After the rise of a third political party, the New Founding Fathers of America, an experiment is conducted, no laws for 12 hours on Staten Island. No one must stay during the experiment yet there is $5,000 for anyone who does. Starring: Y’lan Noel, Scott Davis, and Joivan Wade Directed by: Gerard McMurray Written by: James DeMonaco   Between “The Purge” and “ The Purge: Anarchy ,” it always seemed like the movies should have been switched. Anarchy gives audiences more details about the Purge, which would have been nice to know in the original movie. “The Purge” has always seemed more like just another home invasion movie because audiences didn’t truly grasp what the Purge was. Now “The First Purge” changes that thinking, and gives this franchise a proper starting place, even though audiences have to watch them out of order.   So how does the Purge begin? The government is changing, and times are rough in the United States. This allows a new party to com...

Years after sparing the man who killed his son, former police sergeant Barnes has become head of security for Senator Charlie Roan, a Presidential candidate targeted for death on Purge night due to her vow to eliminate the Purge. Starring: Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Mykelti Williamson Directed and written by: James DeMonaco   “The Purge” ends up being just another home invasion type horror movie missing out on all of the chaos that’s happening in the streets. “ The Purge: Anarchy ” takes a hold of what the Purge really means, and lets the audience in on the chaos and violence in the streets.

Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell) has taken a hard stance against the annual Purge, and her opponents are looking t...

A young couple works to survive on the streets after their car breaks down right as the annual purge commences. Starring: Frank Grillo, Kiele Sanchez, and Zach Gilford Written and directed by: James DeMonaco   12 hours to commit all the murder, and mayhem you want! Just imagine all of the chaos that could be created! It was such a great premise for "The Purge," but it ended up being more of a back-story for another home invasion movie. Audiences could only hope they would make a series of improvements in “The Purge: Anarchy.”   Well audiences get improvements with the first being how this movie involves more characters from different areas of the city. Each brings a different perspective on the purge, and creates new angles in the story. There is a young white couple, an African American mother and daughter, and a guy who's out for revenge. Each has their own story line before they end up together, and on the streets.   Yes, that's right, on...
