25 Movie Sequels That Will Kick Ass In 2018

25. The First Purge

As well as taking aim at the quickly spiralling decline of Western civilization in their political commentary horror series, Blumhouse and Universal are using The First Purge - their prequel to the successful mainline films, newly renamed - to get a little of that delicious Trump heat with their delightful poster.

It's a bold move, being so brazen, but it should definitely pay off given the attention it's already attracted. The only worry is that some people might see the cap and think this is genuinely a documentary.

Which it might be in retrospect in a couple of years.

Anyway, the film will tell the story of - you guessed it - the first Purge, to chart the story of how it became a yearly tradition. Hopefully, that means it will get back to what made the first film so good, rather than it getting too bogged down in the politics or rebellion. Allegory shouldn't be too far away, but a purer horror film would be very welcome.
