“The Forever Purge” is a very strong fifth entry in the Purge series. This is the best film in the series since “The Purge: Anarchy.” By focusing their attention on Texas and immigration, they have given the series new life.
“The First Purge” is James DeMonaco’s attempt to capture the zeitgeist during a politically inflamed time in America. It’s an interesting film that is the most divisive amongst fans of the series.
“The Purge: Election Year” has a little difficulty following up “The Purge: Anarchy,” but it is still an enjoyable action film. The candy bar sequence may be the best sequence in the series.
“The Purge: Anarchy” pivots from horror into action-thriller territory successfully. It’s a strong sequel that set the template for the rest of the series. It remains a fan favorite.
