Profile of Crazy As Hell

Crazy As Hell can be described as tense and suspenseful. The plot revolves around psychological motives, themes of mind and soul, and mental illness. The main genres are drama and thriller. In approach, Crazy As Hell is serious and realistic. It is set, at least in part, in a mental institution. It takes place in contemporary times.

Summary of Crazy As Hell

Unconventional psychotherapist Dr. Ty Adams (Michael Beach) takes residence at Sedah State Mental Hospital where he will be filmed by documentarian Parker (John C. McGinley) for a film on his methods of non-medicinal approach to treatment. Dr. Adams' confidence is offset by the recent loss of his wife and young daughter. He soon meets his ultimate professional challenge, however, in the form of a stranger claiming to be Satan (Eriq La Salle). Satan is intelligent and insightful, and before long, Dr. Adams will find himself involved in a maddening game of role-reversal. An engaging psycho-thriller, CRAZY AS HELL was co-written by Jeremy Leven, based on his 1982 novel SATAN: HIS PSYCHOTHERAPY AND CURE BY THE UNFORTUNATE DR. KASSLER, J.S.P.S.

The New York Times

Starts on a note of relative naturalism and under Mr. La Salle's nuanced direction gradually becomes more and more unhinged until it concludes in an altogether different genre. Full Review

Los Angeles Times

Starts 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. Full Review
