Tim M @tgmacman Jul 26 While its literary inspirations make for some memorable visuals, In the Mouth of Madness and its scary story is hardly a page-turner. See more Max M @Househuntermax Jul 23 I remember seeing this in the theater and not liking it. Just watched it again and still don’t like it. It just didn’t seem too scary or compelling to me. It’s popular so you might wanna check it out, but my personal recommendation is skip it. See more Jay A @PistolPackingPresley Jul 21 It just didn't keep my steady attention. Movie was just to all over the place. See more Jonathan O @RT41230270 Jun 18 It not be the best John Carpenter's trilogy of apocalypse but the ending is a great twist of horror movie and what really surprisingly little Anakin Skywalker is in the this scene as a paperboy. See more Christian K @ckacar May 25 The ending does a great job re-contextualizing the entire film, particularly Sam Neil's insane roller coaster of a performance. See more Wayne K @RT88290232 Apr 30 The concluding episode of John Carpenters ‘Apocalypse Trilogy’, made when the legendary director’s career was very much on the downslide, the glory days of Halloween and The Thing firmly in the rear-view mirror. It’s a fun film, albeit an inconsistent one, with a commanding central performance from Sam Neill who gives it his all while struggling with a muddled screenplay. It’s hard to buy a lot of what’s happening because the film makes it so obvious that its not, despite its whole ‘fantasy becoming reality’ concept. The ambitions of the special effects far outstrip the budget, looking very 90s in the worst way. It’s similar to Prince Of Darkness in a lot of ways, lacking much of the tension and horror that made Carpenter great but with a compelling bizarre appeal. It’s an enjoyable film for sure, but you’ll miss nothing by skipping it. See more Read all reviews
