This is a nice little European horror movie, with a potential to develop a bit of cult following. the whole thing has weird and slightly psychodelic atmosphere. there are plenty of scenes that are shot from unusual angles, or distorted through objects like glass bottles etc. the music is nice and it fits the atmosphere. the acting is mostly over the top, with a couple of ridiculous supporting characters. the movie could use a subtitles though - or not - depending on if you want to take it seriously, or just have some mindless fun with it.
Watched this one yesterday. It was stressful! I read some negative reviews but i think we need more unique stories like this one.
I think this movie is one you will love or not. This isn't a slasher screaming teen movie - it takes watching and some ability to think a little. It was a great idea with tons of potential. The protagonist had a single layer of depth, which you do not find out about until towards the end. 7/10

I'm surprised that nobody thinks this movie was intentionally made this bad to serve as a parody of horror movies in general. Those last few scenes seem pretty parodic to me.
I really enjoy it to watch this movie!! This movie is not without its flaws in logic and plot, but in what it attempts to do, it's incredibly successful. A great and solid indie-horror movie in time for Halloween.
As a horror film, C.L.E.A.N. works fine and creates an atmosphere that is so rare in films nowadays.
Performance-wise, Tom Sizemore steals most scenes, filling them with a patented loony, off-the-wall performance. Costas Mandylor gives the best performance of his career, he portraying Dr. Sutter as a simple, poignant, tragic everyman.
Equally good is Jenny Paris as Alice. She holds her own, injecting her character with both wild energy and strength as she collapses under the weight of what she comes to believe. And Vjekoslav Katusin is an especially convincing Satan. He is devilish, with fiendish appeal, proving that tranquillity is the most terrifying evil.

Well, it is. Tom Sizemore is a useless Manager replacement. I have never been impressed with this bloke and this film has done nothing to change my view.
I can't really say that I like C.L.E.A.N., but it has enough crazy, mystery and goofy sequences (especially, the basement scenes and the final) to make it a mildly entertaining guilty pleasure.

- TriviaIn 2016, Axel Melzner, who works for Dream Team Pictures, recommended the renowned screenwriter Konstantin Georgiou, who studied at the New York Film Academy, for the realization of the "C.L.E.A.N" script. Inspired by films such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers, the credits refer to an antagonist who will play a leading role in future film productions. C.L.E.A.N. is therefore intended as a prequel for the upcoming film "The Vultures are waiting", which is to become a modern western in the style of Desperado with Antonio Banderas.
The location that was chosen for C.L.E.A.N. is an urban villa in the Croatian coastal town Pula on the Istrian peninsula. The Bunker Studios in Serbia were jointly responsible for the CGI.
