Hex

About This Movie

Hex (2022) is this wild, avant-garde short that dives headfirst into horror through the eyes of a child. The DV camera work adds this gritty, raw quality that really pulls you into her fear. It's unsettling, especially since the mother just sort of watches everything unfold - there's this passive vibe that hangs in the air. The witches, with their bimbo aesthetics, create a strange contrast between playful and terrifying, like a twisted fairy tale. The pacing feels deliberately disjointed, enhancing the absurdity of the situation. Practical effects, though not overdone, serve just right to amplify the surreal atmosphere. It’s definitely a unique take that lingers in your mind long after it ends.
