Customer Reviews of In the Mouth of Madness
One of the Scariest, Most Mind Bending Movies Ever!!!!!!!!!! Sutter Cane, the world's best selling Horror novelist, has disappeared. Vanished without a trace.
"I'm not insane, do you hear me? I'm not insane!"
"You want to hear about my THEM, don't you?"
"When does Fiction become Religion?"
An insurance claim investigater is hired to find Cane, whose books are a literary phenomenon that affects its "less stable readers, causing disorientation, memory loss, and severe paranoid reaction".
"He became convinced his writing was real, not fiction"
People are going through withdrawl waiting for the new Sutter Cane novel, symptoms include madness, murder, mayhem...
This movie crosses the border of reality more than once to the point where you question your own sanity.
"What's to be scared about? It's not like its real or anything."
"Sane and insane could easily switch places if the insane were to become the majority."
The dark Lovecraftian feel, the possibilities of evil and monsters lurking in the shadows. The New England town on the very edge of Hell.
"It's about people turning into things, creatures that aren't human anymore."
In the Mouth of Madness is a Horror masterpiece, a film Lovecraft himself would be proud of and a fitting tribute to the late great author's works. A must have for any Horror connosieur!
"When people begin to lose their ability to know the difference between fantasy and reality; the Old Ones can begin their journey back."
Probably the Best H.P. Lovecraft Film Ever.
In the Mouth of Madness will prabably be somewhat mystifying to viewers who aren't familiar with H.P. Lovecraft's classic horror tales about "The Elder Gods", monstrous beings that have been imprisoned in the depths of space since the dawn of time, waiting patiently for their chance to return to Earth, and reclaim it from the insignificant creatures (US!) that roam her...lovecraft wrote in a style that is virtually untranslatable to the screen...even the most successful adaptation, "Re-Animator", had to veer wildly off from the source material in order to be viable...
Well, here John Carpenter decides to cut out the middle-man, and rather than change Lovecraft around, he simply gives us H.P.'s worst nightmare: The Elder Gods are coming back....Run.....
Sam Neill plays John Trent, an insurance adjuster looking for missing Horror novelist Sutter Cane. Cane has been incommunicado for weeks, sending his new novel in in dribs and drabs. The publication date is coming up fast, and Cane's less-than-stable fans are REALLY anxious to read his latest- So anxious that they're starting to have book store riots looking for copies. Trent and Cane's Editor (Julie Carmen) stumble upon Hobb's End, the FICTIONAL town that is the setting for all of Cane's books, and from there things just get weird. Cane is writing his latest, "In the Mouth of Madness", as a way to increase belief in The Old Ones, thus opening the doorway for their return to our plane of existence.
The film is very entertaining, but seems kind of constrained by the budget...the deserted streets at the end just didn't seem big enough to convey the feeling Carpenter was trying for. I think Lovecraft would have enjoyed it, though. The disc has both widescreen and full-frame versions of the picture (Pick widescreen!), commentary by Carpenter and the Cinematographer, the theatrical trailer, and a filmography for Carpenter and the cast. (Jurgen Prochnow's filmography has an Easter-Egg- The trailer for Twin Peaks:Fire Walk With Me.) Also, look for a young Hayden Christensen (Star Wars Episode II's Anakin Skywalker) as the paperboy towards the end.
More like "I wish I hadn't watched it" Madness
This movie must have been made too late in the digestion process, because by the time you are done watching, you are convinced that it was "In the Excrement of Madness".
For being made in 1995, the special effects were a joke. I've seen better masks at the drugstore during halloween.
The female lead in this movie really "killed" my interest, but to the title's credit, her acting did make me MAD.
This had so much potential, but I wish Sutter Cane had written in better actors, special effects and directing.
