‘The Forever Purge’ Is Here!
This summer, all the rules are broken as a sect of lawless marauders decides that the annual Purge does not stop at daybreak and instead may never end in The Forever Purge. 2018’s The First Purge shattered records, now Blumhouse’s infamous terror franchise hurtles into innovative new territory as members of an underground movement, no longer satisfied with one annual night of anarchy and murder, decide to overtake America through an unending campaign of mayhem and massacre. And no one is safe. In the film, “Adela (Ana de la Reguera, Cowboys & Aliens) and her husband Juan (Tenoch Huerta, Days of Grace) live in Texas, where Juan is working as a ranch hand for the wealthy Tucker family.

Blu-ray Review: Initiation (2021)
When a girl is assaulted at a frat party during pledge week a series of murders strike the campus sending everyone into a panic in Initiation, from director John Berardo. One of the reasons the 90s were so epic for the horror genre was because of the amount and quality of slasher movies that were unleashed, movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream. Initiation feels like it is straight from that era, while still remaining current. Initiation delivers both great effects, an interesting story, and keeps the masked killer’s identity under wraps until the last possible moment, leaving you wondering who could be the man in the hoodie that loves power tools. And I must say, that the identity is a nice twist that I didn’t see coming, which is rare these days. As for the kills, there are several that you haven’t seen before, which is surprising seeing the number of horror movies that come
