"‘The First Purge’: First Trailer for the Prequel..." Topic

…. Stirs Up American Pride

"Not since Paul Verhoeven‘s Starship Troopers has a film franchise satirically celebrated American jingoism as successfully as The Purge. The Blumhouse Production is, perhaps, even more successful than its spiritual predecessor in tapping into contemporary culture, blending the fictional with the real in ways that are increasingly blurry and disturbing. The First Purge, the latest installment and a prequel film, pulls no punches in directly connecting its marketing message to Donald Trump and his signature American-made hats.

The first trailer for the film is available now, after its poster unveiling just yesterday, but don't expect too much in the way of plot or even cast/character reveals. It's essentially a piece of propaganda meant to whip red-blooded Americans into a frenzy in anticipation of the Purge, and more specifically, to boost the pride that parents should feel when their children want to join in on the event. It's effective, for sure, but one wonders how soon The Purge will cross from fiction into full-blown reality, a concern we never really had for Starship Troopers. That's the scariest kind of horror film there is…."

Seems like just yesterday I took a pass on the first film in the series.

I've never bothered to watch any of those films.

Wow, viewer reviews on IMDB really RIP the original movie !

"Don't spoil the trailer by watching the movie !"
