The Hexecutioners

The story centres on two young women recruited into a euthanasia company; Malison, (Liv Collins) a timid girl who does it because she needs the money; and Olivia, a cynical street-wise woman who, well, just does it. The job in hand just happens to be at the usual creepy Gothic mansion, overseen by the usual creepy keeper, Edgar, (Tim Burd) who instructs the women that the death must be carried out to a strict ritual.

It should be said that there is no problem with the acting which is superb, even by the minor characters, but some of the CGI is not so good and then there is the supernatural element when faceless figures appear and then there is the little girl. Also, some things do not add up. For instance, rooms which are pitch black suddenly have lots of lit candles - how does that happen? The ending, for me anyway, did not make much sense, but by then I was losing interest. A pity because it could have been different.

So I watched this movie with a guarded reviewers mind because I was fed words like boring and having no point. Well those who felt that way in my opinion were 50% on point because the movie was definitely not boring. The movie starts off with a couple quick scares that were pretty creepy in the first 10 mins. Liv Collins plays the lead and has one of those faces that is very recognizable but you have no idea where you've seen her before,and Sarah Power who has been in some very popular movies American Pie being one of them, Shows us she has a lot of hidden talent along with her Beautiful looks.The acting,writing and score was all above average and quite enjoyable. Every character thru the first half had a witty dialogue that was lightly comedic at times.The pace of the movie was also fine and had pretty good mystery injected into the storyline. And that's where it all starts to crumble bringing me back to the other 50% of having no point or a very unfulfilling storyline. A sky burial was something I heard of but never really did any investigating on the ritual, it's pretty disturbing and knowing that some tribes or abarrigian people still carryout this Tibetan style burial is mind blowing, The problem with this movie was the fact we really don't get the right information as to why this is even taking place along with other characters popping up saying a few words and then disappearing. It's also unclear as to why a character can go from being frightened by everything in their surroundings and then a minute later wants to explore every creepy room they come too. Too many other characters were a mystery and remained that way confusing the watcher even more. I give it a 4/10 I wouldn't highly recommend this movie but it was OK to watch a good original idea and good film quality but the actions of some of the characters and story line was completely Horrific and not in the good way👎.

I like this film, because it is a good surprise to me; I mean the scheme, the plot, that you won't see anywhere. That's what I expect the most in a film: being surprised. But the horror element was too much for my taste, I quite did not follow everything and the overall result is not my cup of tea. However, I repeat, this plot remains interesting, and it's a shame that is seems to be so underrated. I still don't know if I could recommend it to someone else, because this kind of scheme doesn't fit to everyone. But you can try, precisely for the offbeat story that this film proposes. Good effort and "courage" from the producers anyway.

A murky horror picture in which two young women are despatched to a remote, creepy old house to assist its occupant in a mercy killing. Once there, they find that things are not quite what they seem. Weak and unfocused, with a very slow build to a confusing climax. The lead character will lose most viewers' sympathies early on when she abandons her pet cat in the countryside.

I am not sure if anyone mentioned this but the lead's name was the first thing I picked up on... Malison, some might think its a combination of Melissa and Allison or Malory and Allison, but it comes from old latin (as if it could be anything else) Maledicere meaning to speak badly of a man or a male figure. However in the 13th century after Malison became gender neutral, and was being used more often, it took on a new meaning, in today's webster, the word Malison means CURSE, TO CURSE or CURSED.

So using it as a First Name, was creatively a good idea, I can see how it might have been overlooked by the audience, specially since Malison is not something one hears in a day to day conversation, besides it has largely been supplanted by its younger cousin MALEDICTION.
