Reviews

Los Angeles Times -
In the Mouth of Madness is a thinking person's horror picture that dares to be as cerebral as it is visceral.
|
|
Austin Chronicle -
All in all, In the Mouth of Madness is a fun, clever horror picture, full of creepy crawlies, things that go bump in the night, and references to everyone from H.P. Lovecraft to Dario Argento.

|
The New York Times -
In the Mouth of Madness has enough menace and novelty to please fans of Mr. Carpenter's horror films (among them The Fog, Christine and Halloween) without the wider interest of an enchanting parable like Starman, which he also directed. Still, this is a film with the temerity to think big, if only for the magnitude of the wickedness it invokes.

Time Out London -
The script by New Line's head of production, Michael de Luca, does not allow Carpenter free range, nevertheless he manages some neat flourishes of his own, handling the narrative twists and unsettling sfx sequences with customary skill.

Chicago Sun-Times -
One wonders how In the Mouth of Madness might have turned out if the script had contained even a little more wit and ambition.
