At the intersection of social commentary and voyeuristic blood-spattered action sits The Purge franchise, a series of movies that imagines a future in which the American government makes everything legal—even murder—for a single 12-hour period every year. That novel premise adds a bit of meaty subtext to the grisly proceedings while raising some intriguing questions about human nature and our current sociopolitical climate—some of which promise to be answered by The Purge 3, which producer Jason Blum has suggested will focus on the first Purge while offering a more in-depth look at the group of self-styled “Revolutionaries” who hope to bring the sickening tradition to an end.
