what happens when the mask comes off?Diving into the psychological-paranormal realm, Heks is a new type of independent horror film.
A grieving British woman unravels her murdered mother’s secrets connected to a South African witch doctor’s curse. She wants to put an end to this haunting hex by traveling to South Africa, but instead it casts her deeper into sinister depths. Drawing inspiration from centuries of witch doctors within the culture of her home of South Africa, horror movie veteran Reine Swart (Triggered; The Lullaby; Z Nation) makes her directorial debut. She conducts a cast as diverse as South Africa itself. |
