Followed by a documentary filmmaker named Parker (John C. McGinley), psychiatrist Dr. Ty Adams (Michael Beach) begins treating a mysterious man (Eriq La Salle). The nameless patient claims he's the devil, and Adams, convinced that the man is delusional and dangerous, isolates him from the rest of the hospital population. But as the supposed Satan gradually reveals himself to be an all-knowing creature, Adams must reconsider what he believes about medicine, mental illness and the spirit world.

This dramatically shaky contest of wills only reiterates the old Hollywood saw: Evil is interesting and good is boring.

Rated: 2/4

Megan Turner

New York Post

A morality tale whose thought-provoking potential is hampered by a made-for-TV look, rigid performances and an asinine 'twist' that brazenly rips off The Sixth Sense.

Rated: 1/4

The film is a verbal duel between two gifted performers.

[Michael] Beach's performance... carries the film, particularly in the powerhouse ending.

'Crazy as Hell' leaves viewers with something to think about after the screen goes dead and the house-lights come on.

Very clever screenplay and well-acted by a good cast. Introduces some thought provoking philosophical ideas for a suspense horro thriller.

I saw this movie by accident thinking it was something else but now I love it and bought the dvd. A man with a God complex facing off with a man who claims to be Satan is an good plot but I mostly love the hidden gems of hints that I didn't see the first time around. Every time I watch it I discover something else I didn't pick up on before. I found, and still find it, intriguing.

Crazy As Hell Puts Together A Very Nice Twist With A Very Good Acting Especially From Eriq La Salle(Who Also Directed) But I Personally Think It Went On A Little Too Long.
