Cleanse

About This Movie

Cleanse dives deep into the psyche of a germophobe, blending an unsettling atmosphere with a slow but deliberate pacing that mirrors the protagonist's spiraling anxiety. The film’s tone is almost claustrophobic, drawing you into his obsessive world while never quite letting go. The practical effects used to represent his desperate measures are strikingly visceral, making you feel the weight of his paranoia. Performances are raw and haunting, particularly in the way they capture the fragility of mental health. The exploration of themes like fear, isolation, and the human condition is quite poignant, though it might not resonate with everyone. It’s distinctive for its focus on the psychological rather than just the physical horror.

A unique psychological approach to the horror genre.Strong themes of mental health and societal pressure.Practical effects enhance the intense atmosphere.
