Johnny Galecki (TV’s “Big Bang Theory) plays Paul Berger, an unemployed, down and out, heartbroken man searching for happiness. When Paul sees an ad for a spiritual retreat promising to restart your life, he immediately signs up, hoping to cleanse himself and fix his broken life. But after only a few days, he discovers the cleanse is releasing more than just everyday toxins… a lot more. Starring Oliver Platt and Academy Award® Winner, Anjelica Huston as the leaders of the retreat, The Cleanse is a darkly humorous, weird, and soulful fantasy that examines the inner demons in all of us.
Seemingly channelling the Lobster and the Shape of Water, The Cleanse is the latest in the film world’s fascination with cheeky, spooky, star-studded flicks. Not only do we have a kinda cute gray blob monster that presumably came out of Johnny Galecki’s intestines, but we also a creepy long-fingered monster-esque creature and a shrieking Anjelica Huston. Will there be more laughs or screams?
The Cleanse comes to theaters and streaming platforms on May 4.
