If you watch some of the behind the scenes features, you’ll see why they only showed the monsters in quick flashes and shadows. Because when you see them in better lighting for more than a few seconds, they look more silly than scary. Better to show just enough to let your imagination run wild with how horrific they must be.
Loved this movie. It actually made me feel uncomfortable. I'll never forget the old lady that worked the counter and was kicking the shit out of that old man on the floor. Eerie!!
Happy Gilmores grandma turned bad
Hahahaha!! I love that open! Thanks guys for letting me be a part of this!
Glad to have you on our side Durban. This was a blast.
That's Hayden Christensen as the paper boy
David Rice?!

So good!... severely underrated carpenter ... great lovecraft tribute ... your reviews are great man!.. each week I look forward to what's next!💯🙌🏽✊🏽
Such a great review of an amazing and underrated horror film. I remember seeing this two times in the theater when I was 14. It is just that damn good.
The Stephen King connection is even stronger now, since the covered bridge leading into Hobb's End now also appears in the big-screen adaptation of King's It. This film really is kind of a hidden gem. I do think, though, that it might've been the better choice to show the monsters only in little glimpses; you can't really convey the Lovecraftian idea of a monster that makes you insane if you see it in reality. We can imagine that the creatures are really bugshit insane-looking more easily if we just see glimpses.
Great review! Cody, if you haven't already seen these movies, I highly recommend
Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs
Wes Craven's The Serpeant and the Rainbow
John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness
George A. Romero's The Dark Half (Stephen King adaptation), which was similar to Secret Window (2004)
David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone (1983) (Stephen King adaptation)
Jacob's Ladder (1990) - Tim Robbin's 2nd best movie behind Shawshank Redemption
Desperation (2006) (Stephen King adaptation)
Needful Things (1993) (Stephen King adaptation)
The Langoliers (1995) (Stephen King adaptation)
They're all amazing and criminally underrated movies.
Cody. I totally agree. Such a kick ass movie. One of my favorites.
Great thorough review! This is also one of my top 5 favorite Carpenter films. Very underrated, but it does seem to have gained more of a wider appreciation the past few years, with videos like yours representing that.
Great review Cody! I watched it last night and LOVED IT! Thanks for the nightmares! And for helping me find my third favorite Carpenter film!
Hell yes!
It not really a nod to Stephen King, but to H.P. Lovecraft. Although King is heavily Lovecraft influenced as well ;). Many names are pulled out of Lovecraft novels like Pickman. Or the Books of Sutter Cane "The Whisperer in the Dark" = "The Whisperer in the Darkness" and so on every one of those books is a Lovecraft reference. Anyways like your review, pretty good quality and all.
I get Stephen King influences with the small New England town and the character of Cane.
I watched this movie just last night. I enjoyed it alright. It really seems like this is a movie that will improve upon rewatches. So I just don’t know if I should buy it or not.
Great analysis Cody, and that intro was perfect!! It's nice to see someone love this movie as much as I do. Between the frequency of me watching my copy and also how often I've loaned it around to get my horror friends indoctrinated, I've literally worn my copy out. It's such a great movie. All of the Lovecraft Easter eggs in it are wonderful.
This was one crazy messed up movie! Loved it❤️
Love this movie one of my favorites so glad you guys are finally reviewing it 😀
I really enjoy your reviews! I agree with you I wish you could see the creatures longer! This movie has special place in my heart the town name is my last name!
Watched this because of the review, and it's really good! There's a lot to sink your teeth into when it comes to its stoey and themes. The look of the film and the atmosphere are top-notch, and going through John Carpenters films has been a treat. Great review!
I got 5 minutes into this review and had to stop it to go watch the movie lol I haven't seen it yet
Smart choice
I was going to buy this a few weeks ago. I’ll pick it up this week
The opening credits with the kick-ass metal music and the printing press gets me pumped too. Pretty much everything thing about this movie is great. From the old man on the bike. To the female contortionist to the old woman with the axe. It's a great ride. Yes. I've always wanted to see more of the ancient ones. But unfortunatelyI it came down to time and money as the reason why that scene was cut short. It still doesn't ruin the movie though because it only leaves you wanting more
I agree
Love this movie, it's about time he got some love
I've never seen or heard of this movie before today. I ordered it on Amazon after your review. Great vid!
