Shane Black is going back home to revive the dormant franchise with The Predator, a big-budget sequel/reboot that aims for the stars and falls far, far too short.
The Nun is the fifth film in the series, the second spin-off film, and probably the movie with the least amount of narrative substance given its starting material.
BlackkKlansman and Sorry to Bother You are each unique and fun but with larger messages to say about the black experience and other fissures within our volatile society.
This is the first Purge movie to exist in the era of President Donald J. Trump, and that has made the films more political and even more oddly relevant.
