Linda, Louca e Perigosa

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 can not believe there are so many people dissing this movie! I found it by accident, and I rent it every time i can find it! i hear it is finally coming out on DVD, and i couldn't be happier! this movie is totally hilarious! the absolute funniest sex scene ever! (if i ever meet a girl who does this, i think i would shoot myself!) I would highly recommend this movie to anyone breathing with a sense of humor! It is one of the best "black humor" comedies ever made. As someone else pointed out, there are no big name actors or actresses in this film, but there are a lot of familiar faces. The bottom line is, from the screenplay down to the acting, this is one funny movie!

I have now seen Hexed on TV twice.. and one was heavily edited, very annoying. SO..I have been after the DVD ever since, no joy.(since released) Hexed has everything.Humour,action,titillation.. how could one not have that with Claudia in it. Shes brilliant. Babylon 5 did her a favour in the UK. I may be a science fiction nut, and proud of it. It may not be everyones humour, much of the comedy in the UK now isn't to my taste, but this film is exceptional.I want to see it again to remind me.Claudia tends to be totally over the top but it works.Shes totally mad and looks like she enjoys every minute of it. And why not.In Babylon five she was a responsible officer, so it was good to see her let her hair down.

This is one of those movies that never got the appreciation that it deserved. Most of the humor is very tongue-in-cheek, and it has some of the best lines and visuals of any comedy from the late 80's early 90's era. One of my favorite lines comes from Det. Ferguson (Full Metal Jacket's R. Lee Ermey) when he is questioning a witness and tells her that he has all the night to wait because "I'm divorced and have no charisma." This movie is chock full of satire and subtle jokes that you will probably not get until long after the movie is over or upon a second or third screening. Treat yourself to this movie if you want to see a light comedy with some very funny moments reminiscent of some of the great comedies of the 30's and 40's. (fans of this genre will hopefully understand my meaning after seeing this movie)
