Hex - Salto Mortal

Skydiving was very cool but the rest of the movie not so much.

Maybe I didn't pay enough attention (some parts of the movie were quite boring) since the movie ended and I had no idea what happened and most important.. why. What were all those "flashbacks" all about and again... where they were coming from. And WHY?

Very disappointed since it started quite well.

At least 600 characters needed (WHY???!!!) so there it is again..

This movie seemed to capture the essence of dropzone life quite well.

The sound of the aircraft engines in partcular had me wishing I hadn't got old and hung up my jumpsuit.

I guess whuffos won't understand you can't communicate in freefall - it's a noisy old sport. But it doesn't detract from the movie, and helps keep the flow of the story going.

As for the "evil" characters, "why" is the best I can say. What is their motivation, what's going on there? No matter, just go with it.

The horror elements I found a bit confusing but the ending really was nasty. Confusing, but nasty.

I enjoyed it.

This movie is about a group of "hexed" skydivers experiencing paranormal events.

The best part if this movie is that this is the exact place my son sky dived for the first, and only, time to celebrate turning 21.

It was awesome to see the place we hung out at all day while waiting for his turn. Plus, we've lived in Orange County all of our lives and are intimately acquainted with the roads and topography of the area; Lake Also more, CA.

The movie is, ummm, adequate if you're bored and can't find anything else. Fairly tropical cookie cutter characters. Exactly what was bringing on the spooky suff had us guessing.

I kind of enjoyed this as the story developed properly in the last half hour, but it seemed to be based, from the beginning, on a rather spurious urban legend which I'd never heard of and suspect doesn't exist or is highly unlikely.

I think the film could have been done better using the last half hour but with a better earlier story. Skydiving? Not so much!

Some lovely aerial shots and the acting was quite good. They were really let down by the plot which is very slow moving. Suspend disbelief? You may be a bit stretched on this one.

Overall I give it a 4. Could have been a decent film with a better storyline.

It started out pretty good. Cool jump scenes, an ok story. And then maybe 40 minutes into it. The entire narrative shifted from extreme athlete type movie to a nonsensical horror movie with bad makeup and a ridiculous plot. Even the acting got worse, or at least it seemed to.

It's gotten so bad that I'm writing this review with 28 minutes left in the movie playing in the background. 3 stars for scenery and jumps.

In keeping with the 600 character limit:
