Last Updated on August 5, 2021

After making a killing at the box office (at least compared to its minuscule budget), THE PURGE is ready to invade your home. Universal Studios has just announced that the James DeMonaco film will debut on Blu-ray/DVD/VOD on October 8th. Just in time for… well, you know.

Right now the only special feature known is:

– Surviving The Night: The Making of The Purge—In this exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, viewers discover how an act of road rage inspired writer and director James DeMonaco to create The Purge, what attracted the cast to the project and how the world of 2022 depicted in the film mirrors the world today. Featuring exclusive interviews with stars Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Adelaide Kane, Max Burkholder and Edwin Hodge, this featurette asks the question: What would it take for The Purge to become reality?

If you could commit any crime without consequences, what would you do? From the producer of Paranormal Activity and Sinister comes an inventive thriller that dares you to survive the most dangerous night in America—The Purge—when all crime is legal for 12 hours. When an intruder breaks into James Sandin’s (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he sets in motion a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey) and their children to make it through the night without turning into the monsters they are hiding from.
