IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1995)

In the Mouth of Madness is a tale based on H.P. Lovecraft's writing, and if you know Lovecraft then you know how extraordinarily refined and chilling his writing is. This film is not deviating from Lovecraft's creativity--it is right on the money. In the Mouth of Madness is about John Trent (Sam Neill) and his quandary with madness.  The madness is as painfully real and nerve-racking as being tied up and seeing something abhorrent approaching and slowly clawing for you. The trick question is: where is the madness? Intrinsic or Extrinsic?
