ABCs of Horror 2: 'I' Is for 'In the Mouth of Madness' (1994) -- John Carpenter's trippy ode to H.P. Lovecraft and the power of horror fiction is also a classic starring turn for Sam Neill. horror horrormovies TheHorrorMaster
as potentially the last great film of Carpenter’s career, to be mentioned in the same breath as his better-known gems. It’s a strange, delirious odyssey—uneven without a doubt, but visually inspired and anchored by a strong central performance from an actor who seems to understand exactly what is needed of him.
That performance comes courtesy of Sam Neill, one year removed from the biggest starring role of his life in Spielberg’s, and thus likely at the peak of his fame in the eyes of American audiences. He’s playing John Trent, a no-nonsense freelance insurance investigator who is hired by a book publisher to look into the apparent disappearance of bestselling horror author Sutter Cane, who the film dutifully informs us “outsells Stephen King,” so you know he’s clearly a big deal.
Perhaps the director simply embraced his lifelong dalliance with the darkness when crafting this bleak outlook. Or perhaps the chaos of our current everyday existence will soon vindicate the fear he seemed to feel for the world that was coming.Tags
