Jan Stuart Newsday This dramatically shaky contest of wills only reiterates the old Hollywood saw: Evil is interesting and good is boring. Rated: 2/4 Oct 3, 2002 Full Review 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 Sep 27, 2002 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times The film is a verbal duel between two gifted performers. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 26, 2002 Full Review Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies [Michael] Beach's performance... carries the film, particularly in the powerhouse ending. Rated: 3.3/5 Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 21, 2005 Full Review Donald J. Levit ReelTalk Movie Reviews 'Crazy as Hell' leaves viewers with something to think about after the screen goes dead and the house-lights come on. Oct 21, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

StephenPaul C LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 53 minutes about the devil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Save your self the waste of 2 hours and just watch "Angel Heart". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Frances H Very clever screenplay and well-acted by a good cast. Introduces some thought provoking philosophical ideas for a suspense horro thriller. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/15 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member My brother recommended this film to me and it was a good recommendation. I enjoyed Crazy As Hell. 4 stars for this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
