| Rating |  | | Date | August 02, 2005 | | Summary | A Brilliant Relationship Comedy | Content
 | A comic masterpiece about the stress murder can put on relationships. Claudia Christian gives an incredible comedic performance as the homicidal supermodel Hexina who involves lowly desk clerk Matthew (Arye Gross) in a double murder. Paced perfectly, Hexed features a great mix of slapstick, parody and intelligent humor - everything that's missing from today's "comedies." The police chase of Matthew through the hotel is one of the funniest sequences I've ever seen. For even more laughs, watch it a second time with writer/director Alan Spencer's commentary. The insights and humor Spencer shares in the commentary wishes that a director's cut of Hexed still existed somewhere. |

| The new release of HEXED on DVD is a delightful treat. Most comedies in theaters these days aren't funny - they tend to be moderately amusing formula comedies with predictable plots and lame jokes. Not this brilliant gem.
Alan Spencer, the producer of that great TV series SLEDGE HAMMER!, wrote and directed this hilarious romp. Ayre Gross and Claudia Christian starred as the star-crossed madcap lovers. Many fans will recognize Claudia Christian from her role as Commander Susan Ivanova on TV's BABYLON FIVE, and she steals the show with a great comic performance.
The extras should not be skipped. Alan Spencer's audio commentary is a masterpiece of intelligent, witty narration. His background information on the filming is like taking a course on filmmaking.
If you enjoy movies that a really funny and extras that rival the movie in entertainment value, you should buy HEXED on DVD. You'll be charmed by this magic Christian. |

| I read on a message board that due to the success of "Sledge Hammer!" on DVD, now Sony Home Video is planning to release Alan Spencer's dark little jem "Hexed" on DVD! I'm hoping they put out a "Director's Cut" as Alan has said in past interviews that his original version was a whole lot different than what got released. What I'm really looking forward to is some feature length commentary from Alan Spencer. His commentaries on "Sledge Hammer: Season One" were the funniest I've ever heard, so I hope he tries to top himself (without the earthquake hitting again)! |
| Rating | | | Date | June 27, 2004 | | Summary | VERY BAD | Content
| I made the mistake of seeing this movie eleven years ago. I made the second mistake of watching this again last week on Comedy Central. Why? It was a pleasantly forgotten, now it plagues my mind once again.
This movie forced me to revise my Worst Movies of All Time List.
I did catch myself laughing slightly in some scenes, but overall the timing is off and the writing, acting, and direction is just plain bad.
