Movie Description
IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is John Carpenter's foray into the world of H.P. Lovecraft and surreal horror. An insurance investigator (Sam Neill) is sent to find a missing author, Sutter Cane (Jurgen Prochnow). As he comes closer to finding the author, things start to change around him, and soon nothing is what it seems. Madness seems to be the normal state of things, while reason and sanity have no place in this new world created by the mind of Sutter Cane. Carpenter plays with changing perspective, making the audience aware thay they too are part of the story, and maybe, just maybe, this is not just make believe. The story is very ambitious in its attempt to put a whammy on the viewer's imagination, but the direction is steady and thoughtful enough to pull it off. Sam Neill is superb in the lead role of the only sane man left on Earth, incredulous to the destruction of reality as he knows it. It is his controlled performance that makes the bizarre events in the film threatening and scary. Jurgen Prochnow is deeply creepy as author and madman Sutter Cane, who's imagination is so vivid it is spilling out of his head into the real world. John Carpenter is known for his scary movies, and he does not fail to deliver with IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS.

Notes
Theatrical release: Febuary 3, 1995.

Some of John Carpenter's favorite films are the Quatermass pictures made by Hammer Studios in the 1960s. As homage to the films, Carpenter named the town Hobb's End in IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS after a town in QUATERMASS AND THE PIT (1967).
   
The screenplay for IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS was so heavily influenced by the works of H.P. Lovecraft that the producers gave him a screen credit, even though there is no direct adaptation of any of his works in the film.

Editorial Reviews
"...[Carpenter] has a ball mixing fun and fright..."
Travers

"...Nightmarish....Carpenter's best movie in years." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Michael Sauter (07/21/1995)

"...It's a nifty idea, and director John Carpenter keeps the story moving....The film has a nice balance of popular and cult appeal..."
Variety - Leonard Klady (02/06/1995)

"...[A] sardonic, increasingly wild-eyed nightmare....Mr. Carpenter has devised himself a cinematic hall of mirrors..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (02/03/1995)

"...Carpenter begins in a low key, building tension slowly but steadily, in a first-rate display of style and craftsmanship..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (02/03/1995)

    Directed by John Carpenter in 1995 this film stars Sam Neill, Charlton Heston, Julie Carmen, David Warner & Jurgen Prochnow. It begins with Neill in a padded cell asking Warner to locate horror writer Prochnow. Neill agrees but when he finds Prochnow in a small New England town the real life horror begins! The people and places begin to under go a terrible transformation. The story starts out well enough...edge of the seat stuff until about 2/3 the way through and then it is a let down. Very pointless. I don't understand why Carpenter didn't follow through because this was an excellent movie up until near the end.
