An unexpected treat
Insurance claims expert John Trent (Sam Neill) Goes off on a search for missing horror author Sutter Cane (Jürgen Prochnow), convinced his disappearance is a hoax. Once Trent goes looking for the missing author, he’s lead to Hobb’s End, a supposedly fictional New England town, to discover that something very wrong is going on…and Sutter Cane is responsible. “In the Mouth of Madness” came as a delightful surprise to me.

I rented the DVD solely because I’d been wandering the video store shelves for close to 45 minutes (I have a little too much free time) and figured I’d be kicked out so I grabbed a handful of movies. This was one of them, and let me tell you I’m sure glad I did, because this is a damn fine flick!

To start, Sam Neill is excellent, as is Mr. Prochnow. The only bad performer here is Julie Carmen (Regina from Fright Night 2), who gives a wooden and thoroughly unconvincing “when-the-hell-do-I-get-my-paycheck?” performance.

Michael De Luca’s script is sharp enough to never takes itself too seriously, while at the same time it can be very scary and dark. John Carpenter’s direction was top-notch. Some of the guy’s recent films have been…disappointing, to say the least, but here he delivers the gore, suspense and action like a pro.

The special effects are great. The boys over at KNB effects studios cook up lots of monsters, gore and slime, delivering the goods as usual. The creatures here are indeed reminiscent of Carpenter’s “The Thing”, their creative and all look very lovecraftian in design.

At times the film can be extremely scary. The old trick of using darkness and shadows to convey creepiness that Carpenter’s so good at are present and good as ever.

“In the mouth of madness” pulled all the right strings and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

8/10.

Oh, and great ending.

Carpenter does Lovecraft!
Carpenter is a genius of horror movies. They are not just mindless boo scares and gory torture porn, they have a story, they draw you in, they make you part of it. That is why In the Mouth of Madness is ironic, since it is about people getting drawn in someone else’s story.

What I didn’t know, but I suspected, was that this film was inspired by H.P.Lovecraft. And if you know anything about that guy, not only was he an influential horror writer himself, kickstarting the horror genre in the 20th century, but his books and stories are almost impossible to translate to screen, as they are always introspections of people of a certain type, people that would feel really outdated and out of place in the modern world. Yet the writer does manage to bring H.P.’s grand madness to the screen, by mixing it up with a little Stephen King magic.

Indeed, this is like a horror fan’s dream come true: Carpenter making a movie to answer the question “What would Stephen King write if he had Lovecraft’s madness?”. The writer is Michael de Luca, who also wrote the script for Lawnmower Man, another movie about breaking the limits of reality.

Now, the film is not perfect. It is a bit cheesy at times and the movie feels dated, even for 1994. The cast helps bring it to life. Even if Sam Neil is basically carrying the film by his lonesome, you can still enjoy Jurgen Prochnow, Charlton Heston and David Warner in secondary roles, as well as a kind of weakly written role for Fright Night’s Julie Carmen.
