Crazy Texas

I watched this to see my high school friend Stacie Rowe kick ass in her role. You sounded and looked fantastic in this role my sweet! I can't wait to watch your other films. I was disappointed that I couldn't see your name in the credits. I went back to your part and thru to the end 5 times on 2 different apps and they both stopped before your credits hit the screen! I'm so proud of you and your accomplishments, get it woman!!!! The twists and turns on this film keep you guessing on what is happening next. I can't wait to see what the director will come up with next. Horror flicks always catch my eye!

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.

The production quality is absolutely unbelievably stunning. From the color grading to the editing, every frame looks well thought out-it's genuinely impressive how such a low-budget indie film could nail the production quality so flawlessly. From the directing to the editing, it was great for a film of such size.

That said, the opening credits could have been polished a bit-they felt slightly out of sync with the background.

Still, that's a minor hiccup in what is otherwise an exceptional piece of indie filmmaking. The story itself is well thought out.

Crazy Texas definitely deserves a watch!!

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.

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.
