Crazy as Hell (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Crazy as Hell, released in 2002 (New York and L.A. only), is a horror suspense film that follows Dr. Ty Adams (played by Michael Beach), an aggressive and overconfident psychiatrist who is producing a documentary film about a nearby state-run mental hospital. While treating a new patient (Eriq La Salle, who also directed) who claims to be Satan, Dr. Adams begins to question his own perceptions. Adams has a chess game with the facility's administrator (Ronnie Cox) that runs through the whole movie. Adams himself is actually traumatized by the death of his own daughter. His arrogance and insistence on being right leads him to locking the police away from a suicidal patient and attempting to talk her down himself, only to have Eriq La Salle's character Barnett inexplicably appear on the rooftop and reveal jarring truths about Adams, leading to the patient's suicide.
