In The Mouth of Madness








(1994) ***

Another awesome John Carpenter film! It is Carpenter's homage to Lovecraft, as you can see by the huge, swirling mass of a monster. Do you read Sutter Cane? Books that make the reader go mad, I tell ya!

Well, its about an insurance investigator who gets hired to find a missing horror writer, Sutter Cane. The investigator John Trent(Sam Neil) thinks the whole deal is a publicity stunt, but he finds the fictional town, among other surprises.

John Carpenter's last film of note, in my opinion.

Every Horrorthoner should see this one.
