Sutter Cane (Jurgen Prochnow, The Seventh Sign) is the best-selling author whose newest novel is literally driving readers insane. When he inexplicably vanishes, his publisher (Academy Award® winner Charlton Heston*) sends special investigator John Trent (Sam Neill, Jurassic Park, Dead Calm) to track him down. Drawn to a town that exists only in Cane's books, Trent crosses the barrier between fact and fiction and enters a terrifying world from which there is no escape. Inspired by the tales of H.P. Lovecraft, this shocking story is, in the words of its acclaimed director, "horror beyond description!"

Critics Consensus: If it fails to make the most of its intriguing premise, In the Mouth of Madness remains a decent enough diversion for horror fans and John Carpenter completists.

Reviews

The Age (Australia)

Adrian Martin

Carpenter's work with music and sound design has never been so radical and the film's set pieces are breathtakingly executed.

John Carpenter's 1994 finale to his Apocalypse Trilogy is a no-holds-barred blitzkrieg of horror that will have you watching the movie a second time just to confirm that you did indeed see what you think you saw.

Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying

Kristy Strouse

In the Mouth of Madness is a film that defies expectations and promises to be an unsettling journey. Imaginative and distinct, it’s a treat for all horror fans to embrace with plenty of tricks along the way.

In the Mouth of Madness isn't John Carpenter's best horror movie to date, but it may well be his scariest.

While it's more ambitious than most Carpenter works from this period, it's not any more satisfying.
