Thank you for this. I saw it in 1994 in a theater and I was literally the only one there. So when Sam Neil is in the Theater by himself I was looking around freaked the hell out.
Oh to have been a fly on the wall in that theatre! 😆
That’s so awesome, creepy af but AWESOME
If I was there, I'd lean over and ask...
...
...
"Do you read Sutter Cane?"
Dude I bet that was insane! This movie is an underrated classic
Similar experience, though my soon to be wife and I were just some of the very few in there. Big Carpenter and Lovecraft fan.
John Carpenter calls In The Mouth of Madness the final chapter in his “apocalypse trilogy," which includes The Thing and Prince of Darkness, but in reality it's more like his H.P. Lovecraft trilogy, since that's the style and atmosphere those films really evoke.
Yeah, especially this film as it borrows so much from Lovecrafts stories and even has a pseudo- H.P. Lovecraft in the film itself. I'm still hoping for Guillermo Del Toro to eventually make At The Mountains of Madness but I realize it's likely a lost cause at this point.
Except he has stated, himself, people don't understand the word "trilogy"...he's referring to idiots, of course. LOL!
I really don't feel like the Thing has Lovecraftian elements, despite being one of my favorite movies ever
@@chiyo-chanholocaust8143 The Thing was based on John W. Campbell's short story, ‘Who Goes There?' which was itself inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's novel, ‘At The Mountains of Madness.'
@@chiyo-chanholocaust8143 The Thing has a creature that is an Alien from the farthest reaches of space and crashed on Earth over 100k years ago in the Arctic or whatever and is eventually discovered by "Scientists" and then it's thawed out and kills pretty much everyone.
Plus, all of the attributes of the creature, all of the insectoid/Arachnid legs, the numerous tentacles, the ability to transform into anything it comes into contact with.
The Thing seems to be very similar to At The Mountains of Madness by H.P. Lovecraft, it's almost the same basic premise.
You might want to read that story if you haven't because there are so many similarities between that story and The Thing.
Even the original novella, "Who Goes There?" by John Campbell that all three Thing films are based on is kind of Lovecraftian in nature.
A lot of people, myself included, consider this to be John Carpenter's last truly great film. Vampires, Ghosts of Mars, The Ward and his two Masters of Horror entries (Cigarette Burns and Pro-Life) are all great, but nothing close to this.
Yeah, I would agree with that, some of his following movies are entertaining but not as memorable
Lol, well, I wouldn't call those 'great', but they weren't as bad as many say.
I liked In The Mouth of Madness, but I still don't think it can compare to Carpenter's work from 1976-1986. I think Carpenter was never the same after Big Trouble In Little China flopped due to 20th Century Fox not even trying to promote the film.
Did you know that "Ghosts Of Mars" was supposed to be another "Escape From..." movie? It didn't come to fruition because of how poorly "Escape From L.A." did in the theater, and so rewrites were done to make it into another movie
Cigarette Burns is far better
John Carpenter composes the soundtrack music. I did extra work for him in the eighties and he is a superchill dude.
This was the movie that got me hooked to the horror genre.
I don't care what people say, for me this is horror.
Of course it is. It's lovecraftian to a T, unsettling, gory, makes you question your perception of reality...
I still close my eyes at THAT scene!
"We've only just begun" has a great part in the movie "1408" Which is def worth checking out.
"He likes the letter T" the wife is like 🙄. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's definitely not the worst. He's great
Great movie.
HUGELY underrated.
One of the best film inspired by the lore of HP Lovecraft that is not a direct adaptation of one of his stories. Another one is the 2016 film The Void (a must watch).
The other inspiration is, of course, Stephen King, directly named in the movie.
Sam Neil, is as always excellent and Carpenter create a fantastically confusing athmosphere so we always question what is real and what is not.
A very solid entry and truly among Carpenter's best.
"Underrated" implies most people don't like it, when the reality is that most people don't know about it. People who've never seen it can't rate it at all.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks
Maybe you're right on the definition of underrated, though when it came out it left many confused and the critics on it weren't great and even today, that's not the first movie that jumps to mind when thinking of Carpenter and that's a real shame because it's a great horror movie.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks I agree. More like a hidden gem
I second The Void as a must-watch! Also recommend 2019's Color Out of Space starring Nicolas Cage!
