More than one interesting piece of content marks this month’s releases on Netflix, which subscribers of the service probably won’t want to miss. The most notable of these is the Taiwanese horror film Hex (incantation), released in theaters in Taiwan in March this year, to great commercial success and critical acclaim.
described by The Hollywood Reporter as the “scariest Taiwanese movie ever”, Hex is currently the highest-grossing Taiwanese horror film of all time, with over $7.9 million in box office receipts.
The film is inspired by true events and tells the story of a cult-worshipping family in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. In addition, it was filmed in a mockumentary style, as its actors break the fourth wall to attract the audience and make them feel involved. The official synopsis for the film on Netflix reads:
Six years ago, Li Ronan broke a religious taboo and was cursed. She must now protect her daughter from the consequences of her actions.
Hex received mostly positive reviews upon its Taiwanese premiere. Praise was mainly directed at the film’s unique themes, fascinating stories and film work. The film explores several complex themes, including religious cults and human perceptions, among many others, but is more disturbing than terrifying due to its editing and pace of plot development.
Hex premiered on July 8 on the Netflix platform and, since then, it has become a trend on social networks, since many do not stop talking about it, as there are those who point out that they could not reach the end of the movie because of the fear that caused them. Even some of the comments have been cited by Netflix Latin America through its official Twitter account.
