It is very difficult for 2 actors to carry a film as well as these two did. I applaud George Popov and Jonathan Russel for their great direction. I was engaged from start to finish. The ending was worth the wait and well played. Not only was I entertained but at the end I was forced to think about how we approach different beliefs.
Good Job.
Even to attempt to make a period film with no money is impressive enough, but to pull off a film this absorbing and compelling is no mean feat. A seriously gripping psychological thriller set during the height of the English Civil War and a time of great superstition. Very effective. Recommended viewing.
A period piece for indie film is always ambitious and tough but the producers of Hex have successfully pulled off a good film with most excellent costuming, tone and atmosphere. Set in the 1600's most of the filming takes place outside in a very fitting forest with somewhat ominous looking foliage and trees which really set the environment. The film is not loaded with action but the plot and main storyline in the development of characters centering around religious themes is plenty to keep it engaging throughout with thought provoking situations around human behavior. Well done and worth the look. Kuddos to cast and crew for a stunning period piece.
A great story about self discovery, fighting our inner demons and not only a war. It is set in contrasting locations - mesmerizing and bone-chilling making the nature a silent observer of what's unraveling in the movie. Beautiful sceneries of lush forests are intertwined with eerie and ominous caves, passages and abandoned occult places. It is a balance of night and day light and dark. What I Found to be truly great is the fact that a movie of this size tells a compelling story about two soldiers fighting in the civil war. One of the main accomplishments of it is that through the narrative I actually cared about them, the decisions they made, the moral dilemmas they had, the tough choices they had to take. The movie also deserves credit for managing to show us most of our own emotional spectrum - from rage, anger, fear, sadness, remorse, loss of a loved one, faith, god, empathy and doubt. Our two main heroes are not flat two dimensional soldiers. There was also a lot of attention to detail and anyone with a keen eye is sure to spot it. From snapping twigs, to how corpses behave, to how water flows and moves, the costumes, the camp, and and every other tiny aspect one might miss or take for granted or miss in the scenery. Definite must watch for everyone looking for something out of the usual Hollywood mystery/horror mould
A methodical, interesting and very intelligent film. The atmosphere and intellectual underpinnings are more important to the filmmaker than ceaseless action. If you crave that, great. Almost any super hero movie will do. This on the other hand is an insightful meditation on extremes in a time of civil war. If you want a film that will challenge your mind and your senses (so beautifully shot) then this is for you.
