I agree that Brian Clement is a genius and someone should give him a bunch of bucks to make a decent movie. However, this one isn't up to the high-water mark of Meat Market 1 or 2. Here is why: 1) The special effects...well, they're just not special. If you're going to do a lot of zombie shooting, at least make it look like the zombie has been shot. Don't just spray some blood on the wall behind it and make a loud bang. You expect to see a hole in the zombie, somewhere. This might sound like nitpicking but when you see the zillionth zombie get shot with no visible wound, it gets tiring.
2) Where is the skin, Brian? Meat Market had fully nude lesbian vampires making out. Binge and Purge had one sad shower scene. Oh, the horror.
3) Wake up the sound guy and get him on the job! Every gunshot sounded like a cap pistol fired by the annoying 8-year-old next door. I just couldn't groove to it.
4) Where is the bizarre, the absurd, the ridiculous? I'm down with high-fashion models bingeing on human flesh, but that's as far as it goes in this movie. No Mexican wrestlers in silly costumes, no evil scientists, no nymphomaniac cheerleaders. Man, I was bummed.
5) Enough of the bad acting already! I can live with, even enjoy some seriously bad acting if I have naked lesbian vampires and egomaniacal Mexican wrestlers to make up for it, but Binge and Purge doesn't have anything to take your attention away from the wooden faced b-movie acting. Give me some distraction! Brian Clement has his heart in the right place, but I think he wasn't hitting the bong enough during the filming of this movie. Kinda lost his way. Let's hope he gets his head right for the next film.......
