Horror Weekly News: Purge 6 in the works. Ryan Phillippe stars in thriller One Mile.

 

You have one night to do whatever you want. Crime is legal for the next 12 hours. What would you do? Commit a crime or save yourself from others who will? 

The Purge was a franchise that began in 2013. It’s concept was what made it a popular movie among horror fans. Crime? Legal for twelve hours? What kind of a world would that be?

Well, according to the movie, the Purge is what could keep a country crime-free should people get to enact and unleash their deepest desires. Just get it out of their systems. Something like a catharsis. 

The scary part is, no one is deemed trustworthy anymore. Not your best friend or your neighbor. After all, you never know what one person is actually thinking or capable of. And if that person even likes you in the first place. 

Five parts and a TV show later, THE PURGE is still not over. 

There will be a sixth film in the franchise and we will see the return of Frank Grillo who plays Leo Barnes, a sergeant whose son was killed in a drunk driving incident. He waits until the annual Purge to get revenge on the man responsible, only to spare him in the end. 

In the following parts, Leo Barnes becomes chief of security for a senator and after the events in The Purge: Election Year, he is appointed Director of Secret Service. 

The sixth film, still untitled will focus on Leo Barnes as he navigates through a global Purge situation. 

Will Leo Barnes survive? This may be the last Purge movie after all…

In other news…

Road trips can be dangerous and hence should never be used as a catalyst to mend relationships. Because that is when scary things happen. 

ONE MILE follows the story of a man who has just been set free from prison. He wants to reconnect with his daughter who has obviously distanced herself from him following his arrest. 

He offers to take her on a college tour and she agrees, but as they drive past the woods, something in there puts their lives in danger. Turns out a murderous cult targets father and daughter, and it is up to the father to protect his daughter at all costs. 

Ryan Phillipe stars in this and since he has been signed onto the sequel as well, and it is being shot back to back, we can safely presume that the father survives in this movie. 

But…what about the daughter? 

No further details have been revealed yet.
