Hex, not to be confused with several other films with the same title, opens with a montage of shots, old illustrations of demons, skydivers performing a risky manoeuvre, and blood being dripped on an altimeter as it’s being assembled. So it’s not a huge surprise when it ends with one of the parachutists falling to their death.
Ten years later Sarah is the new girl at the local skydiving club. Payson has been trying to get her to jump with his team, Lisa, Wade, Evan and Greg.
Why is he so insistent to add her to the crew? He wants to attempt The Hex, the risky and allegedly cursed formation jump we saw go wrong in the opening scenes.

You can check it out in the embed above.

Six extreme thrill-seekers get more excitement than they can handle in this intense, pulse-pounding action-horror tale. Loner Sarah joins a team of skydivers to help them execute a dangerous formation jump called “The Hex,” ignoring warnings that the act may be cursed.

"Now that we finally have six people, I think we should try the 'hex.'" Lionsgate has revealed a trailer for Hex, a mysterious thriller about a strange skydiving mishap. From their old Indiegogo page, the origins are explained: "Hex was born when a group of industry professionals decided to bring the excitement of modern skydiving into a gripping narrative story. Why skydiving? This production crew has a combined total of over 25,000 skydives! Bringing together a shared love of skydiving & horror films seemed like a perfect match." The film is about a mysterious disappearance on a jump. A group of skydivers experience paranormal occurrences that leave them fighting for their lives. Starring Kayla Adams, Matthew Holcomb, Bryan David Roberts, Eric Alperin, and Chloe Berman. This is a terrible trailer, and the acting is so bad, but this actually still looks kind of awesome? A totally crazy experimental horror film that isn't made anymore.