@@matthalaboo6694
Agreed.
Apart from being a very solid adaptation of the novella, color out of space is trippy and truly terrifying at times.
Carpenter's a treasure. This one is extra special. I'm so glad you're giving it a look. Here we go!
“Or is this ultra meta-and that’s the book adaptation of the movie?“
Yes.
Sutter Cane is sorta based on Stephen King, but more so H.P. Lovecraft.
Certain tropes that are pretty common today originated about a century ago, and weird cosmic horror is now referred to as Lovecraftian, or Lovecraftian Horror.
Themes like, small towns run by a secretive religious cult, who worship Horrifying Monsters that are all indifferent to humanity, and so powerful that the sight of them is enough to send a person into deep into Madness...
Meant to be far beyond humanity’s notions of god or the devil,
Cosmic Horror, when originated,
was said to be able to put fear in the heart of an Atheist...
Yeah, I always thought Sutter Kane ... SK... Stephen King.
I remember watching this as a kid and the scene where she crawls out of the car freaked me right the f&*k out. I was a kid that watched all the horror movies without flinching, but for some reason that scene just gave me chills.
This movie is the biggest mindf--k from John Carpenter and it's also the final chapter in the Apocalypse Trilogy.
One of my favorite underrated films ever! It's an honest shame we don't have more Lovecraft inspired films.
The problem with Lovecraft is that it's very hard to translate much of his work to film. When something is "unknowsble" or never meant for human eyes, it's hard for a filmmaker to say "This is what he meant".
One of my FAVORITE horror movies ever! And one of the best Lovecraftian tales, even if it isn't by Lovecrat.
If you want more Lovecraftian/tentacle-y stuff, I HIGHLY recommend The Void. It's an indie flick, but well made, and they use practical effects (they had an indie gogo campaign to help raise money for the FX) it's icky, gooey and creepy!
Might I also suggest The Endless.
I'm very proud of you two for figuring the meta ending right at the beginning.
13:06 That is Hayden "Anakin Skywalker" Christiansen from Star Wars Episodes II & III.
Holy crap!
This is probably the closet anyone has gotten to doing a Lovecraft film
Other than Color out of Space?
Always loved how she hits someone with the car then he goes back to sleep and let’s her keep driving
In the Mouth of Madness taught me one of the most important lessons I've ever learned. Never throw chips at a driver.
There's a new movie that's coming out this year about Elvis that features Tom Hanks as Elvis' manager "The General".
Few people know that there was another Elvis movie that was directed by John Carpenter, and featured Kurt Russell as Elvis. "Elvis: The Movie" (1978). I think you guys should check that one out
It's been ages since I've seen this movie. When my niece asked me to recommend some horror movies she should watch, this was at the top of my list.
Best horror film of the 90s imo. Great H.P. Lovecraft Homage
When I was in high school there was this crazy party I was invited to. People were doing drugs, alcohol, and a lot of sex. But this movie was on and I was fascinated by it. Completely ignored the rest of the party (probably a hint of how much of a nerd I am). To this day, I still tell people about how wild this movie is.
You watched this while everyone around you was screwing? LOL!
@@Emulous79 and doing drugs. It was very meta.
Fun fact: Carpenter wanted to use Metallica's Enter Sandman for the opening and ending theme music. He couldn't get the rights, so he created a song that was inspired by it.
Ya gotta love a film that's shot in and around southern Ontario.
I used to drive through those towns on my way to work.
That big church is still there. It's changed hands a few time but it still looks impressive.
Fun fact: That's a young Hayden Christensen on the bike!
I'm surprised that, at no time do you see a TTC bus in the Toronto scenes.
Also the covered bridge is same one used in It chapter one and two.......kissing bridge outside st Jacob's (10 min from my house) I remember back when this was filming going to watch the scene with Hayden on bike being filmed.
The town scenes in Hobb's End were filmed on Main Street Unionville, and the exterior of the Black Church is actually the Cathedral of the Transfiguration. Both are located in Markham, Ontario.
