After "The Purge - Die Räubung" playing in 2022 and the sequel "The Purge 2 - Anarchy" scheduled a year later, the series is entering a third round with "The Purge 3: Election Year". But while in the previous films the night in which everyone can murder and commit crimes with impunity for twelve hours was already established, "The Purge 3" takes a look back: The government has just passed the law that allows the citizens of the United Enables United States to Use Violence to Reduce Aggression: The first “purge” is imminent in 2018 and is scheduled to last from 21 p.m. to 7 a.m. beginning March 7. But since everything that is tried out for the first time is often still faulty, the night does not go as planned.
As with the previous two films, The Purge 3: Election Day will be directed by James DeMonaco. Outside of the 3-part film series about the “purge”, Monaco has only directed Staten Island (2009) with Ethan Hawke. For "The Purge 3" he wrote the screenplay just like parts one and two. Producers led by Jason Blum (Insidious) from Blumhouse and Michael Bay (Transformers) and Andrew Form (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) are also back on board. "The Purge" and "The Purge: Anarchy" were so successful as horror films that a horror experience labyrinth was built in Los Angeles called "The Purge: Fear The Night". In the meantime, the third part was supposed to be called "The Purge 3: Vengeance", but in the end it became "The Purge: Election Day" in our latitudes.
