This is the kind of movie that you either love or hate. It is not your typical movie so not everyone might like it. I would recommend it only if you are a different kind of person that enjoy weird movies; for example dark city, memento, etc.

This is one of the greatest cult classics of our time. Sam Neill (Event Horizon) plays his best role ever. With a more independent feel to it, John Carpenter takes you for a ride to edge and back. A Creative plot that keeps you wondering. So if you’re the type that likes a good twisting this is the movie for you.

To enjoy a movie of this calibre, one has to have a strong suspension of disbelief, one has to have a vivid imagination, and one must be intelligent enough to be able to process and extrapolate the underlying concept of the movie that makes it so frightening: Reality is the product of the consensus of belief/perception among the participants...what if the world of H.P.Lovecraft's horrific vision were to gradually BECOME reality? Now you're stepping into the world of "In The Mouth Of Madness."

I have to agree with the bad reviews - I was all set to like this, I like a lot of John Carpenters movies, but the "inside joke" plot seemed utterly pointless to me and the thing just went round and round till it reached nowhere. I think it's one of those "luvvit or hate it" movies and sadly I gotta side with the latter.

Was very disappointed in this film. Expecting more because of Sam Neill and it being an H.P. Lovecraft story. Don't understand the good reviews the movie is receiving. If you go into seeing this film with very low expectations, you may be satisfied. Maybe.

This was one of the most dumbest, stupidest, idiotic movies I've ever seen! I shut if off 1/2 way through. How it ever got a 3 1/2 rating--is so incomprehensible!
