With « In the Mouth of Madness », John Carpenter delivers his strangest, most deranged movie ever; a terrifying tale which, at its center, discusses the power of creation, and the place of the author and its spectators. The director probably saw in Sutter Cane -the movie’s antagonist- a lot of himself: a beloved author, largely missunderstood, but who takes joy in shattering their cosy world to reveal who they truly are, through what they truly fear... A masterpiece of haunting imagery and nightmarish storytelling; Carpenter’s best!
