Rue Morgue’s CineMacabre Movie Nights return with a special screening of John Carpenter’s IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (Wednesday, November 28, 2018 at 9:30 PM – 11:30 PM @ The Royal Cinema – 608 College Street, Toronto).
IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is a Moebius-strip of a film, a circular narrative of post modern dismantling tools filtered through a fever dream fantasy/parody of Stephen King (with some HP Lovecraft thrown in for good measure).
In this universe his name is Sutter Kane. What in the hands of a lesser filmmaker would be an empty exercise in lit crit, is one of a John Carpenter’s best films. A genuinely terrifying, reality-melting ride through a shape shifting house of horrors, a brain bending horror anthology put in a blender. About the only point of comparison I can think of is CABIN IN THE WOODS, but that movie’s got nothing on this one.
As the movie progresses the horror tropes snowball, Kane becomes a God, and Trent’s (Sam Neill) mind disintegrates along with reality around, until the film completely unravels in the glorious finale, curving back in on itself.” (Will Greiner)
Rue Morgue’s CineMacabre Movie Nights promise the best of classic and contemporary horror at The Royal Cinema – once a month, every month.
