11th Hour Cleaning

For what it is, it's not a bad movie. The potential was there for more. I have seen other people say that thing is horrible and some say it's great. I think the mix on opinions is because some of the actors really were good, but one of the female actors, was not. The plot was interesting enough, but one of the annoying things for me was, they were wearing hazmat suits, and the amount of times they took their masks off. If they have to wear it, and work truly concerned they wouldn't be taking them off every other minute to talk. Once the movie gets really going it hits a good stride, But then loses a lot of steam at the end. I don't think it was explained well enough and the special effects on the bad thing were not great. The infighting between the characters was a little annoying between me, and the technical part about cleaning didn't seem real enough, but for a cheap little hard movie it's not bad. Keep my attention anyway. The ending was just a little rough for me.

The movie at about 1:15 minutes long, and wastes a good amount of that in subplots concerning personal issues in the lives of the 4 protagonists.

When the horror starts to appear the movie finds it stride, but every now and them it goes back to the sub plots as if they mattered when their existence and sanity is at stake. Takes you out of the moment.

The movie is a low budget affair, with minimal special effects.

Actors are better than the movie.

It is almost scary.

Almost ok.

Ending feels like they ran out of time and decided lets just end it here. And the ending is dumb.

Not worth the bother.

For a low budget movie, it looks good visually. Was fun to watch, as a supernatural horror movie. There are 4 main characters, although I only cared about 1 of them. The characters argue about their own personal issues while the main storyline is starting. This is a haunted house vibe, claustrophobic energy. The movie is only 1 hour and 11 minutes long so quite short, and the acting is quite good. There are some enjoyable plot twists, however there will be times you will feel annoyed at the way the story is going, only for it to be a hallucination to throw you off. Characters will make annoying decisions and it feels like the build up is better than the actual ending, although the very last scene before the first credits make up for it. There is also one more scene post credits that sets up for a sequel. If you are into supernatural/haunted house vibe then you may enjoy this. It was fun to watch!

11th Hour Cleaning does not reinvent the haunted house movie, but what it does, it does well. Obviously low budget, it was still well filmed and interesting , with great performances from the 4 main leads. I like that we were allowed to get to know the characters, this is not a bunch of teens, but about real everyday people, and that was a nice change. It was amazingly short, in fact a friend I watched it with liked it enough to want it to go on longer. I think the film makers and actors succeeded in making a good horror film on a small budget. Worth a watch.

The Nordic mythology element ought to be interesting (at least to me) but it was poorly explained and the movie shifts its focus on one sentence character stories which are even worse :/ Good idea, horrible execution. Not worth your hour if you're looking at reviews for such reasons :-) Maybe if the movie would have been longer logical plot holes and such would be more bearable to watch. A shame nothing was properly explained, because the low budget has nothing to do with storytelling itself.
