It’s not uncommon for sequels to be prequels in order to keep a movie franchise going but the makers of The First Purge did themselves no favors by trying to show how this event began because their story and execution of it (see what I did there?) was just bad. I’ve seen a couple of the Purge movies, The Forever Purge being most recent, and for what these movies are, the makers of The First Purge could have done so much better.

Just try harder, ok? Is that too much to ask?
