60 of 323 · most liked first#nowwatching In the Mouth of Madness (1994) Oh, f📕k yeah. This is the highlight of Carpenter's 90s career. This one is an all timer. A film that asks, what's it like to lose your mind? What if reality was as thin as parchment, and as fragile? What if Stephen King was God and everyone hated him?
positive · AI labelView post →Watched "In the Mouth of Madness" last night, which is a movie all about how Southern Ontario is the most terrifying place on earth.
positive · AI labelView post →The Sam Neill tributes will rightly focus on his achievements in Jurassic Park, The Piano, Hunt For the Wilderpeople etc. But he also gave what I think are three of the greatest horror movie performances of all time: Possession (1981), In The Mouth Of Madness (1994) and Event Horizon (1997) .
neutral · AI labelView post →In the Mouth of Madness is so gorgeously shot for a movie that is shooting for pulp vibes. The wide compositions and the 70s feeling blacks are so classy
positive · AI labelView post →Do you read Sutter Cane? You’ll be able to this Halloween... Echo On Publications has announced IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, a meta novelization of John Carpenter‘s cosmic horror film.
neutral · AI labelView post →17. John Carpenter has the highest number of stone cold genre classics. Halloween. Escape from NY. The Thing. Big Trouble. Prince of Darkness. They Live. In the Mouth of Madness. & more! Absurd. 18. The Descent (Brit version) is a perfect film. 19. X-Files's Home is an all time great horror movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →With all the praise for Sam Neill's work going around in the wake of his passing I wanted to throw in In the Mouth of Madness which is not only my favorite John Carpenter movie but the best Lovecraftian horror movie ever made IMO. It's a great film anchored by his flawless performance.

I wrote an essay for the booklet essay and argued that the film has a lot in common with Looney Tunes. www.arrowfilms.com/in-the-mouth...

neutral · AI labelView post →God, I can't believe it took me until Sam Neill passed away to finally get around to watching In The Mouth of Madness. The Thing is still my favorite John Carpenter movie, but this is a REAL easy close second.

neutral · AI labelView post →IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1994) is my favorite Horror movie, bar none. I think it is John Carpenter’s scariest movie. I like the meta-ness of it. The Lovecraftian cosmic horror. The setting in the world of books and publishing. And of course, the long, unnerving look at the nature of reality.
positive · AI labelView post →My mom walked out of the film IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, declaring it "just a bunch of spooky stuff happening for no reason" which is both an incredibly apt description of the movie and why I love it so much

neutral · AI labelView post →Glenn Erickson of CineSavant writes that director John Carpenter applies himself to a solid attempt to nail down the H.P. Lovecraft ethos on film with In The Mouth of Madness. trailersfromhell.com/in-the-mouth...
neutral · AI labelView post →Event Horizon. Or In the Mouth of Madness. Really, any Sam Neill horror film tends to go pretty hard.
neutral · AI labelView post →The other thing I always think of with Sam Neill is he was the bad guy in Memoirs of an Invisible Man and Chevy Chase was so horrible to work with on that film that John Carpenter nearly quit the film business after. But when John did In the Mouth of Madness he gladly worked with Neill again.

neutral · AI labelView post →Everyone is revisiting "In the Mouth of Madness", but may I suggest also taking another look at Carpenter's previous film - "Memoirs of an Invisible Man". It's better than its reputation claims it is, and Sam Neill is a great villain in it.
neutral · AI labelView post →What’s a “comfort” horror watch you don’t mind playing often? #filmsky In The Mouth Of Madness is some seriously lovecraftian nonsense and I love Sam Neil
positive · AI labelView post →In the Mouth of Madness is both an underrated Carpenter film and an underrated Sam Neil film. I do feel like it's been gaining in recognition lately though. #FrightClub
positive · AI labelView post →Of the two new line cinema movies I watched today (not on purpose, I forgot both were new line cinema until the opening credits rolled), In the Mouth of Madness is clearly the superior film lol
positive · AI labelView post →Finally found the John Carpenter movie that’s totally on my wavelength. It’s IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS
positive · AI labelView post →IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is such an excellent horror movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Carpenter identifies our relationship with horror and fear as something driven by our culture and something ancient in In The Mouth of Madness. Another film that only becomes more relevant with time, Madness gives Sam Neill his best performance and Carpenter one of his all-time masterpieces.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched In the Mouth of Madness with Red and friends. I really dug this more on rewatch. With the ending the way it, it really does make a lot of the direction and storytelling decisions all the more clear. Plus, the whole implications of everything makes this Carpenter's most unsettling film.

neutral · AI labelView post →ppl are already riding for it in the wake of his passing but you really do need to see In The Mouth Of Madness at least once. it really is just that good as a film imo, it earns every accolade. life in the big '26 really does feel like we're all, that final shot
positive · AI labelView post →Day Movie - Rewatching In The Mouth of Madness. The opening credits equate the printing of a pop horror novel to a rock and roll concert and yeah, that rules. Sam Neill is so ridiculously good!
