Balkan Castevet

Exorcism-themed horror which, however, differs from many films of the genre, seeking its own way outside of the many other films that overuse the topic. The film is in fact a criticism of the social world, of influencers but also of a certain fan base." Father" Max, the protagonist, is the frontman of the production who films exorcists, clearly fake, but passed off as real where he also sells various gadgets to the spectators. When the crew is faced with the real demon, the latter will play with them, especially in the two key characters, namely Max and Drew, the director-organizer of the production. The demon will lay them bare, will make them confess in front of everyone not only the truths of their videos but also their secrets. The spectators who are growing more and more during the live broadcast, during the massacres and revelations, it highlights an audience that only wants the shock element. The film focuses a lot on the double ends of the demon, on what he really wants, on his mindgames. The director is LeVeck, his work is good and recommended A Creature Was Stirring, in this film shows a good dose of blood, which doesn't hurt, and a use of the grotesque that helps not to take a film that would otherwise be a bit "delirious" too seriously. Very funny when Lane , Drew's girlfriend, possessed will say "guys don't do drugs". LeVeck also shows a passion for creatures, monsters, as can also be seen from A Creature Was Stirring. In The Cleansing Hour it must be said that in the third act when once the creature is shown, unfortunately it will be full of CGI, ugly and therefore invasive, this detracts from the staging and in general the management of the creation of the final army could have been managed better with more force and more crudeness shown. The major flaw of the film however is that overall there isn't any kind of atmosphere, the story proceeds with mindgames Read all
