The Purge

7 Jun 2013

A single-house home-invasion thriller. The premise is far bigger than the film built around it.

The Purge: Anarchy

18 Jul 2014

Out onto the streets, which is what everyone wanted from the first one. The best of the five.

EssentialMovie
03

The Purge: Election Year

1 Jul 2016

A senator campaigning to end the Purge becomes a target. The most openly political entry.

The Forever Purge

2 Jul 2021

Set after the Purge is abolished and people keep going anyway. The most interesting idea in the series, in its weakest film.

The Purge

4 Sept 2018

Two seasons, sitting between the films. Skippable. Nothing in the films depends on it.
