11th Hour Cleaning

Decent very low budget horror flick. It doesn't reinvent the wheel but it's better than some other reviews say. The plot could certainly use more expansion but for what it is - a cheap, straight to VOD indie horror movie- it's ok. It kept my attention, which is more than I can say for several other recent releases with much higher budgets.

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.

A biohazard removal crew go to the site of a multiple murder/suicide to clean up the mess; while there, supernatural stuff starts to happen. When they try to escape from the house, they find all exits barred. Then more spooky stuff happens, none of which makes any sense. After a couple of the crew are killed, those left find some cheesy explanation for the occurrences - A Nordic demon is in the house - and more stuff happens. The only chance for survival is to find some ancient runic stones and destroy them-but the demon is too powerful. Cue end credits, during which some more stuff happens.

A flimsy plot stretched out to just about feature length by loads of random shizz (and some clichéd relationship drama), clumsy direction, and passable effects: Murder House (AKA 11th Hour Cleaning) is generic, forgettable low-budget horror that struggles to hold one's attention, even at a very short run-time of just 73 minutes (with at least six of those being the end credits). The cast do a reasonable job considering the hokeyness of the script, but at the end of the day, this film does nothing that we haven't seen many times before, and it doesn't do it very well.

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.

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!
