Another successful "exorcism" streamed online - or so it seems. Can the "exorcist", producer and their team bring the ratings up? Ratings skyrocket, when a real demon gets involved.

The Cleansing Hour Ratings & Reviews
Erick Gonzalez
May 24, 2025
Great movie.
Rue Morgue Magazine
Rocco T. Thompson
As substantial as a communion wafer and marginally more enjoyable than Sunday school, The Cleansing Hour feels torn between a funhouse style sensibility and the pretense of "saying something."
We Who Walk Here
Jessica Scott
The Cleansing Hour, a grisly shocker anchored by terrific performances and deadpan humor, adds a modern twist to the possession story and uses the living embodiment of evil to highlight the dangers of social media.
Discussing Film
Nicolás Delgadillo
It's admirable just how much the film runs with its concept and takes it through original, and often hysterical, twists and turns.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
A well-conceived, well-executed horror movie... a worthy entry in both the exorcism and Internet subgenres.
Strange Harbors
Jeffrey Zhang
The Cleansing Hour leafs through the trope book with a demonically straight face
Common Sense Media
JK Sooja
Gory exorcism tale has graphic violence, strong language.
Dread Central
Drew Tinnin
Since demons don't necessarily stand out in Hell, some of them crave the spotlight just as much as us insecure humans do.

Peter Sobczynski
The Cleansing Hour isn't awful, but if you were asked to come up with a genuinely positive thing to say about it, even the most forgiving of souls will find themselves coming up short.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a lamentable misfire that probably, one would assume, worked much better as a 19 minute short.
Thrillist
Scott Weinberg
Most horror fans have seen more than enough possession stories by now, so it's a good thing this quick and creative chiller has a few new wrinkles to throw our way.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
The social media angle is instantly dated and yet the film still feels tediously beholden to generic tropes.
What To Watch
Matt Donato
'The Cleansing Hour' exorcises an overdone horror subgenre of its staleness in an exceptionally entertaining spectacle of profiteering prophets and merciless hoofed tormentors.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
A film that is fun, frightening, and smugly surprising, especially as it strides smoothly into a final beat that will leave you drop-jawed.
Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam
Charles Koplinski
Had Horwitz and LeVeck kept things on a modest scale, confining the action to the single set where the show is produced, they might have had a classic, horrific chamber piece on their hands. Too bad the third act is filled with unnecessary tangents.
Film Threat
Lorry Kikta
It's a surprising, extraordinary possession film in a sea of overdone, hackneyed, boring possession films that have been made relentlessly since after The Exorcist.
The Spool
Matt Cipolla
When the movie works, it's a modest enough riff on The Evil Dead with some fittingly squeamish body horror . . . [but it's] too bare in ideas and execution to stick the landing.
Cultured Vultures
Jay Krieger
A 21st century technology spin gives life to a boilerplate exorcism film that, while light on big scares, has strong production value.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Overall it has a cheap and cheerful vibe despite its dark themes. It may not be the most sophisticated horror film you'll see this year, but it knows how to entertain.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Amelia Emberwing
It plays it straight and has a hell of a lot of fun while doing it.
