Every episode tries to attract the noose tighter round these characters with shot after shot of grisly scenes and possibly a bit an excessive amount of nudity for our Nigerian sensibilities. It doesn’t take lengthy to comprehend that Peters is not gunning for the standard Nollywood styled image reeking of notorious horror themes or embarrassing visible results.

However unusually Nigerian would not essentially imply untypically horror. Darkish shade grading, an overreaching plot, all components of the style regardless that it misses a significant level.

Horrors are supposed to be scary however ‘Hex’ opts for an unprecedented really feel. In alternate, it serves an hypnotic impact constructed and sustained by the story’s suspense-filled plot. The primary episode hits its mark with the curious questions and does a high-quality job of sustaining them until the puzzle is solved within the closing episode. However like most horrors, there’s hardly a convincing decision.
