Mr. Benedict: There is one thing I have always maintained. If a man's shoe is dirty, you got to wonder about his sole.
- Alternate versionsThe New Line Home Video VHS and Laserdisc contain the R-Rated version which had a few seconds of violence/gore missing. Some PAL releases, such as the German DVD from Kinowelt, contained the footage missing from the NTSC releases, likely due to MPAA censorship.
Featured review
So far In the Mouth of Madness is the only film in the Lovecraft tradition worthy of his name
I was at first, very excited about this film due, to the fact that I am a huge fan of H. P. Lovecraft. But after seeing what amounted to a pathetic version of Creepshow, I was very let down. Don't get me wrong, some of the content was worthy enough to be associated with HP, but much of the film was cheesy and not very engrossing. If you wish to see a Lovecraftian style film, check out In the Mouth of Madness. It is INSPIRED by HP, but not related directly to one of his stories.
