Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

disdressed12 What happens you're a psychiatrist in a mental facility and "Satan",himself Becomes your patient?well, that is the gist of this story,and it is brilliant.the movie is provocative,evocative and compelling.it brings up a multitude of questions,about life,psychiatry/psychology vs theology/religion and the meaning of existence.this is one thought provoking,deep experience.the screenplay is co-written by Jeremy Leven and Eric Jendresen adapted from Leven's own novel "Satan".Leven also wrote the screenplay for "the Notebook", "Alex and Emma", as well as "The Legend of Bagger Vance".Jendresen was the supervising producer for the mini-series "Band of Brothers" as well as the writer for 3 episodes.Michael Beach plays Dr.Ty Adams,the psychiatrist who suddenly becomes the therapist for Satan,himself.Eric La Salle(from E.R fame)not only stars as Satan,he also directs this masterpiece.Both beach and La Salle are brilliant in their respective roles.Beach as a man who starts to question first himself and then this sanity.We see his transformation from a self assured(on the surface) man with a near God complex(ironic,when Satan is your patient),to a complete wreck of a man who questions himself and his sanity,even reality.La Salle is masterful as his character very subtly and slowly,but surely, drives Dr Adams to insanity.La Salles performance is quietly understated,and minimalist,yet (from the beginning) with a hint of what his character is capable of.Add these two brilliant performances with a very strong supporting cast,and you have the ingredients for something special.however,once you add La s Salle's contribution as director,you reach a whole new level.La Salle knows how to get the best from his actors,.where to place the camera,the look of the film. how to create tension and atmosphere.the film is very stylish to be sure,but is heavy on substance as well.La Salle balances the two perfectly,creating just the right mixture.this is not a horror movie,but more of a psychological suspense thriller.if you are expecting frenetic action,you won't find it here.the movie is very dramatic,and may move too slow for some.but if you like a movie that will make you think and may even challenge you beliefs,this is your movie. 10/10

lilmama34 It took me a minute to understand it. Well at least I think I understood it. I think this movie can be very easily perceived in different ways depending on the personal beliefs/ ideas of the viewer. For me, I think Dr. Ty Adams was already dead at the beginning of the movie. And since he was one of those people who spent their life trying to help others but not really believing in God or the Devil his soul kinda got stuck in the middle. Which is why he was placed in his element (the hospital) and confronted by the devil, who stated in their first meeting that he wanted Ty's soul. I think the Sinbad character may have been God in a human form to maybe try and save Ty's soul. But Ty never gave him the time of day and said throughout the film that he didn't believe in God. This in my opinion may have prevented Ty's soul from going to heaven thus ending up in hell at the end of the movie. Ty's last words were "I'm a good man!" Thinking that good people don't go to hell. I think that this movie isn't trying to force religion on you, put I do think that it wants you to believe in something. In Ty's case his ego got in the way of him going to heaven.

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.

frankie spurlock i didn't really appreciate this film. the dialogue was decent but they seemed to tread a thin line between spiritual and emotional, as if the writer was trying to dodge stereotype.personally, i spent a lot of time trying to figure out the "who-dunnit" scape of the cast. i first thought la salle's character was a figment of ty's psychosis in dealing with the loss of his daughter. at one time i thought that ty was a schizophrenic that killed his family, or whose family was made up to torment him. for a while i was convinced that he was in hell cause he had jumped, and his daughter was a rep of his mortal form. the director i figured as ty's real psychiatrist who was trying to convince him to go on meds for his schizophrenia. then that completely unconnected scene in the club with the girl was ridiculous, and i have yet to realize what significance the video/documentarian crew played except to limit the supernatural in the plot, and maybe develop ty's character (making it more confusing).i don't know what else to say. i ranked it 4 cause i'd rather watch something that poses intelligent with a promise of depth, than something that's all 8th grade level understanding. i just think they could lead us a little more and not be afraid to wrap it up.