Hell yes!!! Enjoy.
I really don´t get why in every review people think that the monsters should have been shown more.
On every Lovecraft story the monsters are seen like for a second or don´t even get a description, to show you the impact that just his presence has on the protagonist. They don´t need to do anything to drive you mad or destroy the natural order as you know it, just be there for you to see them for half a second. Lovecraftian beings are not about being flashy or showing themselves, they are about the impact they have for only existing and have little interactions with our world.
I get that is a common thing when you talk about monster movies/stories, that you want to know how they look an their powers and everything, but man is a lovecraftian like movie, you can´t expect the same things that you see in a movie like "The Thing" where the monster can only do physical harm.
Also some people say that some things are too little expkained or shown and they don´t get it is done on purppose, because when you get to know well a thing, it needs to be aplied logic to it so you understand it as a viewer and atomatically loses the "fear of the unknow" that Lovecraft is remembered for.
Loved the review btw
PS: sorry if im hard to read, english is not my primary lenguage and don´t get to use it a lot where i live
This Carpenter Trilogy (The Thing, Prince Of Darkness & In The Mouth Of Madness) probably is the best trilogy (and horror trilogy) of all time. It definitely contains three of my four favorite Carpenter films.
OHMIGOSH I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!
The only… _only…_ downside to this movie is that there are no *Sutter Cane* novels in real life! I mean, they missed out on potentially a _massive_ cash-cow by not releasing an official novelisation of the movie, with the author listed as *Sutter Cane!*
Mister Cody, I believe I have cracked the case on why they only showed the wide shot of the monsters at the end for only one second. it would literally look like Farscape and the Muppet Show if they held for too long on those little critters
fantastic work Cody...Carpenter is coming in october to Holland to play his best tunes...gonna have to convince somebody not to go alone lol
Awesome movie and awesome review. The most experimental movie of Carpenter and one of the best Lovecraft's unofficial adaptation. Tmhy, Hobb's end could refer as well to some cities invented by Lovecraft, Arkham,or Insmouth, from which King took inspiration to create his Castle Rock and Derry places. I remember an interview of Carpenter on a French movie newspapers speaking of his intent to pay tribute to Lovecraft, which he was stating is less famous in USA than the great Stephen King.
I remember seeing bits of this while I was a kid in Puerto Rico lol I remember the crosses I had no idea that was Sam Neil
Sam Neil is awesome actor. Jurassic Park, this movie, Merlin Miniseries are all great roles he does.
He also had a really good screen test for James bond i think it was for the living daylights
I was thinking this intro is going to be cheesy, but when that music cut off and you said do you read Sutter Cane, I got chills… and then that music kicked in... and I thought you should just use this music from now on!!!
Haha I loved how that intro turned out
just watched this movie for the first time in about 10 years ! it's definitely a badass movie
just finished this for the first time, was thrilled to find you've covered it. what an absolutely underrated gem; it really does cram in way more than should be allowed, just with the King and Lovecraft references, let alone all the themes. great breakdown as always and im glad to see some other passionate appreciation for this movie
@ Cody you have a nice little list here, and kudos to you +5 cool points even :) for reviewing this unknown gem and Prince of Darkness.... But you SERIOUSLY need to review Escape from NY the THING remake and Big Trouble in Little China for your john Carpenter series to be complete..... as Halloween aside Escape from NY is his second best film to many of us fans, and Big Trouble in Little China one of his most beloved. An EVEN with Halloween to many the THING remake is his best film JC ever did.... I hope to see you add those 3 over this an next year Cody to complete this series. :) An ty for the time, spotlight for this gem.
New to the channel, basically discovered WeWatchedAMovie, DrumDums and yourself all within the past month ( I know, living under a rock right?). Definitely enjoy your takes on these films and have been going back through your channel history.
