Movie Info

Adela (Ana de la Reguera, Cowboys & Aliens) and her husband Juan (Tenoch Huerta, Days of Grace) live in Texas, where Juan is working as a ranch hand for the wealthy Tucker family. Juan impresses the Tucker patriarch, Caleb (Will Patton, Halloween), but that fuels the jealous anger of Caleb’s son, Dylan (Josh Lucas, Ford v Ferrari). On the morning after The Purge, a masked gang of killers attacks the Tucker family--including Dylan’s wife (Cassidy Freeman, HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones), and his sister (Leven Rambin, The Hunger Games), forcing both families to band together and fight back as the country spirals into chaos and the United States begins to disintegrate around them.

Audience Reviews for The Forever Purge

Aug 09, 2021

The Purge movies have been fascinating to watch; going from low rent horror to action films with a heavy political edge. And here we are, the most action-oriented and politically driven film yet. You thought Election Year had commentary? Good lord, build a wall round this film because it's overflowing. I'm not saying that as a bad thing per se, I actually liked the commentary it had. Whether or not you agree with what they're saying may alter your opinion, but to me it never felt particularly preachy and in some cases asked questions and raised points that were worthwhile. Yeah there's a fair share of "racism is bad, we went there!" stuff, but the more subtle moments are pretty great. As far as the overall narrative and flow of the film, it's one of the best in the franchise. The reluctant crew escaping the purge is an interesting band, and the premise of the Ever After Purge is interesting. Seeing this apocalyptic state of America burning to the ground is as interesting as it is eerie. The Purge films have never been great cinema, but at their best they've at least been fun or interesting. The Forever Purge probably isn't the most fun (that still goes to Anarchy), but it is the most interesting. I liked it, and if this really is the final film in the franchise (yeah right!) it's a great ending.
