What ‘The Purge’ Would Be Like In Canada (Video)
No Tim Hortons?!
Universal’s The Purge is a socially relevant and politically charged franchise, but it avoids being preachy and hides its declarations within the actions of the characters. Still, it’s interesting to see The Purge: Election Year released so closely to the tragic violence here in America – I was sure it would be delayed (bravo to Universal for rejecting fear).
It’s easy to comment on the Unites States, but what if The Purge actually took place in Canada, what would be different. The answer is amusing.
Below is a faux trailer for the Canadian Purge in which all Tim Hortons are closed, people attack with squirt guns and slapstick humor, and those in shelter unlock their doors to help out strangers. But there’s still trouble lurking around every corner as citizens illegally download movies, stick gum under the park bench, and light up in no smoking areas.
Ever wonder what “The Purge” would be like in Canada? For the next 12 hours, ALL crime is legal… Including texting and driving.
The discovery of life beyond Earth leads to paranoia and danger for a family in the new trailer for The Outer Threat.
The sci-fi thriller heads to Digital and VOD on July 10, 2026.
In The Outer Threat, “After making a groundbreaking extraterrestrial discovery, astrophysicists Daniel and Michelle are forced to flee from home with their family — pursued through the countryside by a relentless and anonymous assailant. As their flight unfolds, the line between cosmic revelation and human paranoia blurs, leading to a tense and emotional confrontation that challenges the boundaries of understanding, science, and survival.“
The film comes from writer-director William Woods and stars Constance Wu, Mark O’Brien, William Fichtner, Callista Crowe, Isaac Smelcer-Zhang, Oscar Hsu, and Murray Furrow.
Maddy Falle, Albert Shin, and Allison White produce. Executive producers include Rob McGillivray, Ben Stranahan, Tom Spriggs, John Hansen III, Patrick Vipond, Jared Blaichman, Jonah Blaichman, and Randall Okita.
The Outer Threat arrives on the heels of Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, circling similar territory. The truth about the existence of aliens leads to danger in the trailer below.
