The Forever Purge Trailer Is Lighting Up The Internet

If you hate rules, but love movies about people who hate rules, then you've probably already flocked to the trailer for "The Forever Purge," the theoretical final bow for the Purge-iverse that mixes the franchise's trademark once-a-year hooliganism with "The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday." Everyone knows the setup: In a not-too-distant future, American nationalists have taken power, instituting an annual 12-hour Purge window during which the generally agreed upon social contract is replaced by a blood-soaked creative writing class philosophy of "the rules don't matter, let's just have fun with it." 

In this latest entry, society slides down a slippery slope. Elaborately outfitted murder stans, like homicidal third act Ebenezer Scrooge types, declare their intention to honor the Purge in their hearts and try to keep it all year. When that iconic siren sounds and citizens of these United States are meant to be getting about the business of awkwardly avoiding eye contact with the neighbors they ran over with their car the night before, an enthusiastic group of celebrants decides to keep the party going.

As a result, we see Juan and Adela (Tenoch Huerta and Ana de la Reguera), alongside their employers the Tucker family (including Will Patton, Josh Lucas, Cassidy Freeman, and Leven Rambin) being pursued by folks who can't wait a whole year to set stuff on fire again. As an added bonus, the Texas setting adds an Old West aesthetic.
