Every time I watch a John Carpenter movie I always find myself saying “Hell yeah, brother” at the end and In the Mouth of Madness was no different. A metacritical eldritch horror film with insane creature designs, bookended by some sick rock riffs? Sounds amazing let me grab a six pack and let’s do it
Got to see this in IMAX and see Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Finn Wolfhard all in one room for intro and Q&A - best screening surprise I’ve had yet.
A wholly and wildly unique story with so much heart and comion I’d be hard pressed to believe anyone who said they didn’t resonate with the themes of family, self-love, and acceptance. Beautifully crafted the whole way around, and Ke Huy Quan nails his return to acting.
Great, simple teen slasher with enough going for it to make it stand out. Feels like a movie a pre-teen would see at a sleepover and be just scary enough to get them into the genre.
It’s most interesting story hooks were severely under-developed, but I hope we see more of Friend-o
