I was initially lured into watching the 2022 horror movie "Nix" because of the movie's cover/poster, but also because it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And being an avid horror aficionado, of course I had to watch "Nix".
When I sat down to watch "Nix", I had never heard about the movie, so I didn't know what I was in for here. Nor did I really have any expectations, so writers Skyler Caleb, Anthony C. Ferrante, Woodrow Wilson Hancock III and James Zimbardi had every possible opportunity to bedazzle and entertain me.
The storyline in "Nix" is something that I will not say is easy viewing. It is a storyline that definitely is interesting, but also feels unnecessarily cluttered and chaotic. It is a movie that requires you to keep focus on the storyline, especially because the writers were all over the place here, jumping back and forth between characters in the present and the past.
The acting performances in the movie were good, and they had a pretty good cast ensemble, with the likes of Dee Wallace and Michael Paré on the cast list, among others.
Visually then "Nix" was okay. It is not a movie that makes use of an abundance of special effects, nor CGI. And whatever effects are there, function to further the narrative of the movie, so it worked out well enough. Just don't get your hopes up for a grand special effects spectacle.
Ultimately, then I found "Nix" to be a sort of okay movie. It was watchable, though it was somewhat of an acquired taste, I will say that much for it. And as such, I don't think that "Nix" is a movie that will easily please every member of the audience. And while I managed to sit through the 103 minutes that the movie ran for, I doubt that I will ever be returning to watch "Nix" a second time; it just doesn't have the contents in the script for more than a single viewing.
My rating of director Anthony C. Ferrante's 2022 horror movie "Nix" lands on a four out of ten stars.
