In the Mouth of Maddness
 

Just saw this the other, and I thought that it was one of the biggest pieces of crap I've ever seen. I mean it was really good until you get to the end, I mean there is no ending, he's watching the movie version of the book and that's it, no closure. That wasn't a clifhanger ending that left room for a sequle, that was just ending the movie in the middle of the story!

It was stupied I thought.

HEATHEN!!!! :mad:

LOL




I LOVE this movie...I've watched it quite a few times...Just watched it again about a month ago :cool:

guess someone's not a lovecraft fan then :rolleyes:

This is such an underated movie from John Carpenter, one of the best modern American horror films in IMO

Igreed.

I´ve seen that movie half a dozen times (maybe a dozen). Love it from beginning to end.

I enjoyed it also, I have seen it twice I think. I do admit to liking the first half better than the second half, but I personally thought the ending was solid.

I really enjoyed this movie...I've seen it a few times, I thought it was good....

I've always been on the fence with this one, but I certainly liked some of the scenes.

In particular that REALLY WEIRD, WEIRD "kid on the bicycle" bit--man, that was profoundly unnerving.

I also felt that it was a daring departure for Carpenter. Normally his movies are straight logic, and they're fun because they're stable. This was effective in an unstable and illogical way. Carpenter is generally willing to take a chance on an odd idea or approach.

I think it's really all a matter of perspective. If you keep yourself open to each film you watch, being careful not to impose your own expectations of how a story should proceed, you'll be in a better position to appreciate it. Sometimes, it takes a few viewings to get into Carpenter's films. Others for me being: They Live, Prince of Darkness, and Christine.

wow...how can you trash that movie!?
dont know if anyone here remember but its because of that movie im even on this forum.

I just luuuuv In the Mouth of Madness

I like it also. I don't love it, but I have only watched it once.

I may view it tonight, as a matter of fact.

To the OP: you thought it was stupid, seriously? That's surprising to me, as pretty much anyone I've talked to about the movie has liked, if not loved it, most certainly including myself. You must have a rare taste. I can say that you may get a little more out of the film if you read some Lovecraft, to see what Carpenter and crew were riffing off.

My first non-intro post. Go me.

Great movie! Never listen too Prelude95Si he smokes crack.

this movie had alot going for it,it could'a been so sweet.it had a strong opening and a weak closing and that for me was it's down fall.as a rule i think most remakes are a bad idea,but i would'nt mind seeing this little honey remade.

I thought Sam Neil was tereffic in it.

He could be the new century´s Vincent Price if he wanted to. But i guess he don´t.

As far as movies based on Lovecraft stories/themes go, this one was probably the best I've seen. I thought the film was okay until the end, it didn't really end. I'm a big fan of HP Lovecraft(even if he was one racist son of a bitch.) I'm still waiting for someone to make the definitive Lovecraft movie.

Thank you Mother mold and Kemal for seeing what I ment about the ending.

Re: In the Mouth of Maddness
 

That's one of my favorite endings ever!

You just don't get it. :p

I thought the entire movie was cool!
