the purge

The police later apologized.

Series creator James DeMonaco claims he’s got an idea in mind that would finally purge the franchise from theaters once and for all.

Check out the first trailer for USA’s limited series event based on the hit horror franchise, which features all the creepy masks and satirical conservative rhetoric we’ve come to expect from The Purge.

Two new citizens are officially joining The Purge. Syfy and USA’s TV adaptation of the ultra-violent franchise has found its leads in a War veteran and a Six star, in the process revealing some curious new details of the story.

The twisted minds behind The Purge franchise are at it again — and so is their brilliant marketing team. Universal has officially announced the next chapter in the increasingly socio-political horror series with a new teaser poster incorporating a certain very famous red baseball cap. Get ready for The First Purge.

The Purge movies have continued to act as unforgiving social and political satire, as unsubtle as they are violent, and that trend will only go further in the next installment in the series. The fourth film, titled The Purge: The Island, takes place on the very first Purge Night, confined to the shores of Staten Island, and the concept sounds appropriately messed up.

Even though the story was more or less wrapped up at the end of The Purge: Election Year, we should probably get used to these movies, much like the Purge itself, happening about once a year. James DeMonaco, creator of the franchise and director of all three, will be back writing the screenplay and working closely with Universal to find a director for the fourth.

The thriller "The Purge" knocked "Fast & Furious 6" out of the top spot in this week's box office with an estimated take of $36.3 million.
