The Purge (2012)

In the year 2022 the New Founding Fathers of America have ushered in a new age of peace and prosperity; Crime is at an all time low, and unemployment is down to 1%.
The secret of the New Founding Father's success is "The Purge", an annual event in which, for 12 hours, Emergency services are suspended, and all crime is legal.
James Sandin sells security systems specifically intended to keep those who can afford them safe during The Purge. After locking his family home down for the night, his son takes pity on a man who is being hunted, and disarms the system long enough to let him in.
The man's pursuers soon show up and offer the Sandins an ultimatum: deliver him alive before the gang's heavy equipment arrives, or they will force their way in and kill everyone inside.
Can the Sandins find the man, now hiding in their home, and if they can find him, can they bring themselves to turn him over?

Attack the Block

When a gang of hoodies are interrupted mid-mugging by an unknown animal falling from the sky, they respond by beating it to death.
Then the alien hordes arrive, and two things quickly become obvious: beating up random animals is a dick move; and that a south London council estate is not the best place to start an invasion!

When Sam is abducted by aliens In a flash of light, the only witness is his young son, Tony. Needless to say, no one believes Tony, and it is assumed that Sam has run out on his wife and kid.

3 years later (apparently - Tony doesn't seem to have aged in that time) Sam comes back, a new man...

Demon Under Glass

Another non-horror movie - but this one I didn't see coming...

I remember reading about this one when it first came out - our local newsagent used to stock some American magazines back then, including Fangoria, and IIIRC 'Demon Under Glass' was the cover story one issue.

The basic plot can be summed up as: A government department catches a vampire, and experiments on it.

So, about a Vampire, featured in Fango, must be horror, right?