This movie really scared me when I saw it in the theater for the first time. By then I had already seen The Thing, which also scared me a lot, but this one did it more. The claustrophobia of not being able to leave the town drove me crazy
Holy mother of das Boot, that's awesome! Randomly watched this on tv as a child, wasn't the best idea haha
John Carpenter is Richard and Karen Carpenter's brother. John was originally part of the Carpenters line up. So, yes, the Carpenters Reference in the beginning is a tease/punch at them as well. I LOVED this movie. It's been one of my favorites every since.
are you serious? I've been a fan of John's for years and never knew that.
I'm so glad you included the dialogue about Reality just being what people agree on and that sanity and insanity can switch places if the majority shifts...it really sums up a lot of Carpenter's and Lovecraft's work...but it's also applicable to religion, philosophy and the wider society in general, in that something can become true, simply when enough people believe it to be so
"Books on tape? How does that work? Don't the pages get stuck together?"
WOW this a memory, my dad rented this from blockbuster video about 4 times, he was drunk and went to sleep every time but still rented it because he thourght it looked good.
One of my favorite horror films, underrated gem
I absolutely love this movie, I used to show friends a bunch of Lovecraft inspired movies and finish off with this one cause usually in those the "heroes win in the end" either by diying or going mad so that the ancient evils don't get out and they hold off the apocalypse a little longer for humanity... but you can only hold off the end so long till the mythos wins.
FYI, HP lovecraft had the idea that some books are so crazy that if you view them you lose your sanity.
We see that idea at play in several ways here
19:58 - Dude!!! You should have edited this to replay over and over again and in slow motion to preserve for eternity.
I saw this movie in 1995, when it came out in theater. I was 15, I went alone and I was *alone* in the theater around the noon showing. This is the most memorable moment in theater in my life. I swear, I was sweating and I felt like Sam Neill in the theater scene, and I dug my fingers in the seat handles during the whole movie.
Definitely in my top three favorite Carpenter films, along with The Thing and Halloween.
How'd they find this awesome, giant church in the middle of nowhere?
Midwest Mormons: "HellOOOO! Over here!"
Probably John Carpenters most underrated film, certainly my favorite
Yes, please. I'm on board with this reaction already. Carpenter is the GOAT. Mr. Movies, do you plan on putting his movie Vampires on the list? It's quite underrated in my opinion.
I love that even in the movie poster within the movie, this is still a John Carpenter film.
Fun fact, the little kid on the bike is Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader)
this is a love letter to H.P. Lovecrafts horror (not his racism )
Pretty much everyone who lived in his time was racist...what is the point of bringing it up, as if it was a stand-out characteristic?
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks because he was more racist than most -I still enjoy HPL but you people make it hard
@@Glaaki13 "you people"?
@@Trusteft yes people that dont wanna see his racism and you that are a slimy racist
Favourite of the three is Prince of Darkness. Just the notion of the blend of divine and technology, the transmission of the warning back through time forming the basis of prophecy really tickled my wiggles.
"Divine"?
"Good morning, Adam. I just breathed life into you. You can call me God. This is Eden. Let me give you the tour.
You are my non-divine creation and these are the non-divine trees, feel free to eat of them.
Those are the divine trees, don't eat of them.
Now, these are the non-divine animals. Feel free to slaughter and eat them if you feel like it but occasionally burn one or two in my name, I like that.
These are the divine animals, don't kill or eat any of them.
Now your task is to think up good names for all these animals, starting with the non-divine ones.
Hm? Oh, them, they are my earlier _divine_ creations.
Hm? Oh, no, I've already named them. That's Ariel, Sariel, Arariel, Adriel, Azrael, Ananiel and Arakiel over there, Uriel, Muriel, Nuriel, Puriel, Turiel, and Zuriel over there, Raphael, Raguel, Ramiel and Raziel over there, Gabriel, Sabriel, Samael, Sarathiel and Kerubiel over there and Michael, Zadkiel, Zaphkiel, Zachariel, Zaqiel and Zephaniel over there. Hm? Oh, no, there's plenty more of them, you'll see.
