I will turn to you, before the police drag your body to the awaiting cell, and gently reply, "No, ...read the complete In the Mouth of Madness movie review at Mutant Reviewers From Hell

Bottom line, it's first class comic book entertainment, and a reminder that if he kept his nose to the grindstone instead of degenerating into a lazy hack (see his follow-up, Village of the Damned, or don't), John ...read the complete In the Mouth of Madness movie review at ToxicUniverse.com (Jeremiah Kipp)

Goatdog's Movies (Michael W. Phillips, Jr.)
So, why doesn't it work? Well, it relies a little too much on shock techniques, including rapid shots of prosthetic monsters to establish a nightmare quality that doesn't really take hold.
