Definitely not award winning material--but much much better than I expected... Actor, Michael Beach is relatively believable as a psychiatrist in this horror thriller. Who steals the show, however is Eriq LaSalle. His psychotic performance was beyond disturbing. Anyway, this is one of the better horror-in-the-psych ward movies. The dialogue is realistic. And the patients in this hospital provide plenty of entertainment with their antics. Look for Sinbad to pull off a tolerable role as an orderly. (Yes, Sinbad of the hit 80's sitcom ,"A Different World").

Crazy as Hell finds Dr. Ty Adams (Michael Beach) summoned to the Sedah Institute to help the staff with its more difficult patients. While there, Dr. Adams comes across some stunning and frightening realities. This movie is a brave attempt at fusing a character study with horror, with Eriq LaSalle portraying patient “Satan� beautifully. See this movie with an open mind, and be prepared to watch again later.