Now, these are the non-divine lawns, you're free to mow them as you see fit, you'll find the non-divine lawnmower in the green shed over that hill.
Those are the divine lawns, don't worry about them, I've got Lucifer, he's my favorite, he's such a mischievous scamp, and his friends Tamiel, Kabaiel, Asbeel and Azazel, they take turns with the divine lawnmower. Oh, is that the time? I have some pressing matters to attend to but I'll be around and don't hesitate to tell me if you start to feel lonely or get strange physical urges, I have just the thing in mind, you're gonna fall head over heels, trust me.
(once he's out of earshot)
Oh, I'm going to mess up this guy and all his descendants sooo bad! Cain braining Abel. And the Flood. Ooh, I can't wait. Oh, note to self: create popcorn!"
Agreed...it takes me to the same mindset of movies as in Event Horizon, the whole scientific religiosity or just simply beyond what we can ever comprehend.
This one is probably the most recognizably Lovecraftian of the three, but all of them have heavy elements of Lovecraft in them. The Thing has an unquantifiable entity from the stars, Prince of Darkness involves a doomsday cult, and In the Mouth of Madness hosts a madman writing the key to the locked door holding back beings whose mere suggestion causes insanity. All of them inspire a slow-building sense of dread, a feeling of insignificance in the face of a cosmos of vast, alien and unknowable intelligence that not only doesn't care about you but likely doesn't notice you any more than you'd pay mind to the ants under your heel. Good stuff.
The little paperboy who tells Sam Neill how to find the highway is Hayden Christensen, who would go on to play the teenage version of Anakin Skywalker in Episode Two. 🐧🍎🍏💙
Fun fact: the young boy at the end of the film delivering newspapers, who gives Sam Neil directions to the highway, is played by Hayden Christensen. No sand was used in the filming of that scene, because it's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
Also fun fact: This film is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's work. The long running theme in a lot of his work was that of an unreliable narrator protagonist witnessing something that drove them insane, followed by a different character witnessing the aftermath and their commentary about it ('Lurker at the Threshold' is a great example of this). In this film, Sam Neil is the protagonist and we, the audience, are witnessing the aftermath. Lovecraft was known for 4 things: cosmic horror, changing from 1st person to 3rd person perspective mid story, an excessive use of adjectives and casual racism (he wrote in the 1920s & 30s).
Holy shit I’m so pumped to watch this one! In the Mouth of Madness is one of my all time favorite movies and one of John Carpenter’s absolute bests! Keep the videos coming, you both are by far my favorite new RUclips reactors!
Yay! I love this movie. Very glad you guys are finishing the Apocalypse Trilogy. Sam Neil is great in this and I love the mind-bending meta aspect of the horror in this. Are you sure you two aren’t just characters in a book that someone else is writing? 😅
If my life is a book whoever wrote it is poor. It’s a dumb story that goes nowhere with no lessons learned. And that’s just the people I interact with 😂😂😱
Whoever is writing my movie must be into melodramatic torture porn.
Sam Neil is a brilliant actor! This movie makes your mind think alot and then just blows up! Great movie! Rewatching this movie since it came out on VHS! Check out also The Night Flier ( based on Stephen King's short story) very underrated movie! Miguel Ferrer was great in it! R.I.P.
i really appreciate you guys, you make my days brighter everytime i watch y'all, you seem so relatable,funny and good people :) keep it up you got me hooked :)
Oh wow, finally people who react to this underrated classic! I love you :)
I adore this film. My friends also named their band 'Sutter Kane' as a tribute. Probably his weirdest film, and definitely underrated so I'm so happy you've reacted to it. It needs more love. 😊
My favorite Lovecraftian film. The Thing on the Doorstep is my favorite Lovecraft story. Lovecraft's work is all public domain and can be found online in pdf. Lovecraft's discourse on Cat's And Dogs is particularly hilarious. Lovecraft had serious issues with xenophobia, so bad it ruined his life, so keep that in mind if you read his work.
