Lovecraft’s ‘indescribable’ horrors. The film is fun in these parts but on a wider thematic level In the Mouth of Madness is dissatisfying."		* Richard Scheib at The Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review (3.5/5 Stars) ([http://moria.co.nz/horror/in-the-mouth-of-madness-1995.htm link]) - "...the moment the heroine reaches up to caress the face of the missing writer and the camera moves behind him to show that it is a tentacular monstrosity that is wearing his body like a marionette... and a sequence where Sam Neill is pursued by a massive horde of monsters from the abyss, which are all the more horrific for only being subliminally glimpsed, the one moment when the film goes some way to capturing the essence of H.P.

==Summary==


Sutter Cane is the best-selling author whose newest novel is literally driving readers insane. When he inexplicably vanishes, his publisher sends special investigator John Trent to track him down.

In the similar short film "[[Masters of Horror (2005 series)|Cigarette Burns]]", a man hunts for a copy of a rare film that is said to have incited its audience to a frenzy before the theater in which it plays burst into flames.

* View Trailer: ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PFcOeM_Usk link])
* Film Website: ([http://www.theofficialjohncarpenter.com/in-the-mouth-of-madness/ link])

==Ratings==
===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: R (Violence and gore, Adult Content, etc.)

===Tentacle Ratings===
A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; could be a very loose adaptation)

The film makes numerous nods towards Weird and pulp horror fiction, such as the titles of Sutter Kane's fictional horror novels, ''In the Mouth of Madness'', ''The Hobb's End Horror'', ''The Thing in the Basement'', ''The Haunter Out of Time''; Sutter Kane himself seems to have been constructed from equal parts [[H.P. Lovecraft]], [[Stephen King]], and [[Clive Barker]].

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''
