The Trailer For The New ‘Purge’ Film Dropped & It’s Eerily Familiar

There’s another movie being added to the terrifying Purge series, and the first trailer and poster are here. They both officially dropped at the beginning of President Trump’s State of the Union Address — which is, err, fitting.

The First Purge will tell the origin story of the New Founding Fathers and show how the purge has evolved over the years. The trailer acts as sort of a recruitment video, urging those watching to purge when the time comes. 

 

The First Purge will be released on July 4, 2018.
