Hexed is a 1993 American black comedy film starring Arye Gross, Claudia Christian, Adrienne Shelly, and R. Lee Ermey, and written and directed by Alan Spencer, best known as the creator of the satirical TV series Sledge Hammer! The film centers on a nebbish clerk who is seduced by a supermodel, unaware that she is a psychotic murderess. The movie was filmed in Dallas and Fort Worth. Director and writer Alan Spencer expressed disappointment he was not given full creative control and was forced to film the movie on a tight schedule when the studio substantially slashed the budget mere weeks before filming began and removed fifteen days from the shooting schedule. Afterwards, major edits and musical substitutions changed the tone of Spencer's intended film.[1] Nevertheless, the film proved profitable and has developed a cult following.
