John Carpenter, in a 2004 interview, said he made In The Mouth Of Madness as campy as he could - so as to veil the true profundity of the real horrific concepts that lurk beneath the surface of the story.
This is a movie that actually goes MUCH deeper than its skin, and the issues it so playfully addresses are mind warping when you know the science, the mythology, and the psychology that the story are really pointing toward.
I'm gonna see if I can't use this footage from the movie and find a good metal track that goes along with it. I'm sure I will come up with something probably even better than this. come check it out judge for yourselves.
who else thinks this sounds like Enter Sandman? even the exact same drumming in beginning basically. but this was before so maybe Metallica were high & watching this movie one night & wrote a similar song
I got it on video but i only got 2 dvd players ;) but i will still keep the film till i get it on DVD...This film blew my mind away....Carpenters best.
I seen this around a year or 2 back and one of the lines in the film was "if the whole world turns insane and you where the only sane person left alive then it would be you who was crazy" or somthing along them lines.
"Reality is just what we tell each other it is. Sane and insane could easily switch places if the insane were to become the majority. You would find yourself locked in a padded cell wondering what happened to the world."
I saw the TV version and it was mental! Seriously one of the most thought provokative things I've ever seen that doesn't come from Rob Zombie or the Saw movies. Really high octane fun right there.
Well, I for one am A fan of the Halloween remake and I think that the 1st 2 Saws were epic 9 only ones I've seen so far), but this film shows what can happen to the mind rather than body as in typical horrror films.
And I've always loved how this song opens up the movie. I get chills when the New Line Cinema logo appears and the gentle guitar starts playing, and then the music seriously ramps up. It's like the movie is telling you that your sanity is about to get a foot in the ass.
Thanks for posting this! Never heard the full song before, and I like the creepy middle section.
I love John Carpenters movies, especially The Thing but In The Mouth Of Madness is very good too. Also John Carpenter writes most of the songs for his movies, and this one is the best I've ever heard, the guitar kicks ass in this song.
This is a precious master-piece,but wouldn't it work better all together if Trent discovered in an end twist that he's the one really suffering from psychosis and everything up until then in the movie is therefore his delusion and therefore how it really feels like being "in the mouth of madness"?I think it should've ended just like that.
PELICULA WENISIMA...como las que me gustan!!!q viva jhon carpenter y sus pelis: Thing, The Fog, Children of the Damned, They Live, entre otras.....moderno clásico del cine de terror..............
I rented this film when i was 11 and i loved it. I understood it all, i cant believe how there were critics that said the story was too complicated. They said the same with "Prince of darkness" i saw that movie when i was 12, i didnt find it complicated either, are these critics retards????
HOLY SHIT... no way... i cannot believe this is happening

Agreed. It would deserve a remake but it would probably end up in the other end of the spectrum: 90min of superb special effects and no plot.
