11th Hour Cleaning

I have to admit that I initially liked the cover/poster for this 2022 horror movie titled "11th Hour Cleaning". And as I sat down to watch this movie from writers Eric R. Brodeur, Ty Leisher and Ed Morrone, I did so without ever having heard about the movie. But the cover was interesting and it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen was sufficient to make me give the movie a chance.

Well, "11th Hour Cleaning" was a pretty bland horror experience. Director Ty Leisher didn't really bring anything new to the genre, and the script was fairly mundane, generic and predictable. So you're not in for a grand horror experience when you sit down to watch "11th Hour Cleaning".

The acting performances in "11th Hour Cleaning" were adequate. Nothing outstanding or noteworthy. The cast ensemble were all unfamiliar actors and actresses for me, which is usually something I enjoy in movies. However, the cast didn't really have all that much to work with in terms of interesting characters, riveting dialogue or plot.

For a horror movie then "11th Hour Cleaning" was pretty stale. It wasn't scary, it wasn't overly entertaining, and there were no scenes to give you any shocks.

Sure, the visual effects in the movie were actually fair, but special effects can only do so much to make up for other shortcomings in a movie.

If you enjoy horror cinema, then "11th Hour Cleaning" is not a movie that I would recommend you rush out to get a chance to watch.

My rating of "11th Hour Cleaning" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

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.

Horror movie of 2022. As soon as the movie starts, you realize that the movie is amateur and bad because the shooting is done with a very bright and lively lens. Acting also serves this amateurism a lot. Also the animations are very simple.

As for the movie, the man who owns a body cleaning company gets a call in the middle of the night. There was a family massacre in a house. She asks the man to clean the house until morning. The man takes his wife, brother-in-law and another employee and goes to the cleaners. But there is a curse in the house.

There is no sex or nudity in the movie. But there is no purpose.

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!

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.
