When a young boy believes his nightmares are real, we follow his journey through the terror and the dread that encapsulates him. The audience follows the story from the small child's perspective where everything is larger than life, where he feels small compared to his imposing parents, small rooms become large halls and a small house hides a big secret. A fantastic horror film that can stand tall on its own two legs within this genre. It also displays some inspirations from the horror classics Halloween (1978), The Evil Dead (1981) and The Exorcist (1973).

Outstanding performances from the main cast, with scene stealing work by Antony Starr and Lizzy Caplan. The two parents were exceptionally well performed by their respective actors. Wonderful direction and writing went into this picture. Every line of dialogue feels perfectly scripted and delivered. Every scene feels perfectly choreographed, with magnificent cinematography. The Halloween mood is wonderfully weaved into the film carrying the sense of horror and terror throughout the duration of the film.

This could easily have been a cliché filled, eye-roll movie that gets thrown down the low-budget horror assembly line and pops up every October. The ideas, plot devices and the scares were executed in very thoughtful, deliberate, and intelligent ways.

Recommend this to fans of good horror films, those who are tired of weak sequels and franchises. Especially recommend it to those who enjoy smart and professional film-making in the horror genre.

An insurance investigator is tasked with finding an author of famous horror novels, but the mystery is not easily solved when the novels themselves seem to be infecting the world.

A horror film that borders more on the surreal. The film although a horror explores more the insecurities and distresses of man when faced with uncertainties and mystifying incidents. This film can be rather reality bending and can be placed alongside films from David Lynch.

The film features some great acting especially from Sam Neill, who does some of his best work in this film, a real standout that is memorable. The great Charlton Heston also features in a small role. In the Mouth of Madness features some great practical effects, in the same vein as Carpenter's The Thing, and visuals that effectively demonstrates the surreal and reoccurring situations.

In the Mouth of Madness has a unique plot that starts of quite strong with a mystery that keeps the viewer engaged, it might fall a bit in the middle, but as many Carpenter films do it ends strong.

Recommend this to those who seek to watch a unique horror film or to those who are looking for something a bit Lynchian.

This film features the trials, tribulations and invisible tomfoolery of a reminiscing Chevy Chase, who might be in love and who might be on the run from the government.

Memoirs of An Invisible Man is a comedy that comes of more serious than expected. This is an interesting take on invisibility and how it might affect a person's normal abilities, there is also a small commentary on being alone and figuratively invisible to the world. The comedy does falter on occasions and at some points the viewer might ask where the film is heading.

Chevy Chase and Daryl Hannah play the lead roles and some of the film's best parts are when their characters interact. This is some of Chevy Chase's more serious work and the viewer might miss his deadpan comedy from other films. Sam Neill features in his first of two collaborations with Carpenter and really shows he is a reliably good actor.

The effects done in this film truly is a standout. When it comes to showing an invisible man and in a more comedic light the quirky invisible adventures are the most memorable from the film.

Recommend this film to those who are looking for a non-horror Carpenter film or those of us who just want to relax, put our feet up and not think too much while watching a film.
