    Sometimes I think about how Hollywood won’t give Guillermo Del Toro the money to make his At the Mountains of Madness movie

    #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?

    This was the mainstream, normie opinion about movie aspect ratios in the 90's! People would get actively mad if it wasn't in pan-and-scan! Blockbuster would *exclusively* carry pan-and-scan versions of movies well into the DVD era. Madness bsky.app/profile/emit...

    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) .

    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

    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.

    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 don't like Multiverse of Madness. It's a mid-ass movie that didn't use Raimi's skills as a director fully. But I'm grateful it exists for no other reason than Raimi ended up casting Rachel McAdams in Send Help after noticing how underutilized she was in MCU stuff. Chad move.
