Hexina - Schön verrückt und gefährlich

Hmmm...I seem to be in the minority here. Judging by the IMBD votes this film wasn't very popular. I usually vote a tad lower than the average, but for this one I was way off the scale on the high end. That's because in my opinion, for a low-budget movie, it's quite a surprise. Many plot twists, very unpredictable. OK, maybe it's not that there are no Oscar performances, but what do you want from a comedy? Laughs. And this film really is quite funny. Plot revolves around a habitual liar who says he knows a female sex goddess and has to save face when he's called on it. Definitely worth a rental.

I went in thinking that "Hexed" would be something enjoyable, but at the same time forgettable throwaway. Yep it was sprightly, but never unmemorable thanks to the neurotically psychotic female fatal performance by the stunning Claudia Christian as an international supermodel with a murderous streak, which Arye Gross' unlucky hotel desk clerk character eventually finds out. This is one surprisingly good, twisted black comedy with moments of overstated cruelty and hilarious activity in the theme of the boy who cried wolf as the line between fantasy and reality becomes blurred. Matthew Walsh is a geeky hotel clerk who is tired with the life he leads that he feels the need to embellish it with tall tales and outrageous lies that no one takes seriously, but this comes back to hurt him when he becomes secretly involved with mega-star model Hexina. What seems like a harmless dream coming true turns quite dangerous when he learns her true identity and dead bodies begin to pile up. Now who is going to believe him? It might be a one-idea joke, but there are visual gags aplenty in a cartoon-like tone, clever Hitchcock touches and the tidy script is humorously sharp with the banter. The support cast are just as kooky with raucous turns by R. Lee Emery, Normal Fell, Ray Baker, Michael E. Knight and the lovely Adrienne Shelly. Frenzy comic-laced entertainment.

"How many f*cking men do I have to kill in this f*cking town."

I saw this with my wife about 5-6 years ago.

We rented it because I was on my Claudia Christian phase. (Still am, but that is another story...)

Claudia was also in The Hidden - a classic sci-fi / horror film.

I've been recommending this movie for years.

Today, I found out that it was written by Alan Spencer, the Creator, and writer for Sledge Hammer!

Very screwball, about a liar's fantasy gone bad.

Enough comedy, and enough storyline to make you forget that there is a method to the madness.

Now I double recommend this film - no wonder it was so great! Enjoy!

This is without a doubt one of the best comedies ever. Brilliant acting by Claudia Christian , who holds nothing back from her portrayal of Hexina, the nutbar serial killer/model. Arye Gross is the liar Matthew Welsh who stumbles into becoming Hexinas lover and accomplice. Despite the ratings here on IMDb , trust me, this film is brilliant. Sharp direction by Alan Spencer (Sledgehammer ) just makes this film an absolute delight. IMDb gives clues to why this is not of the highest budget but don't let that throw you.

"The budget and shooting schedule for was slashed by the studio one month before principal photography was set to begin. Rather than abandon the green lighted film, director Alan Spencer drew from his background in TV, forged ahead and completed the movie in thirty days."

Incredibly , this cast delivers everything and more. A treat for sure, check this out on DVD. If you can't enjoy this you have no sense of humor.

This is a stupid, spoof like comedy. But it's pretty funny. There are no big name actors really but a lot of familiar faces. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this and don't understand why people hate it so much. I guess too many "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings" fans are voting for it. Oh well, this movie kicks ass. If you like this check out Repossessed. It's another underrated spoof that made almost no money.
