#TRAILERCHEST : The First Purge is here and the streets will run red with blood…again

Paul Moore

The First Purge

Violent, gory and intense. Fans of The Purge will be pleased.

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for The First Purge.

Plot’s it all about?: Behind every tradition lies a revolution.  On July 4th, witness the rise of the USA’s most horrific tradition – 12 hours of annual lawlessness.  Welcome to the movement that began as a simple experiment: The First Purge.

To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community.

But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the marginalised, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

Cast: Y’Lan Noel, Lex Scott Davis, Joivan Wade, Luna Lauren Velez and Marisa Tomei.

Director: Gerard McMurray

Release date: 4 July (we’re sure that isn’t an accident…)

Enjoy!
