The Forever Purge (2021) is a dystopian horror film directed by Everardo Gout, and serves as the fifth installment in the “Purge” film series created by James DeMonaco. The film stars Ana de la Reguera, Tenoch Huerta, Josh Lucas, and Cassidy Freeman.

Set in an alternate reality where, for one night each year, all crime is legal, “The Forever Purge” explores the aftermath of the Purge, when a group of violent extremists decides to continue the chaos indefinitely. Following the events of the previous films, a Mexican couple, Adela (Ana de la Reguera) and Juan (Tenoch Huerta), seek refuge in Texas to escape a drug cartel. However, they find themselves caught up in the chaos of the Purge night and its aftermath.

As the violent Purge escalates beyond the allotted time, the couple, along with a group of survivors, must band together to resist and survive the ongoing onslaught from lawless Purge participants. The film delves into themes of survival, social division, and resistance against extremism, while exploring the consequences of unchecked violence and societal breakdown.

“The Forever Purge” continues the franchise’s tradition of blending horror with social commentary, examining issues of power, privilege, and the human capacity for cruelty under the guise of legal impunity. The film’s intense action sequences, suspenseful atmosphere, and thought-provoking narrative make it a gripping addition to the “Purge” series.
