In the Mouth of Madness (1995)
Directed by John Carpenter
GOOD FLICK which absolutely holds up over time if you give it a little bit of leeway.
Suspense, horror, supernatural elements, mystery, good writing, good acting = WORTH WATCHING or owning. Sam Neil, an insurance investigator, searches for the mysteriously missing thriller writer and finds himself inside a story within a story. This is one of the best and probably more unknown John Carpenter films. A cameo by Charlton Heston is quirky – why did he take this role – money!? Honestly it’s not a perfectly made film so you can pick up the 1995 feeling sometimes, but it’s a very cool story that plays with your mind and the film evokes that nicely. It feels like an homage to Steven King.
