The Cleansing Hour
Two millennial entrepreneurs stage elaborate fake exorcisms on social media until one of their girlfriends becomes possessed by a demon.
Why it matters
A sharp twist on the exorcism subgenre that blends social media satire with demon possession dread.
- Practical effects and gore deliver satisfying shocks, elevating a contained, single-location setup.
- Explores millennial culture’s obsession with online fame through a darkly clever premise.
- Balances genuine tension with moments that flirt with parody—polarizing but never dull.
- Ideal for fans of supernatural horror with a modern commentary edge, though patience is required for its slow-build approach.
