The Cleansing Hour
“The perfect internet hoax just went to hell”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 62, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A fake livestreamed exorcism becomes real, leaving its entrepreneurial hosts badly underqualified for the evening. Their audience keeps growing while the demon takes control of the production. Sharp comic turns and serious consequences make this a lively pick for anyone who enjoys watching a fraud lose the script.
