I received this lovely trailer yesterday. If you haven’t read it on Instagram, I had my second dose of vaccine yesterday, and whew this one has a chick tired and achy. But let’s push through. Universal Pictures has released the official full trailer for The Forever Purge, and again whew.
This summer, all the rules are broken as a sect of lawless marauders decides that the annual Purge does not stop at daybreak and instead should never end in The Forever Purge.
Adela (Ana de la Reguera, Cowboys & Aliens) and her husband Juan (Tenoch Huerta, Days of Grace) live in Texas, where Juan is working as a ranch hand for the wealthy Tucker family. Juan impresses the Tucker patriarch, Caleb (Will Patton, Halloween), but that fuels the jealous anger of Caleb’s son, Dylan (Josh Lucas, Ford v Ferrari).
On the morning after The Purge, a masked gang of killers attacks the Tucker family—including Dylan’s wife (Cassidy Freeman, HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones), and his sister (Leven Rambin, The Hunger Games), forcing both families to band together and fight back as the country spirals into chaos and the United States begins to disintegrate around them.
Vaulting from the record-shattering success of 2018’s The First Purge, Blumhouse’s infamous terror franchise hurtles into innovative new territory as members of an underground movement, no longer satisfied with one annual night of anarchy and murder, decide to overtake America through an unending campaign of mayhem and massacre. No one is safe.
Everardo Gout is the director of The Forever Purge and it is written by James DeMonaco. I am a fan of this franchise; in my opinion they have consistently told their version of a dire lawless America. They keep making cool slick looking entertaining films, with steady violence. And, that’s what ya want in a action horror movie, right? The franchise in the past has highlighted the African American marginalization done in Purge America, this time we are getting the Mexican immigrant side.
The Forever Purge is in theaters July 2.
