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.

This review is only based off the first act as this video is unwatchable. Terrible cinematography, equally bad story with no production value makes for a Jordan Bradley special. It's so bad it wants to be good but far too boring to keep interest. The bad guy spreads his arms out must be 50 times to distract from the garbage acting. This is not a film but a long format video for high school film students to learn and break down indie film mistakes 101. Who would green light this? Story made no sense but the scene when the girls get abducted is hilarious. Grandmas acting is the best in the show bahahaha.

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 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.

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.
