WIN HEX ON DVD, 5 TO WIN!
COMPETITIONS OPEN TO AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS ONLY
Originally billed as U.K. TV's answer to
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed, the supernatural drama Hex is a
coming-of-age story dressed in Gothic trappings. Christina Cole stars as
Cassie Hughes, a young girl enrolled at Medenham Hall, a private school
that once housed a coven of witches. Cassie, who struggles to fit in
with her elitist and over-sexed classmates, discovers that she's even
less like them than she thought when she develops telekinetic powers.
The onset of these powers attracts the attention of Azazeal (Michael
Fassbender), leader of the Nephilim (the fallen angels of the Bible).
What follows is a broad and frequently stylish soap opera that pits
Cassie and her roommate Thelma (Jemima Rooper, who steals many scenes),
who happens to be a ghost, against Azazeal as he attempts to control
Cassie's body and soul--quite literally, as his plan is to impregnate
her in order to allow the other Nephilim to invade the corporeal world.
