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

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!
I just read on IMDb that Joseph Ciminera who played Bret & directed this movie has his own cooking show on PBS which I thought was cool.Anyways, Talk about weird, Purification was a weird movie.I felt like I was watching an episode of The Twilight Zone (A 1 hour & 23 minutes episode) for mostly all of the movie then at the very end, It seemed to go religious on me.I don't know if Purification was suppose to be a horror flick, a movie with a hidden message or a horror movie with a hidden message (Maybe somebody can explain it to me) The best thing about Purification was Joeseph Ciminera's character Bret.He played a straight up D-Bag A-Hole & he played it well.He's a guy you LOVE to HATE.I don't know if this is a movie that's worth taking a looking at but I do know if this is a movie you do take a look at, You won't be looking at it more than once
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE RATINGS THAT GIVE THIS MOVIE 10/10!! I fully believe that these are friends or people with a vested interest in this "film". The acting is laughable; the plot is predictable; and u will definitely lose a few brain cells if u even make it to the end...I checked out in about 25 mins into the movie because I couldn't allow myself to watch such a joke..let me be nice..this might be a high school senior project or just a wannabe M Night Shymalan (forgive me if it's misspelled)...Please people..don't do it to yourselves and don't get sucked into that 10/10 hype..it is hands down the most bootleg no budget having movie I have ever not watched in its entirety.
