The Hexecutioners (2015)

Why so much hype?

Lack of good storyline.

Fantastic!

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Malison McCourt is a hypersensitive young woman who, it is fair to say, has a lot on her plate. Living alone in a run-down apartment with her cat, the job she needs involves working for a euthanasia company. Her deeply superstitious landlord disapproves of this and makes her homeless. For all the unpleasant things that happen in this film, I don't mind admitting the moment I 'teared up' is when she abandoned her cat in the wilderness.Malison is teamed up with Olivia Bletcha: sexy, confident and every bit as lonely as Malison. Together they travel to a remote castle for the latest 'closure' (the company word for euthanasia). This interesting premise is diluted by the arrival of Edgar (Tim Burd) who is the heavily clichéd creepy host, complete with emaciated gait and growling whisper. Naturally, there is a somewhat eccentric ritual to accompany this latest passing.Sadly, moments of interest become more and more isolated as the ominous ruminations of a typical haunted house are further rolled out, including sinister whisperings from a 'ghostly' little girl which are delivered with all the disinterest you would expect from a bored 8 year old drama student. Malison becomes possessed by the evil - we know this because she suddenly starts using profanities. The demonic host looks not unlike a white-haired Kiwi Kingston from 1962's 'Evil of Frankenstein'. Events continue to spiral, becoming very visually impressive, but sadly the drama becomes increasingly disjointed and less and less easy to relate to. It is a shame things become so patchy because so much is well done here - rich direction from Jesse Thomas Cook, excellent locations, good production values and mostly very competent performances.

Reserved, nervous, quiet, and prudish Malison McCourt (Liv Collins) recently got a job with Life Source Closure, a home assisted suicide company. She had difficultly with her first assignment so they team her up with a veteran Olivia Bletcher (Sarah Power) who appears to enjoy her work, however they stopped short of creating an enjoyable over-the-top character which this film so desperately needed.The girls get assigned to a special case in a rural area where the man wants to undergo a killing involving a ritualistic knife and feeding him to the birds in a sky altar ceremony. The roles become reversed as Olivia balks at the idea while Malison seems possessed citing the company manual on customer satisfaction.The film is your average horror with a euthanasia twist. They could have done better with the characters.Guide: F-word. Nudity (Sarah Power)

So I watched this movie with a guarded reviewers mind because I was fed words like boring and having no point. Well those who felt that way in my opinion were 50% on point because the movie was definitely not boring. The movie starts off with a couple quick scares that were pretty creepy in the first 10 mins. Liv Collins plays the lead and has one of those faces that is very recognizable but you have no idea where you've seen her before,and Sarah Power who has been in some very popular movies American Pie being one of them, Shows us she has a lot of hidden talent along with her Beautiful looks.The acting,writing and score was all above average and quite enjoyable. Every character thru the first half had a witty dialogue that was lightly comedic at times.The pace of the movie was also fine and had pretty good mystery injected into the storyline. And that's where it all starts to crumble bringing me back to the other 50% of having no point or a very unfulfilling storyline. A sky burial was something I heard of but never really did any investigating on the ritual, it's pretty disturbing and knowing that some tribes or abarrigian people still carryout this Tibetan style burial is mind blowing, The problem with this movie was the fact we really don't get the right information as to why this is even taking place along with other characters popping up saying a few words and then disappearing. It's also unclear as to why a character can go from being frightened by everything in their surroundings and then a minute later wants to explore every creepy room they come too. Too many other characters were a mystery and remained that way confusing the watcher even more. I give it a 4/10 I wouldn't highly recommend this movie but it was OK to watch a good original idea and good film quality but the actions of some of the characters and story line was completely Horrific and not in the good way👎.

Alright, so this movie started out kind of good. Had a creepy moment in the beginning. Unfortunately this early moment was the best (and scariest) thing about the whole movie.A shame, because this movie had potential. Sort of. But it's taken in the wrong direction, and just wasted. To be honest, for it to be better the whole plot should have developed in another direction. Meaning, you know, different plot.It has decent acting, looks decent, but it's just too boring. Boring, and just doesn't add up. Being boring is the worst thing a movie can be, because movies exist solely to entertain. So, to sum up, slow, boring, and almost nothing happens in this "horror" movie. Better luck next time.
