It's kind of horrifying when dystopian fiction ekes closer to reality, and with the likes of The Handmaid's Tale becoming a crossover hit in the US, it's no surprise that The Purge is getting on the action as well.

The first poster and trailer arrived online last night for the prequel, imaginatively titled The First Purge, and it's pretty chilling in both its accuracy and its prescience. The trailer debuted RIGHT AFTER the State of the Union Address by Donald Trump, and promptly caused waves on social media.

Take a look and see for yourself.

Just to drive home the Trump parallels, here's the poster. Also, we're pretty sure the guy in that trailer is the guy from Honest Trailers.

The First Purge hits Ireland on July 6th.
