When you don't want to sleep at night.
Release Date: February 3, 1995
Starring: Sam Neill, Julie Carmen, Jurgen Prochnow, David Warner
Genre: Lovecraftian horror
Plot Summary: John Trent, an insurance investigator, is hired to look into the disappearance of horror writer Sutter Cane. His investigation takes him to Hobb's End, a town that can't be found on any map and only appears to exist in Cane's books. Once he arrives, he realizes that Cane's novels may be more than just fiction.
Favorite Scene: Trent and Styles debate whether or not Sutter Cane's stories are scary on the drive up to Hobb's End.
Favorite Quote: "It's not real from your point of view and right now reality shares your point of view...A reality is just what we tell each other it is. Sane and insane could easily switch places, if the insane were to become the majority. You would find yourself locked in a padded cell, wondering what happened to the world."
Notable Trivia: In the Mouth of Madness is part of John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy.
Final Thoughts: In my opinion, this is the best movie John Carpenter has ever made. I love that there isn't a clear ending and you're left to decide if the events in the movie really happened, or if John Trent has gone insane. If you'd like to hear more about the movie, I have a post about it here.
