Summary: An excellent and frightful movie
Review: A truly interesting movie. Most of these horror movies do nothing for me, but this one gave me chills. Contrary to some reviews I have read the ending does not degrade the movie but merely displays an excellent wrap around type effect if you carefully follow what happend. A must see.

Summary: One of the best horror films ever made.
Review: John Carpenter is my favorite director and H.P. Lovecraft is my favorite author. So, to me, this movie is bliss. A deeply frightening story that does it's worst scaring long after you've seen it. Watch it, and you will understand.

Summary: In The Mouth Of Madness
Review: I thought that this was an excellent horror movie. I like the concept of Reality being mixed with fiction and not being able to tell what is real. I think that this is one of the best horroe movies of the 90's along with Event Horizion. I just wanted to know what story by H.P. Lovecraft this was based on.

Summary: A maddening dissapointment
Review: This film represents both the best and the worst of John Carpenter. Initially, the premise is fascinating, combining an original approach to the horror genre with an alomst suffocating sense of paranoia...then come the special effects. The last half of the film degenerates into yet another pointless exercise in the hight-tech gross-out--all at the expense of plot and characterization. Suddenly we are wrenched out of the horrifying realm of primal nightmare that Carpenter crafted so well in films like Halloween and The Fog to the adolescent appeal to special effects that overtook some of his later films (does Christine ring any bells?). Most of the plot of the film is an outright theft of the writings of H.P. Lovecraft--even the title is a rip-off of Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness. H.P. deserves better than this, and so do fans of the horror genre. Skip it.

Summary: CARPENTER'S BEST TO-DATE
Review: Forget about the dissappointing remake of Village of the Damned. This underappreciated horror is suprisingly suspenseful and so atmospheric it'll grab your attention and never let go. A little bit dissappointing near the end but regains its disturbing power at finale. Even if you're not a John Carpenter's fan or even a horror buff, this movie will leave you in the mouth of madness for the rest of the evening. Buy this one.

Summary: Among the top Horror Films of our Times
Review: I've seen a lot of horror and sci-fi movies, and this is among the best. For anyone who likes to read, this movie is a must. It blurs the boundary between what's fact and what's fiction. Neill goes in search of the elusive horror writer Sutter Cane, and finds that perhaps he is more than a good horror writer. The movie is scary without all of the expensive special effects that other movies rely upon to scare the audience. The ending is classic. This movie may make you want to think twice about settling down with a good book...

Summary: Best horror film of the '90s
Review: John Carpenter has been to hell and back and now he wants us to know what it is like! No other movie this decade can compare with the disturbing imagery of Madness. Sutter Cane is the top selling horror novelist in the world, but it appears that Cane's writings are having no shortage of ill effects on his readers. Cane is writing to bring about the end of the world and it looks like he just might succeed! Carpenter spares no expense in the dementia department and pulls no punches with the gore. Along with Event Horizon & Lord of Illusions this is a 90's classic!

Review: This movie is so scary you will have nightmares for years! Sam Neill is absolutely fantastic for the part! This is quite possibly his best movie!

Summary: Leaves something to be desired
Review: If I was an avid fan of John Carpenter, perhaps I would have found the movie more appealing. After viewing it two times, I still find it lacking. First, Julie Carmen STINKS! She lends no support to Sam Neill... (can someone please tell me what he's doing in this movie?! He's so much better than this!) She's stiff and I found this distracting. The plot, although potentially good, failed to deliver. I saw the movie twice just to find any redeeming qualities. While there are some good parts to it, my overall review is that there are better movies to spend your time watching.

Summary: This is one great movie!!
Review: This is the best movie John Carpenter did since Halloween. His creepy style of music and plot makes this a bone chilling movie. It is well thought out and definetly should not be a disappointment to anyone. If you like creepy movies and music, then this is a must have.Movies that I would also recommend is: (1) Event Horizon
(2) Scream 1 and 2
(3) From Dusk till Dawn
(4) Maximum Overdrive
