35MM Screening! Sam Neill Tribute!

 

John Carpenter's mind-bending "Apocalypse Trilogy" (The Thing and Prince of Darkness) reaches a terrifying conclusion with In the Mouth of Madness, presented in glorious 35mm as we pay tribute to the great Sam Neill. 

 

Fresh off the massive global success of Jurassic Park, Neill delivers one of the most intense performances of his career (named his best by The Guardian in 2025) as cynical insurance investigator John Trent, who is hired to locate the missing bestselling horror author Sutter Cane (Jürgen Prochnow, The Keep), whose books have become a worldwide obsession. Trent's investigation soon leads him to the eerie town of Hobb's End, where the line between fiction and reality begins to dissolve, unleashing monstrous creatures, impossible horrors, and the terrifying realization that Cane's stories aren't predicting the apocalypse, they're creating it.

 

With an incredible cast including David Warner (Waxwork), Bernie Casey (Revenge of the Nerds), John Glover (Scrooged) and the incomparable Charlton Heston, Carpenter's 1994 Lovecraftian dreamscape is a dazzling showcase of effects, existential dread, and razor-sharp satire about the power of mass media hysteria.

“In the Mouth of Madness earns the privilege of reveling in insanity.” 
– Max Kyburz, BROOKLYN MAGAZINE


“The most perfect (and overt) expression of the director's career-long conversation with the weird tales of H. P. Lovecraft.” 
– Nick Pinkerton, ARTFORUM


“This is terror at its most delicious.” 
– Almar Haflidason, BBC.COM


“Chillingly blurs the lines between truth and fantasy, between logic and the malevolently illogical.” 
– Dustin Putman, THE FRIGHT FILE


“A brilliant, wall-rattling performance from Neill, who perfectly drives the human elements of this long under-appreciated film.” 
– Luke Buckmaster, THE GUARDIAN