Part of what makes Lovecraft's fiction so compelling is that he was terrified and judgmental of like, everything. I don't mean that to say his xenophobia was justified because it aided in writing creepy stories (I don't feel that way at all), but his portrayal of almost everything different as "alien" definitely came through in his works.
@@Timeisaflat_O When what's in your head causes you to do things, things that make your life worse, that's mental illness which does very frequently play a part in artistic creation. Lovecraft's xenophobia was more than a part of his personality it was a mental illness. Phillip K Dick struggled with delusions and paranoia, and he wrote some of the most compelling works about the nature of reality and identity resulting in classic films like Blade Runner and Total Recall.
@@gallendugall8913 For sure. I was going to mention earlier that I believe that Lovecraft also had agoraphobia and other paranoid characteristics. He was a deeply troubled person on a number of levels, but it created a unique form of horror.
So glad to see someone react to this, just a real cerebral horror, where it's the situation that brings the feelings of terror, not so much gore or jump scares.
16:03 Even more so solidified my love for you guys!😂😂😂 As soon as I saw her I was thinking Happy Gilmore (top 5 all time favs) and then the back to back quotes... priceless. 😂😂😂👌🙌👏
13:10... FUN FACT: the kid on the bike is actually played by Hayden Christensen.
All padded cells are required to have a window so the patient can be observed for wellness and for status. Usually the window is smaller.
Loved your reaction. "Mouth" is a terrific film, probably Carpenter's last great film. 28:55 Anakin Skywalker!
Vampires was cool - the lens filters he used on the cameras at certain points really added some extra mood. His Ghosts of Mars was meh.
Yeah, and he’s giving a better performance in that one scene than in the entire prequel trilogy.
Fun fact: The boy on the bike is 13yo Hayden Christensen, in his 2nd ever role.
Always love when the end is the beginning or goes back to.beginning. the movie is the movie we just seen so now he's about to watch the movie we just watched lol. So funny lol
So glad to see this. My 3 favorite carpenters. They live, the thing, and this movie.
6:20 This dad joke was brought to you by "You" and the "Movies".
Great performances by Sam Neill and Jurgen Prochnow. Love this one.
very happy you completely loved most of this trilogy. keep checking out the good stuff and ill keep watching!!
This is definitely the one of the best Lovecraftian films out there, it's real a shame that Del Toro was never able to get At The Mountains of Madness off the ground.
The endings of both The Thing and Prince of Darkness are never actually fully resolved and are both left with a possible impending apocalypse, which is why they are all entries in the Apocalypse Trilogy
this movie is, arguably, the best Lovecraftian (meaning in Lovecraft's style/inspiration) film, with "The Thing" being the other one people say is the best Lovecraftian film.
The best Lovecraft film (based on the author's work) is "Color Out of Space", by far. I highly recommend watching it here, on this show. If it hasn't been considered yet, I want to pledge the amount required to make it happen.
Love your channel, thanks to you two. Love your cute little family.
I second Color Out of Space, it's such a wild ride and it's too bad that it came out *right* as COVID took off which undercut the response and might have killed off the potential franchise
This movie messed me up when I saw when it first came out and I totally understood it which scared me all the more(When what a writer writes become a new reality for the whole world)
The Thing is my favorite simply because it's so iconic and well done, but this is my close second, both in this trilogy and of all of Carpenter's films in general. I love how meta-self-referential it is and the core concept of books that drive you insane from reading them.
It's his best movie
To think that your observable reality is nothing more significant than a character in a book is horrifying. You are in control of your destiny, you have no freedom and your choices are an illusion at best.
Fantastic film
"Where'd he get an axe?"
Me: I think the more immediate question is, where is he *going* with it?
The real question is Where's the axe gonna end up? 😈
I will be 55 years old this year, the first movie I remember seeing that scared the hell out of me was Halloween when I was about 12 or so. I’ve seen just about every John Carpenter movie theatrically . To say I’m a fan would be understating things. That being said, I have never understood the love for this movie. I really like parts of it. That’s about it. I’ve seen it at least a dozen times always hoping I will love it and it hasn’t happened yet.
They got a contortionist to play Styles doing the strange rotation towards the end. And did you know that the boy giving directions to Sam Neil is the same actor who played Anakin Skywalker in Attack Of The Clones/Revenge of The Sith?
