The Cleansing Hour

Before watching this film, I prepared myself for the worst as I do with most films of this genre. That said, I actually was surprised by how thoughtful this film is. The actors do a good job selling the intelligently written script. The visual effects are decently done for its budget, and I appreciated the commentary this film made. It includes all the gore and mayhem people view these types of films for, but with the added benefit of social commentary that basically warns people to maintain their humanity, integrity and wits while on-line. The group-think or mob mentality is addressed as well as consequences for actions, motivation and words that people often use social media platforms for.

Bottom line, I recommend horror fans check this one out, because I truly believe it's an entertaining film that will also speak to people in ways they never would have thought possible from the supernatural horror genre. Kudos to the filmmakers, I look forward to more from them.

This is one of the better straight forward horror movies of recent times. It is what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else.

The story and production are solid and the acting superb.

Well worth watching if you are a horror fan.

When i am out of popular horror movie titles to watch i always resort to as what i call "Failsafe horrors".The term reffers to "promising(in my taste)" movies under 1000 reviews on IMDB. I have to say i wasn't expecting much from this movie but it actually kept me glued to the screen. Beginning is meh-in a sense like all these horror films start with the same story, mid-movie was great and the big finale was WT?!? All in all i have to say it was worth watching and i really enjoyed it!

Great cast. Started off well. I loved that thing in the alley. Where the horror experience went wrong for me was that the possession was like full on exposure- there was no creepy mystery to it. Initially the voice and appearance were very effective but I want haunting snippets of that horrible old woman voice to send a chill down my spine. Not full, direct conversations with it as it loses its scare factor.

What a pleasant surprise! Almost the entire movie in a room, with a premise "from pranksters to reality" that we have seen numerous time, so, I was not expecting to be so surprised by this.

There are some parts a bit over the top (when Drew is confessing about the profits or after he knows about...something), but, overall, the acting was very good. Some people complained about the CGI, but I liked, it had a bit of that vibe of those 80s/90s movies we would rent on a Friday night and would surprise us (the movie, itself, remind us a lot of classics, like The Exorcist or The Omen). The pacing is usually a big problem on movies with a low budget in a single room, but here it works really well and the ending is perfect - one of the best endings I've seen in the last years and (will say it again) bringing back that nostalgia again. And those ending credits, oh man!

Very curious to check what this Director will give us next.
