We know it: To say something and actually mean it and put it into practice are two different things. In Hollywood in particular, this famous duplicity of saying one thing and doing the other has a very long and verifiable tradition.
After all, it’s not for nothing that you are in showbiz, the Show business. What is successful is often exhausted so long and continuously that the audience simply loses interest in it. We were accordingly surprised when Blumhouse publicly announced that some time ago The Forever Purge, the eternal cleansing, the final chapter of the extreme profitable The PurgeSeries would be.
Looking at the numbers, there is no reason to do so. Although you had to The PurgeSeries, which was discontinued after two seasons, took a bit of a damper for the first time, but every film in the series has so far been shown in theaters – and that’s amazing – a little better than the previous one. There are no valid reasons for drawing a line under the purge, except maybe because the creators want it to be so, so there are none.

Is the end near now? No! Part 6 already in progress
And originally, franchise creator James DeMonaco actually intended to stick to this promise. But now, only a few days away from the American cinema premiere, he is no longer so sure – and explains to his colleagues at Daily Dead also the same as why that is so. An unexpected flash of inspiration is to blame for the sudden change of heart and the somewhat surprising course correction, at least outwardly!

“So I’m going to write the next film,” says DeMonaco. What twist does he have in store for us this time? “The film re-enacts five years The Forever Purge. I found a way to steer America in a whole new direction that gives us the opportunity to explore some exciting places. We also see a character from previous films [möglicherweise den von Frank Grillo gespielten Leo Barnes aus Anarchy/Election Year?] again, which could be fun. “
That’s how good The Forever Purge got

For William Bibbiani from The Wrap the fifth part is a film “that sometimes loses its focus, but in its best moments is a captivating, brutal and terrifying prime example of how far America could degenerate if we give in to the wrong impulses.” Brian Orndorf criticizes, that the message of the film is not always conclusive and that DeMonaco does not know exactly where he is going with his vision of a collapsing America.
The vast majority of the reviews are positive, for example, praising the madness that DeMonaco’s script ignites, as well as the strong performances by Ana de la Reguera free nacho and Cop Out, Josh Lucas (Ford v Ferrari), Cassidy Freeman (HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones) or Life Rambin (The Hunger Games) that guide us through the film.