And on the topic of this movie: it has suffered a tremendously unfair passing over and I have NEVER understood that. I first caught this movie when I was a kid , right after it hit VHS and was infatuated with it from the time I first saw the trailer on TV. One of my all-time favorites, along with Prince of Darkness ( i know that one didn't fair as well with ya, but maybe it'll grow on you lol)
Keep up the great work my friend!
The ending reminds me of what they did with the pastor from salems lot in the one dark tower book
I saw this years ago but my memory is so crap, I forget a lot about it. I deffo have to give it another watch. Great review Cody.
Thank you!
Almost HP Lovecraft influences? This is based on Lovecraft.
This has always been a great childhood classic for me, great review
Couldn’t agree more Cody. Underrated classic. Carpenter really creates a weird creepy one of a kind movie. So much better than all these carbon copy “horror” films chock full of too fake to be scary CGI we’ve been getting lately. I really wish Carpenter would come back and make something this good again
I need to revisit this film, thanks for the review
You and Drumdums released this today at the same time! Did you know this or was it planned?
Planned
or...was it ? Muahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa
Great choice for a review. Love this movie it doesn't get enough love.
People think Stephen King is an influence on this, they are incorrect, it's influence is H.P. Lovecraft and the movie takes playful jabs at King who uses Lovecraftian tropes. One of the greatest Lovecraft inspired movies.
The innkeeper lady being Mrs Pickman confirms this.
critivcs hated it because they didnt get it.. I didnt understand the ending at first.. poor Sam neil
Michael Deluca wrote this film. ... He also wrote Freddy’s Dead... ....
music from the trailer is the same as jason goes to hell trailer hahaha
This is a very underrated movie, one of Carpenter's best in my opinion. It's too bad that there isn't as much special features that I would've liked for there to be on the recent Shout Factory edition that just came out. However, there are some cool behind the scenes stuff with seeing more of the monsters and a new commentary with Carpenter.
Awesome review. I love this movie. In The Mouth Of Madness Rules!!!.
As a big Carpenter fan who also loves Stephen King, this movie has a special place in my heart. It's one of the movies that I really love but not many people know about.
This is good to watch once, I don’t know about buy. I just watched this from your other video recommendation about carpenter. It’s good and just a lot of movies try this lets go for a ride and go crazy since. It’s a top 8 carpenter too bad he doesn’t make anymore
That old woman riding the bike is very creepy
I thought that was a a man
I forgot john carpenter did this I loved this movie though
Cutter Sane
I have not watched this movie for years but hey it's great, I agree. Sam Neil again amazing (always liked him since The Final conflict). The old woman is the creepiest character (her poor husband).
Don't forget Sam Neill's amazing performance in Possession.
Lol, you’re the best dude! Great vid
Thank you
Did your kids draw on your face? :) This one definitely goes under the radar, but it's one of my favorites by Mr. C.
Nope I drew on my own face lol
Definitely Carpenter's last good movie. Village Of The Dammed had some good moments, but this was his last good one and one of my faves.
About the monsters at the end it was kind of your mixture of your first and second idea. For one these creatures are clear lovecraftian monsters and to just stop and look at them will break sanity instantly. Also with so many monsters and people using animatronics and puppets had to be with the creatures to see them moving. If you freeze the image you'll likely see the effects guys pushing the wall of monsters
I was waiting for you to bring up the bicycle scene. To me I don't know why that has always been the scene that sticks with me despite all the crazy shot that happens in this movie. That is what gave me nightmares
This popped up in RUclips movies and I loved it. Great horror movie,might be better than Halloween but I need to rewatch them both 9.5/10. Thanks Cody!
Still not seen it. However, I love how Sam Neil just says yes to all these films and nails it every time
Easily one of my top 10 movies of all time 🎥
The last great Carpenter film
no Vampires was Village of the Damned was good too
I love this film, the real church is actually a bit creepy too, or it was at the time when they shot the movie - standing surrounded by empty fields and rows of lamps leading to it. It's just eerie.
