Leave your thoughts about Crazy As Hell.
| Journal News (Westchester, NY)Marshall FineA great ending doesn't make up for a weak movie, and Crazy as Hell doesn't even have a great ending. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonAs a director, La Salle manages to sustain a mood of looming menace almost throughout, and as an actor he gets the film's best joke: When his Satan fills out his hospital admission form, he gives his social security number as 666. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasStarts encouragingly and finishes strongly with a twist, but the middle is weighed down by too much discourse when it should be visually evoking its ideas and developing its mood of unease. |
| New York PostMegan TurnerA 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. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. Levit'Crazy as Hell' leaves viewers with something to think about after the screen goes dead and the house-lights come on. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyIt could have been a hoot in a bad-movie way if the laborious pacing and endless exposition had been tightened. As it is, only LaSalle's sizzling performance makes Crazy more than a by-the-numbers psycho-horror thriller. |
| Village VoiceMark HolcombUneasy mélange of occult thriller and insane-asylum-as-social-microcosm parable. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsGlenn WhippA fairly engaging, if overly simplistic, comic thriller. |
| New York PostMegan LehmannThe script is so overstuffed with painfully obvious clues (the constant patina of sweat on the cocky doctor's face, for one) that we don't need the ominous rumbles on the soundtrack to tell us where we're headed. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardHell is sitting through a movie in which you have no respect for the protagonist and the "surprise" ending is as clearly lit as the exit sign. |
