The Cleansing Hour is a 2019 American horror film directed by Damien LeVeck about a staged televised exorcism that takes a nefarious turn.

In reality each possession is fake, as they are carefully scripted and orchestrated to entice viewers to like and follow their videos and purchase goods.

Drew's fiancée Lane is unhappy but supportive, even going so far as to agree to step in as the possessed person when the actor for their current episode doesn't show.

Both he and Drew attended the same Catholic school as children, where they were frequently beaten by a sadistic nun while she castigated them for real or imagined sins.

As the viewer count rises, Drew realizes that the demon is using the stream for its own purposes and cuts the feed, assuming that its desire is to humiliate the Catholic church.

[5][7] Outlets such as Bloody Disgusting, SciFiNow, and Rue Morgue criticized the movie as not bringing enough novel elements to make it stand out from other, similar possession films such as The Exorcist.
