Crazy Texas

Maybe you will like it if you liked Heretic. For me, it was very boring religious and philosophical talk between a couple of kidnapped girls and some sort of fanatic. An absolute lack of any interesting sequences or twists. Bad characters - just very boring. But what is especially depressing is how similar to Heretic it is. It really feels like your already watched this movie - I was very open to an interesting indie horror movie but this was very disappointing - I did not not even like Heretic, I obviously wasn't going to enjoy this lesser version. I feel very disappointed about this movie, since I gave it a try just because for some reason it had a good score. But no, it is not good.

Some movies are so bad they become fun. They become cult classics, some getting midnight screenings to rabid fans and organically developing audience participation. Make no mistake whatsoever, this is NOT one of those movies. This is the epitome of amateurism. The dialogue is cringe inducing, as are a majority of the performances. There is a good reason some of the alleged actors in this felony of a film have no other credits on iMDB. The directing is as vanilla and safe as an episode of any home improvement show but is at least competent, as is the editing. Those, however, cannot overcome the mediocrity of the overall production.

Crazy Texas is a gritty psychological thriller that grabs you from the first scene and refuses to let go. It's not your typical horror movie-this one gets under your skin. The tension builds masterfully, with just the right balance of eerie silence, raw emotion, and shocking moments that hit hard without relying on cheap jump scares.

The story is smart and unsettling, with layered characters that make you question who's really the villain-and what's really going on. The atmosphere is thick with paranoia and dread, set against a uniquely Texan backdrop that gives the whole film a distinctive, haunting edge.

This isn't just horror-it's psychological warfare, and it leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.

A bold, original debut that proves indie horror is alive and well. Can't wait to see what comes next from this Director Francis Juarez.

Crazy Texas is a standout indie gem that delivers big drama in a small-town setting. Set against the backdrop of Christmas in rural Texas, the film follows two sisters as they navigate a treacherous mix of family loyalty, financial stakes, and unshakable religious beliefs. What unfolds is a gripping, emotionally charged story that blends holiday warmth with high-stakes tension.

The performances are raw and real, especially from the leads, who bring authenticity and depth to their roles. Their dynamic captures the complexity of sisterhood-equal parts love, rivalry, and shared purpose. The film's direction feels both intimate and daring, allowing quiet moments to resonate while never shying away from the story's darker undercurrents.

Visually, Crazy Texas makes great use of its setting, capturing both the charm and isolation of a small town during the holidays. The contrast between festive lights and the characters' inner turmoil is striking.

This is a film that stays with you. It's bold, deeply human, and surprisingly poignant. A true indie triumph. Don't miss it.

It was a great psychological thriller. Characters were complex but not overly as that you couldn't connect with them. Main character was legit creepy. Choice of locations for scenes was on point and really captured the vibe. I really put myself in the girls shoes and caught myself talking to the screen, "don't do it" "just shut up", etc. Music at the end could have been a little better to really capture the plot twist. Don't want to ruin the ending, but really gave me 6th sense vibes.

Really original idea and I can't wait to see more from this Director and cast. Heeps better than movies popular movies like Blair witch project.
