Movie Review: "In the Mouth of Madness" Directed by John Carpenter

"In the Mouth of Madness" Directed by John Carpenter

I watched the 1994 film, "In the Mouth of Madness" last night,

it was pretty good.... however if tweaked a bit it could have been awesome. Overall it wasn't a waste of time, but the plot could of had a couple revamps.

HOWEVER-

Visually, it was really interesting, and they did a lot with color that you don't see in feature films very often.

Also they experimented with digital video effects that weren't being used very much at the time and still in their basic stages.

Otherwise they did alot of prosthetics which made me increasingly happy, because although CGI can take you very far, sometimes there just isn't a replacement for what can be made by hand and truly exist in front of the camera.

For example the special effects eye detail for the authors crazed agent was amazing, and looked as if his eyes had actually morphed. This is what I love about cinema, and although CGI is great, and improving filmmaking vastly, I hope prosthetics stay around, because this looks great.