When I first watched this. I immediately rewound the beginning to here that theme again. It's so fuckin awesome! Always loved this film! Hard to get a non region coded copy in the UK. (But it's on RUclips, or was).
When ever you get around to scream 2 I'm sure I'll enjoy it
I just watched this film. Pretty good. I loved it! ❤ your show.
Yes!!! This is one of the BEST if not THE BEST horror films of all time!!! I’ve seen it so many times!! I will never forget the first time I saw it, I think I was 13. I have been a horror fanatic my entire life, so I don’t get scared. I was terrified!! The music, the story, the monsters, the concept.. perfection. I remember sneaking in to my parents room just to see them sleeping to feel somewhat safe. I own this movie and I’ve made everyone watch it lol. Every single time I see a bike rider at night I say, “In the Mouth of Madness.” Out loud. That bike rider is creepy as shit!! I love everything about this film. The church is so dark, the story is brilliant! I’m so happy someone else sees the masterpiece in this film as I do!!!
Sorry about the balls!!! Hahaha
Surreal fucked up classic Carpenter, great review Cody once again a brilliant summary of this very underrated horror.
Good film
Watch it if you havnt seen it.
Check out Possession (1981).
Very underrated movie
It looks awesome once I get some money I have to buy this
The years of 1994 and 1986 in my list of years in horror cinema were held with Wes Craven's new nightmare and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 in their place. They are both very great movies but admittedly they were weaker entries for the list (not based on the movies themselves, just the credibility I have for them in these places). That wasn't until this and The Hitcher came in, the former I saw a few months ago, the latter I say a few days ago. This is fun to compare because of what they had in common on my list. They both filled in with much worthier entries and they both managed to become my favorite films of specific Horror-Hybrid genres (In the Mouth of Madness being Horror Fantasy, The Hitcher being Horror Crime)
I skipped my exams to go watch this at the cinema in 1995. A genius movie.
The more I watch In the Mouth of Madness, the more I love it. It's really a toss up between this and The Thing as far as my favorite Carpenter movie.
I agree that this was the last great (feature) film, however I thoroughly enjoyed his instalment in the masters of horror series-Cigarette Burns.
I can't help it he wrote me this way!! Great Movie ❤
Hey cody with all thise doodles over your face you look like a modern day rapper ....lil cody??
Just watched the movie. Liked it, good story, atmosphere, characters, actually eerie at times, the creature design, however was let down by the ending, it was abrupt and i expected some explanation, other than that, good movie , 8/10 like it better than Prince Of Darkness
Next review slender man
Great movie, seen it for the first time😃🎃
Yeah, I’d agree it’s his last great movie. But you should give Village of the Damned another chance, there are a lot of good elements in it (Reeves performance, the atmosphere, questions on the nature of sibling relationships).
I haven’t seen the movie but I look forward to it
Awesome John Carpenter film...😁 but written by the man who wrote FREDDY'S DEATH: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE, Michael De Luca.
In the Mouth of Madness and Vampires are honestly Carpenter’s last great films. However I can enjoy his two Masters of Horror episodes Cigarette Burns, Pro Life, and The Ward but I wouldn’t consider them classics just damn good films.
In the Mouth of Madness seems to be an inspiration for the Doctor Strange sequel
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
U haven't seen the omen it's my favourite horror film ever
Damn so I just watched in the mouth of madness for the first time an it is probably my second favorite John carpenter film if I had not grown up with Halloween an been such a huge fan of the whole franchise it would be my favorite. Can't believe it just dethroned the thing for my second favorite but it is just such a crazy film with so many twist an turns an an amazing story great movie. After I watch the thing again it will be my second favorite again. Maybe plan on watching in the mouth of madness a couple more times to really be sure but as of now I love it start to finish incredible.
In my top 5 along with The event horizon
I saw this movie on a lot of grams of mushrooms . Try that out.. It will fuck your brain up. =)
It really was johns last great MOVIE. Very underated .
Review I am Legend
What's up with your face man my man cody
Personally, this movie did nothing for me and was very forgettable, but I'm glad you enjoyed!
Sam Neill is excellent as John Trent. 😀👍
