The Cleansing Hour

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!

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.

When i am out of popular horror movie titles to watch i always resort to as what i call "Failsafe horrors".The term reffers to "promising(in my taste)" movies under 1000 reviews on IMDB. I have to say i wasn't expecting much from this movie but it actually kept me glued to the screen. Beginning is meh-in a sense like all these horror films start with the same story, mid-movie was great and the big finale was WT?!? All in all i have to say it was worth watching and i really enjoyed it!

Whilst I would define this as a B grade film its the best of B. The Cleansing Hour takes a simple but well considered premise and builds a highly entertaining film around it.

It amps up the excitement and horror, degree by devilish degree, even managing to build in wider plot elements, that cleverly leads to a satisfying ending.

The special effects are nothing special but they are not dreadful either. The acting is above average for a film with this kind of budget. Its to the actors credit they do such an excellent job of convincingly carrying this decent little horror thriller.

I say this quite a lot but I really think the future of entertainment is not big budget flicks but smaller studios and modest productions. They don't have money to burn, so they take extra care with the limited resources they have, to craft something worthwhile. The Cleansing Hour is one such example.

7/10 from this happy viewer.

Compared to most of the horrors You see these days, this one delivered. Decent acting, CGI pulled off right and a compelling story line. Most importantly, it had me watching with constant entertainment. With no big names or high budget marketing, this movie really did surprise. Heavily recommend it for horror fans.
