the teenagers, young adults but it's about a small town where everyone loses their minds and it's a fun storyline. If you're bored i definitely would watch this movie, it's not boring and it has good talented actors.

Bill is amazing, Bella is a great actress not focusing on her in the media, Cody Christian did his job, he isn't the best actor, but he's a good actor and i can see him in more roles soon.

This film is wild. It has unexpected moments and unnecessary moments. It's so weird and wacky I kinda like it. The beginning of the film was kinda slow but it allows characters the time to show their true colours. The actual thought behind why the town turned on these girls is still up for debate but overall it was an interesting concept. There was many shocks and it was a film that didn't hide from many different problems concerning the world today. I believe the film also took inspiration from the Salem witch trials as they have similar aspects. The cinematography was something I quite liked however as some points the movie could have sped up. I think that this movie covers some very necessary topics and this movie will not rate very highly because society does not want the world to see movies like this. It contains topics like homophobia, transphobia, rape, sexual assault and drug use. These are topics extremely relevant today and it shows the extremities of some communities and how social media can be so extreme

Unlikable characters doing ugly things in an ugly world.

I watched this last night and I highly recommend it, especially if you're a young woman. A lot of sex and violence, but very feminist (this definitely passes the Bechdel Test) and very timely, too!

This is definitely not your usual horror movie, but this is actually a good thing and doesn't mean that it's boring or bad. It's actually the movie that's interesting from the beginning. It really portrays our modern world and our generation's problems, but taking it to a very next level. Shows how peoples secrets can ruin their life when someone leaks them. And how this changes people completely. Of course you will see a really extreme version of events which pushes the movie into the horror genre. No, it's not the best horror movie, more like a fun teenager not slow-burner movie which happens to be full of action and blood. But definitely worth a watch, and if you like these types of movies you'll have a great time.

Can't believe what I just watched, awful story. It just didn't make any sense at all.

Completely surprised me - one of the very few movies where i didn't agree with the critics and their low score. Strong female cast, good plot, mind numbing violence with an amazing soundtrack.

One scene was shot in one take which was suburb (try and guess which one). It's a great unique movie. It compelled me enough to make this my first movie review.

The only thing this...thing...has going for it are visual effects. It's The Purge meets Mean Girls. This is supposed to be a shock-to-the-system, wake-up-sheeple movie about privacy and hypocrisy, but it's just a flat-out oinker of a movie. There's just no value in it. The heroes are snotty little twits who garner your sympathy only because you know they're innocent. Nearly every scene is cringe inducing. It's a violent, cacophonous assault on logic and coherence, and it feels like it was directed by a toddler in desperate need of Adderall. It got so bad that I had to watch it on mute with subtitles. By the end of the movie, I despised pretty much everyone in the movie, even the ones who hadn't done anything wrong. I feel dumb for having watched this.

I understand why some people struggled with the subject. But the film is original and engaging. I would recommend to anyone looking for something different

Update of the history of Salem, hysteria and social hypocrisy, to the times of social networks and the use of mobile phones.

Mundane teen soundtrack dominates the first hour of this nonsensical pastiche of badly developed characters, ridiculous plot line and completely predictable ending. They took a basic concept and stretched it so far beyond the boundaries of sanity that in the end, it completely loses its focus and becomes yet another two dimensional indictment of stereotypical white men. If you look closely at all of the "bad guys" you will see what I mean. Get woke, get cringe.

It's extreme, it's crazy, and it's fun if you don't take it seriously. The acting is on point. The pacing is pretty good. The lack of realism is a bit laughable. If you can handle crazy and nonsense with a touch of comedy you will enjoy it.
