Rotten
So much about the film is loopy and ludicrous ... that it could have been a hoot in a bad-movie way if the laborious pacing and endless exposition had been tightened.
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
Overview
A famous psychiatrist (Ty Adams) takes on the job of trying to cure patients at the Sedah State Hospital, run by it's folksy doctor (Sam Delazo). All this takes a strange turn when a mysterious patient (Satan, he calls himself) enters the Hospital seeking help. Or is it just help that he wants?

This dramatically shaky contest of wills only reiterates the old Hollywood saw: Evil is interesting and good is boring.
Jan Stuart, Newsday
Rotten
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.
Megan Turner, New York Post

The film is a verbal duel between two gifted performers.

Despite its flaws, Crazy as Hell marks an encouraging new direction for La Salle.
