Reception
On the
The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "Hexed is a little bit Airplane! and a touch of High Anxiety, but it's all Alan Spencer. Spencer has concocted a fun, offbeat, uneven murder comedy that is stop-and-go in its delivery ... Hexed certainly has its share of narrative flaws, but they're worth putting up with for the wealth of laughter."[7] Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide said, "Hexed is an occasionally funny parody of erotic thrillers (Basic Instinct, 9½ Weeks, and Fatal Attraction) that goes too far."[8]
