“Cleaning Lady” is an RJLE Film that was based on a short film of the same name. It begins with Alice and Michael in bed after sleeping together. Michael is married, while Alice is in sex addiction therapy, trying to move on from Michael since she doesn’t want to be a home-wrecker. She encounters a clogged bathtub in her apartment and calls for maintenance, leading her to meet Shelly.
Shelly, a maintenance worker, fixes Alice’s sink, and Alice offers her a job which Shelly accepts. Shelly, who bears severe facial scars from a traumatic incident in her youth when she was attacked and raped by a man (who she later stabbed), becomes increasingly fixated on Alice. This fixation starts with Shelly watching Alice while she bathes. Eventually, Shelly drugs Alice and creates a mask of her face to resemble her. It’s worth noting that Shelly has her mother chained up in her living quarters within a junkyard.
The movie is a highly intense psychological thriller, and it’s fascinating to experience a horror film that doesn’t rely on supernatural elements or creatures. It features some genuinely gruesome moments, such as when Shelly pours acid down Michael’s throat.
I would rate it 9/10.
