"The Cleaning Lady" 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠
This film is a very average horror flick. One of the other reviews said it was disgusting so I couldn't wait to check it out, unfortunately that was an obnoxious and baseless mischaracterization. Albeit the quality was better than a made for TV movie but it wasn't even explicit enough to be rated PG-13. The mystery vanishes after the first 20 minutes and it's just not original enough to garner any sort of praise. The acting was ok & the film is well paced so it does keep your attention but it doesn't push the envelope at all, showcasing various awkward scenes that telegraph exactly where this film was headed. All in all not the worst but nothing amazing, super creepy or grotesque. A time killer at best.
I don't write a lot of reviews, but this is a good one worth reviewing. Had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The atmosphere is ominous and creepy. I feel like I need a shower afterwards, but i like that from my horror movies.
If you like indie horror with gore, you should watch. It's worth your time.

This is the tale of a two troubled women, one addicted to love and one with darker troubles. As they start a stuttering friendship, dark secrets begin to emerge.
Granted I went into watching this with very low expectations. That said, this movie was a pleasant surprise. The plotting was a thin, but not terrible. The acting was fine bordering on good from the two leads. Competent cinematography and directing.

Now this is not the first movie and it won't be the last where Obsession gets the better of people. And while it does have some twists and turns that are, not unique, but still mesmerizing and tension filled, it is not really the best or prime example in that category. On the other hand it is also not the worst of movies I've seen on that topic.
The acting is decent overall, decisions may feel wrong (they are), especially from our main character, but nothing that should make you too angry about the whole movie. Always considering the circumstances and the fact this is a movie and that it has to have some force and something that drives the whole thing forward. If thrillers are generally your thing, that will help with your viewing pleasure - if not you may not really be into this at all

This was not the film I expected but I liked it. It's low budget but done really well. The actors were decent and the story was different. My only complaint is that the pace is slow. Glad I watched it.
