Movie Reviews of In the Mouth of Madness
Movie Review: In the mouth of awesomeness!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film just rocks, probably the best film in Neill's carrear (asside from Event Horizon).
"Master of horror John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing) is back with his scariest movie to date!"
Sutter Cane is the best selling horror novelist, but his latest novel is driving his readers literally insane. When he unexpectably vanishes, his publisher sends a special investigator, John Trent (Sam Neill) to track him down. On the search for the missing author he finds himself crossing a deadly barrier between fiction, reality and insanity, nothing is what it seems in this terrifying world of which there is no escape.....
Inspired by the tales of H. P. Lovecraft, this shocking story is, in the words of it's acclaimed director, "horror beyond description!"
I am a huge horror fanatic, when I first saw this movie, i rented on VHS I was blown away and I had to see it again, the film draws you in and never lets go. This movie is a definate must see for any horror fan.
10/10
Movie Review: Carpenter at his best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Not since Carpenter's The Thing, has horror been this good. This film is simply a work of art and one of the last great films made in the genre. Carpenter is a master of his craft and this film is a testament that this dying genre was at one time great. Here there are no big breasted teenage girls screaming and running away from a masked killer armed with a knife. Carpenter has already done that (first and the best) with Halloween. In the Mouth of Madness is a psychological rollarcoaster which at times makes the audience question what is actually reality. Along with Carpenter's great direction, this film features a good performance from Sam Neill and some great special effects. It really is a must for horror fans.Now on DVD this film is seen, for the first time since theaters in its original aspect ratio, 2:35/1. It also features an extremely interesting commentary with Carpenter and the Director of Photography, Gary B Kibbe.

Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start off by saying that I have seen this movie 7 times and it scares the crap out of me every time I see it. The movie centers around an insurance (...)named John Trent. He is hired by the world's best selling author, Sutter Cane's publishing company to investigate Cane's sudden dissapearance. Trent, who is always looking for a rational explanation, thinks this is a publicity stunt. He picks up some of Cane's books and uses pieces of the covers as puzzle pieces which form New Hampshire. He then notices in all the books they talk about a town called Hobb's End. He and Canes editor go searching for this "fake" town but soon find it much more than fake. I won't give away anything else so go buy the movie, you won't be dissapointed! By the way, is it just me or are the scenes with the kid/old man on the bike quite possibly the scariest scenes ever in a horror movie?Movie Review: Carpenter's Tour de Force
Summary: 5 Stars
Much more than a simple horror movie, In the Mouth of Madness takes the viewer on the twisted tale of insurance fraud investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) sent to find world famous pulp horror writer Sutter Cane (Jurgen Prochnow of Das Boot, Dune). Carpenter's cinematic style reaches its pinnacle in this wild ride and his self-composed score completes the masterpiece. Full of outstanding introspective scenes juxtaposed with Carpenter's trademark wit, ITMOM delves into the core of reality and, more importantly, the perception of reality. What is reality but what the mass populus believes it to be? Sutter Cane's twisted books have become more believable than the Bible in the world of ITMOM and John Trent finds himself an unwitting pawn of Cane's warped apocalypse. A visually astounding, thought provoking movie that is not to be missed.
