The Cleanse.

When was the last time I saw Angelica Houston in a project?

It’s a lot better than what I was expecting. It’s not the best movie but a very interesting one which seem to try hard to stretch a short story into a feature, but it did not have enough meat on it.

When I read the synopsis about a group of people going to a retreat to do an experimental cleansing process which is “more than they realize” I was honestly expecting a horror film, but horror was not one of the genres listed and I thought that’s either a mistake and if it’s not, it can’t be good outside of that genre.

Not sure if I was wrong but, I’m defiantly not completely right. One of the genres was fantasy and I thought what they considered fantasy was interesting cause the cleanse from your body produced these little monsters that represent all your stress and emotional baggie. It’s kinda like Scientology in a way, almost mocking the religion, if they noticed.

I like that the creatures are real and not CGI which is a little ironic as the movie’s visual effects was done by a dude who’s name looks like George Lucas if you glace at it real quick, but it was like George Locuas or something.

So anyway, It was better than what I thought. I think it’s biggest mishap was trying to be a feature when it was not.
