The Cleansing Hour	comment	The Cleansing Hour is a 2020 Shudder Original.Long time friends and entrepreneurs Max and Drew have a webcast show, the titular Cleansing Hour, where they perform fake exorcisms while millions of viewers across the world watch. But one night, they bite off more than they can chew, and catch the attention of a real demon who wants Max to confess his sins.

At the end, he smiles when he sees that he's been verified, even though the entire world has probably just fallen into chaos.

The Cleansing Hour / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: It couldn't possibly be more of one if it tried! Satan's plan to get enough airtime to initiate The End of the World as We Know It has most likely succeeded, with millions of people the world over having been driven to murderous rampages. Additionally, Max seems to have learned absolutely nothing from the torments that he's been through, still being a self-absorbed asshole who doesn't seem to care at all that the world has been plunged into chaos, because he got his blue Twitter checkmark.

He seems to at first be trying to force Max to confess his wrongs, but he brutally kills several of his crew members and repeatedly threatens to kill the innocent Lane. Then any traces of the "noble" part is averted wholesale with The Reveal that it was all a gambit by Satan to bring the human race to its knees.

Millions of Max's viewers possessed, going on worldwide rampages, even the president of the United States is murdered by his own son. It's pretty safe to assume that the world is screwed. A man holding up a sign in the end credits spells it out in case it wasn't obvious already.
