Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Pie CatLady Never watched "E.R" so this was my first experience with Eriq La Salle, very satisfying. Michael Beach was familiar from "Third Watch" where he played a likable, intelligent doctor, as he does in this film. Ty Adams, the controversial and outwardly over-confident psychiatrist, claims to "cure" mental illness without drugs. His outward egotism covers deep neuroses of fear and self-doubt, especially since his drug-free treatment resulted in the suicides of his daughter-patient, and then his devastated wife. Ty soon finds himself in conflict with Dr. Delazo (Ronny Cox), the passionless director of the mental hospital. Stress increases exponentially when Ty is assigned a new patient, the Man who calls himself Satan (Eriq La Salle). Satan seems competent, not psychotic, and he volunteered for treatment because he wants a soul. Outwardly charming and perceptive, Satan is compellingly honest yet marvelously deceptive. Every confrontation reveals a different incarnation in appearance and affect. Satan slowly strips Ty of his self-deceptions, revealing his inner demons and inability to cope. The last scenes took me by surprise, as each character is revealed in demonic form, and Ty's protestations don't save him from the fate he chose for himself. This film will stand on its strengths of characterization and theme even when the twists are no longer a shock.

deeznutz502 First of all I did not know Mr. Lasalle was so talented. I watch this film over and over. Its story plot is very prophetic. If you pay very close attention to things in the movie you will understand its underlying plot. I don't want to give any other information as it may spoil the view for you. This film has not gotten the recognition it should have, which is very unfortunate. Anyone concerned or not concerned about their spirituality should watch this movie...I don't know what Mr. Lasalles driving force for making this movie was. But I would sure like to know what he was thinking when he wrote this story.This movie is definitely a must see. If you watch it and like spread the word. I didn't see it until 2005 and the only way I heard about it was by word of mouth.

circlelink Man o man does Eric LaSalle know how to write mysterious and psychological stories. This movies is wild. Very wild -- kept me guessing and I had to watch it a second time. Micheal Beach is wonderful and all the actors were sooo good.The theme of the movies with the crazy people --- and the final question is -- Just WHO is crazy? Kudos to the actors and of course Eric -- he is so fresh and delicious as Satan! Very well written and should have won an award. Don't stop writing Eric -- Micheal --- you are too much --- I really enjoyed this movie. I was riveted to the screen and could not move -- it really captured my imagination and I recommend anyone to watch this movie if it comes on either cable or satellite. You will not be disappointed. I wasn't! A very excellent movie.Miss Desmond

KWBum Contains Spoiler I saw it, because I was in it.Fine, call me naive. But there it was on the shelf at the IL' Blockbuster. Lordy! Look, I don't think I met the minimum time spent in LA to get all jaded and ultra cool about these things. When you live in the real world, being an extra is pretty nifty.However, the Crazy as Hell is not nifty. What can I say? If you rent it, and watch all of it, you are, in fact, crazy as hell. Or just really really bored. Or maybe rehab would not be the worst idea?The whole thing makes little sense. Including a gratuitous scene showcasing LaSalle's odd dancing skills stuck in the middle of nowhere. There's a trick ending where you think all along Eriq is Satan, but...he isn't! Ronnie is. Sort of. At least as best as I can tell. Hell, what do I know?Maybe "What the Hell" would be better? It's just amusing to spend time working on a "production," and to see how gawdawfully seriously these people take these things, and themselves, and then find the end product so laughably bad. Didn't LaSalle watch this thing before he put it on the shelves? If I were him, I'd be, frankly, embarrassed as hell.But, what the hell, I'm in it. A bit resentful that they cut my best scene, but hell, you can still see me. I'm famous... ..like hell.