So glad you guys watched this one. Has all the great twilight zone feels packed in.
33:58 "I'm not rational" argument made me chuckle.
A way to tell if a Sam Neill film is going to be wild is how fast he goes crazy. Event Horizon was one such title. This is the king of his craziness.

I love this movie. I didn't expect you guys would cover this....BUT OF COURSE!!!
I do like in the mouth of madness, it has some fun ideas in it, but the thing is still my favorite of them. It just leaves such a mark on you after watching it.
Loved the reaction! Keep up the great work!
Love how this movie turns the cliche of "It was all a dream" on it's ear! It is a great take on that idea. Something I haven't seen in Horror for a long time. Also Sam Neill is superb in his
descent into madness acting. Something he also did great in Event Horizon (whether people like that movie or not)...
"The Thing" is the most entertaining and favorite of the three, but this one is the scariest. I saw it 2AM and then had to walk a friend home and it was completely dead. I'm sure I was high too, so the walk after watching this was extra scary.
Only one world: classic!... "Do you want some, too, buddy?"
I think the crosses were a calculated move rather than a spiritual one. They weren't meant to keep him safe by themselves, they were meant to keep him safe by making him look crazy and ensuring he'd still be in there when all the killing happened and not outside in the middle of it all.
This is my secret favorite John Carpenter movie, just barely edging out The Thing and Big Trouble. This movie, though, just captured my imagination like nothing else ever had when I was a kid.
hey, jack and rose, how are yall? i actually bought a Coldest Water sports bottle and love it . definitely worth the money. i bought some of yall's merch and one thing i got was the toon sticker of yall and i'm gonna put it on my water bottle. i got the idea from your wife who has one of the stickers on her bottle so i thought it was only fitting because without yall, i wouldn't have known about it.i love your reactions and watch the live streams. keep up the awesome job.
Glad you’re enjoying the water bottle and merch. The Coldest Water bottles are pretty great?
One of the best movies about eldritch horrors
I just finished watching this movie and I really liked it. I didn't know this film is where the meme came from at the end of Trent laughing in the cinema with the popcorn. I rocked out at the intro as well!
31:45 Feel at this point I should plug the book "City" by Clifford D. Simak, a collection of campfire stories dogs tell about their human predecessors. The writing style is a little dry, but the ideas are big.
This movie is so unsettling... you can feel every hair on your body stand up just from the atmosphere...
My ranking:
3) Prince of Darkness
2) In The Mouth of Madness
1) The Thing
I really enjoy all of these movies and I definitely loved "In The Mouth of Madness", especially for its ambiguity and meta-nature! "The Thing" is just one of my all-time favorite movies! I really love how they married sci-fi with religion in "Prince of Darkness", but it's ranked at the bottom because it does kinda drag at times.
At that point in the 90s, horror literature was big business with King, Anne Rice, Clive Barker and many others.
I saw this in the movie theater when I was a sophomore at Marine Military Academy down in Harlingen, TX. I was 15 years old and this movie creeped the FUCK out of me.
That's actually a brilliant inference that the church "having once been the seat of an evil older than mankind" suggests that the vial from "Prince of Darkness" had once been housed there.
I still have my childhood VHS copy of this. It's too good. It wasn't till high school, I found out the name comes from H.P. Lovecrafts book In The Mountain Of Madness, which is actually closer to The Thing.
I love this movie. I had no real expectations going into it since it was made during Carpenter’s period of sharp decline, but it’s great. Honestly one of my favorite Carpenter films.
Fun fact: The paperboy at the crossroads is played by Hayden Christensen... aka Anakin Skywalker from the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy.
This is a very clever,good movie..well worth reacting too,,well worth watching...I watched it myself several times...John Carpenter was an absolute genious..not just making really good horror movies,but also making high class movie music...when he is around,you are going to get entertained...very well entertained...and thats a promise.. I will also claim that noone made,makes,better movie music then him..him and Ennio Morricone...its theme music that transcends the movies even and gets remembered outside and regardless,of the movies themselves....
