Slant’s 100 Greatest Horror Films – 2018 Edition (100 movies items)

"John Carpenter’s 1995 sleeper is a lot of things: a noir, a Stephen King satire, a meta-meta-horror workout, a parody of its own mechanics. Carpenter can’t quite stick the landing(s), but watching his film twist and turn and disappear inside of itself as it twists its detective thriller beats into a full-on descent into the stygian abyss proves consistently compelling.

"Carpenter full on takes on a Lovecraftian tone after toying with it in The Thing and Prince of Darkness. The results are hauntingly disturbing. "

2017 Horror Journal (47 movies items)

" I have to applaud Carpenter for his vision and being gutsy enough to even try and get a project like this off the ground, but much like his "Prince Of Darkness", this tale is a little too much all at once and asks the viewer to suspend their disbelief more than most will be able to.

"Viimeisimpiä essential-Carpentereja. Lovecraft on jatkuvasti läsnä ja sen huomaa. Menee näistä klassisista Carpentereista siksi viimeiseksi linnakkeeksi, mutta ansainnee paikkansa. Sam Neilin sekoilua on oikein viihdyttävää seurata."

"25.1. Eldritch Horrorin pelisessiot venyivät taas vaihteeksi, milloin illan sai päättää In the Mouth of Madness. Tämä elokuva muistuttaa, että lovecraftmaisia kauhuelokuvia on vain liian vähän. "
