Sutter Cane (Jürgen Prochnow, Dune, The Seventh Sign) is the best-selling author whose newest novel is literally driving readers insane. When he inexplicably vanishes, his publisher (Charlton Heston, Soylent Green, Planet Of The Apes) sends special investigator John Trent (Sam Neill, Jurassic Park, Dead Calm) to track him down. Drawn to a town that exists only in Cane’s books, Trent crosses the barrier between fact and fiction and enters a terrifying world from which there is no escape.
Inspired by the tales of H.P. Lovecraft, this shocking story is, in the words of its acclaimed director, “horror beyond description!”
“This is terror at its most delicious.” – Almar Haflidason, BBC.com
“A thinking person’s horror picture that dares to be as cerebral as it is visceral.” – Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
“This is one of the best Lovecraft adaptations committed to film and it’s not even based on any of his works!” – Michelle Kisner, The Movie Sleuth
“The most simplified stories are often the best ones…it’s not just an entertaining Twilight Zone-esque film, you can real” – Chris Stuckmann, ChrisStuckmann.com
In the Mouth of Madness is another marvelous work of art by John Carpenter, albeit a lesser known work.” – Molly Henery, The Blogging Banshee
“[The] movie has a lot to say about the dangers of cultural obsession and what happens when you give yourself over to the creators you idolize.” – Sean Fennessey, The Ringer
