The Purge: Anarchy
Release Date: July 18th

Many were disappointed with the prequel when everything about the storyline seemed so promising but the actual execution of it blowed. Hopefully the sequel will make up for it because it actually looks good. The sequel starts at the beginning of another annual purge where a man sets out to get revenge on the killer of his son. He ends up helping a mother and daughter who were taken from their home and a couple left stranded on the highway as their car broke down right before the commencement of the annual purge. We hope this one doesn't dissapoint us.
