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.

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.

This is a challenging and boldly serious story for even the best of filmmakers and especially for a first time filmmaker striking out into a world of such heavy competition. But Francis Juarez doesn't shy away or veer from the seriousness of his co-authored account, and that mature focus serves him and his film and its talented newcomer actors very well indeed, especially the two ladies who do a great job carrying most of the often disturbing narrative. I suspect there is a spiritual awareness behind Juarez's choice in making this film and I sympathize with that. It's not a film that will appeal to everyone, but it did appeal to me.

This is a really neat film because of the twists and turn. It may seem hard to solve, but if you watch it a few times, it really kicks in. During the second half of the film, it really starts to click and pick up speed and dynamism. It's cool to another great Texas film! The cinematography is exceptional along with the set design. This really does make you think about the depravity of humans and what could actually happen at the extremes of behavior. This one is a nail-biter that pulls you along until the big twists swing through totally catching viewers for surprise. Bravo to the actors, they are believable and fun to watch.

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.
