I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2024 MOVIE CHALLENGE.
WEEK 37: A THRILLER OR SUSPENSE FILM
Review: Sutter Cane is the author of a famous horror series. Cane has gone missing
and so is the manuscript of his last book. No copy of it exists. According to
insiders, the book is said to be so terribly scary that it drives readers to
madness. Cane’s publisher appoints insurance investigator John Trent to find
the author and his work. This search leads John to the isolated village of Hobb’s
End in the state of New England, where the true nightmare begins.
John Carpenter is most known
for his horror films “Halloween” and “The Thing”. Atmosphere is something Carpenter
manages to create best and this is also something very present in “In the Mouth
of Madness”. The film is suspenseful and very creepy and disturbing. It’s a
low-budget film and he lets his imagination run wild. It has a H.P. Lovecraft and
Stephen King vibes. The film is not for light-sensitive souls.
I really enjoyed
it, even though it’s very weird and scary.
