Cleanse(2020)

Cleanse is a Swedish horror film that traps a mother and her young son in a bathhouse when the doors lock and staff vanish without explanation. Stina and Mateus find themselves confined with other women in an increasingly claustrophobic setting, cut off from the outside world. As tension mounts and the mystery deepens, the film explores the psychological strain of captivity and the maternal instinct to protect a child in an inexplicable crisis. The sparse cast and single location create an intimate, unsettling atmosphere that builds dread through isolation rather than overt violence. What begins as a routine visit becomes a nightmare of survival and uncertainty.
