New Movie Trailers: A New 'Purge,' 'Hardcore Harry,' And More [VIDEOS]

It was a big week for trailers, with lots of first looks via Super Bowl 50, plus a final trailer on Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Fortunately, the studios decided to keep the momentum going with some more fun surprises. Here’s a franchise going on that we didn’t even know about, plus a look at a very smart indie horror movie, and some more general mayhem…

The Purge: Election Year

We didn’t even know a new Purge film was coming on July 4th, but now we know what we’re doing that day. It looks like The Purge: Election Year is continuing the same heavy-handed politics of The Purge: Anarchy, though — with Frank Grillo returning as the vengeful dad who discovered forgiveness one sentimental Purge Night.

Also, you’re a cyborg on the run from the bad guys, and you get goaded to go spill more blood even though you’re already hurt really bad….

The Witch

And here’s a little thriller that we highly recommend — about a Puritan family who encounters some really horrific creeping dread at their farm in New England. Don’t go looking for plot twists. Just enjoy the slow burn as things keep getting worse for the poor people who don’t know what’s in the woods. You shouldn’t know, either..
