An eye opener and much reality
Added 11/19/2009
I watch this movie because someone beg me to watch it. I don't recommend rated "R" movies because I'm a follower of Christ and with this particular rating is not my choice. But I will say this about the movie.....It has a lot of reality about the movie and it served as a "Wake up call". Its not just a matter if you know God, but do He(God) know you and are you living for Him and NOT yourself.
This movie was more than just entertainment......it has a powerful message behind it.
REPENT & Believe the Gospel....Jesus is Lord and this will never change, wherever you are, in hell or heaven.

Great movie!

This was a really good film of which I knew nothing about before finding it while browsing through the shelf at the video store. Great dialogue from beginning to end. I don't want to spoil it for you, but it certainly gives some good insight on those with "God-complexes".

Confused as Hell
Added 6/24/2006
This film - given the cast could have been interesting, however it lacks any coherent or relavent non-coherent editing due to the fact that it has NO ORGANIZATION. It is fine that it is based from a novel but I don't want to read the novel - I WANTED TO WATCH THE FILM. If you want to see a novel explained correctly in a film format then watch Kubrick's film BARRY LYDON. It is essentially a poor re-write of a morality play based for everyman.

LOST IN THE LOONEY BIN

Director/co-star Eriq LaSalle's CRAZY AS HELL is an enigmatic, disturbing movie--is it a horror movie or is it a psychological thriller, or is it a little of both? It's pacing is more cerebral, and its plot thick with premonitions and suggestions. What is it with the hospital anyway? Patients are allowed to run loose in the halls. Patients acquire trophies and brooms. They are all on medication. Enter the idealistic doctor who thinks he can "cure" these people, take them off their medication, and send them all home. At this point, the movie has a surreal quality. Psychiatrists DON'T go into their patient's rooms and sneak around. Psychiatrists DON'T tell the patient why they are behaving like they are. The patient's rooms are like low budget motels, but still very well kept. And then enters the patient who says he's Satan. This is all shrouded in complex scenes wherein our good doctor starts talking to his dead wife and daughter. By the way, he is responsible for his daughter's suicide because he wouldn't prescribe her medicine.
Michael Beach plays the doctor with a smug assuredness, that belies a man who seems to be falling apart. LaSalle as Satan has the pompacity of Isaac Hayes, the swagger of Denzel Washington and the quiet menace of Tony Todd. Stalwart Ronny Cox plays the head honcho with his usual smarmy smugness, with an undertone of more. John C. McGinley as the director of the video is cleverly malevolent and conspiratorial. Tracy Pettit as the patient the doctor vows to cure and win a bet on, to boot, has little dialogue, but she has the vacant composure of a mentally challenged young woman.
All in all, CRAZY AS HELL is a very different kind of movie, one that might lead you to question YOUR religious predilections. Kudos to LaSalle for the innovativeness on such a low budget.
