The Hex

About This Movie

The Hex (1983) is a curious piece of Mexican horror that really leans into that eerie, small-town vibe. It's a TV movie, so you have that classic, almost claustrophobic feel throughout. The pacing does have its lulls, but that just adds to the suspense—it’s like they’re drawing you into the dread. The practical effects are refreshing, especially considering the era, and they carry a certain charm that modern CGI often lacks. The performances can be a mixed bag, but there's something captivating about how the actors embody their roles, really immersing you in the story. It’s a unique blend of folklore and supernatural elements that gives it a distinctive flavor, making it stand out in the landscape of 80s horror.
