** Laney and Dawn pass by several horrible sights - a few guys have set up a guillotine in an alley, chopping off a head just as they drive by and shrieking in joy. A car with three people tied to the hood, still alive and screaming for help, drives by the triage van but Laney and Dawn simply don't have a way to save them. These are only a few we see in a few minutes.

* Once again, the premise of the Purge itself. This time however, it's pure nightmare fuel to know that there are Americans in the movie who completely support its existence.

** The various traps set up by a pair of sociopathic guys who laugh off the deaths of their victims, even expressing some dissatisfaction when their traps fail.
** An elderly woman purger just singing next to a burning body.
* The Purge Mass, a heavily religious get-together of the rich and powerful, including leaders of the NFAA, who gather to Purge like there's no tomorrow.
