Let me just make it clear that there are many things that scare me in life, like the thought of being hit by a car when am perfectly away from the road. Yes, it happens. So in that case, I ensure that I keep away from horror films at all times. When I first started watching ‘The Purge’ (the first purge -2018) I had no idea it was horror, I obviously had an idea there was violence but there is a way it woes you into watching.
The purge is a movie series whereby American citizens are given freedom to commit any crime they wish within a period of 12 hours without any sanction by the law, including murder. This only happens annually and is even marked as a holiday like any other, say Christmas day, no! Halloween works better. – It is a day that many are scared off and others are well prepared. Think of the hurtful things you may do to people and not think they are a big deal, well consider there being a purge and they have been waiting all year to punish you.

The purge is a fourth of similar Purge Films and it shows to what extremes humans can go if given a chance. It may relate even to what is happening in our societies where some people have a bigger say over others because of wealth and can lead to destruction any minute.
It is a fictional series complete with 10 episodes, its top cast include; Gabriel Chavarria as Miguel Amanda, Warren Amanda as Jane Barbour, Jessica Garza as Penelope, Hannah Emily Anderson as Jenna Betancourt and Colin Woodell as Rick Betancourt.
In the end, I can say it was all worth it, I got to learn so much about humanity. So let’s continue being law abiding citizens because a day like
