First time I saw purification, its getting me excited that my eyes can't hardly blink. The story really emphasized the creation of a natural movie with feelings and unscripted words. People are often quick to criticize others for the sins they have committed in their lives, and often place judgment on them if they're unable or unwilling to redeem themselves. Ciminera also memorably showcased the deterioration of Bret's mental and emotional states throughout the course of "Purification" as his own past comes back to haunt him. He wants to help his brother become sober and help save their family home from going into foreclosure, but is torn over his conflicting belief that people only have themselves to blame for their difficulties. But once people are faced with correcting the mistakes they have made, they come to realize how difficult it truly is to change. If you see the full videos of this, you can think of watching these a million times with no regrets and fed-up: Saying, Is this really happening to us, of course, this will occur to anybody.
Just seen this film online. Hollywood needs to grab this director Joe Ciminera. Fine job all the way. I'm all about horror and it seemed like this movie was very different This movie is a mind twist so you will need to pay close attention Must see it if you like movies similar to the old twilight zones
I'm not sure if its in theaters anymore This was an independent movie made on a micro budget I read that there was NO script at all Seems amazing that this could be put together without one Go see it.
The acting was very good. There are only a couple of b list actors overall I thought every part held it down nicely

Purification is a great movie! It has a lot of young and up and coming actors/actresses such as Daniella Ventura who played a Great role as Chloe Fitzpatrick Bret Fitzpatrick's younger sister. The Director, writer, and lead role of this film Joe Ciminera is a great writer, director, and actor and will be making a lot more great films. Daniella Ventura is a great and amazing actress as well and will be making a lot more movies in the future. I also believe that this film is the best Horror film of 2012 and possibly the best of this decade! Overall this film is a must see and I give this film a 10/10. Trust me this is a great film.
Although the acting is a bit choppy, the storyline was really good. I don't watch too many low-budget movies, but this one is one of the more decent ones.
I can't say I found the background music too harsh; it was just right as it didn't interfere with the movie.
The acting by the main character was off a bit at times, so that you did lose that you were in the story and realized it was just a movie. I don't like that. I want to lose myself in the movie.
I can't find fault in the story itself. It was good. Although by the first third of the movie I had a feeling I knew what was going on (and I was right), it didn't take away from the story. I still wanted to know what was going to happen with this character and what he was going to do. It was frustrating at times, because I kept putting myself in his situation, where I didn't know what really was going on with me. But it came out being more like how things happen in a dream: you expect since VVV happened, then the next thing the character would NORMALLY do would be to BBB. I really wanted to get in there and shake some sense into him.
I really think you should give this movie a chance. Like I said, the acting is a little off, but don't let that hold you back from seeing a good story come to life.

I saw this movie at a local independent theater with my girlfriend. Before we paid for our tickets we looked at the posters for the movies shown there and the poster for "Purification" definitely looked the most interesting. Going into this movie I thought it would be brainless entertainment that wouldn't be great but would satisfy my crave for horror movies. I was more than surprised when I saw how awesome this movie was. The plot was original, the acting was superb and the story was a lot of fun! The writer, director and star of the film is a guy named, Joe Ciminera who has only done this movie and a few cooking shows. Hopefully, he will make more horror films like these because this film alone shows he has a lot of talent. If you haven't seen it yet, see it! Highly recommended!
