The Purge creator James DeMonaco recently acknowledged that some of the dystopian horror franchise’s fans completely misunderstood its core message.DeMonaco expressed dismay that social commentary in The Purge movies and TV show went over some viewers’ heads in an interview with Collider. “I think the biggest thing over the course of all the Purge films is that there’s a portion of the audience, I don’t think it’s big — I pray it’s not big — that doesn’t see that I’m telling this morality play that the Purge is a very bad thing,” he said. “And that’s where it gets very strange. Some people see it as this odd wish fulfillment.” DeMonaco added that the idea that anyone could consider a Purge-like night of lawlessness appealing was “very scary” to him.DeMonaco’s reservations over the reception to The Purge and its sequels haven’t deterred him from developing another entry in the franchise, though. The filmmaker, who wrote all five Purge movies and directed the first three, confirmed in June 2023 that the script for The Purge 6 is already finished. DeMonaco also revealed that the as-yet-untitled sixth installment will see Frank Grillo reprise the Leo Barnes role, and teased the film’s premise. “It’s not completely different than previous movies, but it’s a new America that we’re entering into… we’ve broken apart and the state of discord is at its worst. We enter the Purge in that world,” he said.Related: The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri Is Ready to Join a Major Horror Franchise
