    Nice twist and a great ending

    Not your typical run-of-the-mill horror story. This one has substance and great special effects. Acting was average but still was effective. Recommended!

    Kind of a hidden gem to be honest

    In the first 10 minutes I had a feeling this was gonna be a lame movie. I was then pleasantly surprised as I enjoyed the rest of the movie way more than I expected going into a 6-rated movie.

    Most of the scenes are in the same setting but it does a good job of jumping to at first not so seemingly relevant scenes as well and as the movie goes provides a cool collage of what all is happening. You'll better understand what I mean when you watch it.

    This isn't just a horror movie whose sole purpose is to provide some scares. It actually has a deep social message and has got to be one of the few horror movies that actually had me thinking introspectively. It also has a couple of interesting twists.

    All in all, thoroughly enjoyed this thought provoking horror and would 100% recommend.

    Quite good

    This is one of the better straight forward horror movies of recent times. It is what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else.

    The story and production are solid and the acting superb.

    Well worth watching if you are a horror fan.

    Unexpectedly fun time

    I didn't know what to expect going into this, but The Cleansing Hour was a great time. Funny, intense, and with a smart plot, it's definitely worth watching. It goes off the rails in the third act but this movie is best enjoyed when you just go along for the ride.

    It's worth watching if you like horror and a good exorcism movie. I quite enjoyed the fact that most of the film takes place in one location, making it all feel more intimidate despite hundreds of thousands of people joining the stream.

    Watch it without the intention of picking it apart and you'll have a great time. It's not a masterpiece, but it's lots of fun.

    Most definitely above the curve

    You have to give this one points for originality. I think with a slightly larger budget this could have been a 10 out of 10 but damn it didnt stop me from enjoying this movie. Acting was outstanding and the story that pacing was perfect. There's a million possession films that have been done to death but this breathes some new life in a way that I havent seen since Emily Rose. I will definitely be recommending this one to other horror enthusiasts. God damn you gotta give a round of applause to the director and cast. I was really worried this one was gonna get real campy and the cliches would start rolling but once it gets going it doesn't let go of you.
