The third and final chapter in John Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy (along with THE THING and PRINCE OF DARKNESS), IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is the only film out of those three that remains divisive among audiences. We think that's a little unfair, as it could very well be the most genuinely disconcerting movie he made in the 1990s. The film follows the account of former insurance investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) as he weaves a reality-bending, apocalyptic tale that pits him toe-to-toe with popular horror novelist Sutter Kane (Jürgen Prochnow) and his latest book, which could very end up...Hear our take on the film and on the critique of SISKEL AND EBERT!SUBSCRIBE TODAY!Visit thecultworthy.comVisit https://www.themoviewire.comVideo: https://www.youtube.com/@back2thebalcony
