The First Purge is a thriller film/fantasy written by James DeMonaco and directed by Gerard McMurray. The movie is set primarily in Park Hill, a predominantly black neighborhood on the North Shore of Staten Island with growing Asian and Hispanic communities. The movie turns one night on Staten Island into a compression of the last few years of real-world American horror. It is a prequel showing exactly how “the purge began”.

[“ I think the purge is a way of showing us what will happen in the near future”, Aiyah Vickers stated.” But the real purpose of the purge was something way different. The purge is a movement that began as a simple experiment to push crime rates below one percent, for the rest of the year. Without giving too much away, the experiment doesn’t go as projected.The people of Staten Island serve as its test subjects. In the movie The New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community.
There are four films filled with bloodshed and brutality of the Purge: The Purge, The Purge Anarchy, The Purge Election Year, The First Purge, and a TV series.The first three Purge movies were written and directed by James DeMonaco.

The Purge movies are all dark and point out America’s most infamous traits and the worst aspects of America. The sequels have expanded in range and centered more on fleshing out the universe of The Purge and the difference between those who adopt the holiday and those who like to see it stop. “It was a lot more violence than the other films because the story was based in one city”, Mikyah McClain proclaimed. The First Purge abandons restraint and makes more direct links to recent events than the other films.The previous Purge films straddled a line between amusement and political comment. “The First Purge is a good political movie with trills, kills, good characters and development and has a good flow to it,” Aiyah Vickers exclaims.
