Story Synopsis:
Neill plays a book publisher hired to find Sutter Cane (Prochnow) the author of a novel that is driving readers insane. Drawn to a town that only exists in Cane’s book, he crosses the barrier between fact and fiction, into a terrifuing world of no escape.In The Mouth Of Madness is John Carpenter’s tribute to the classic stories of H.P. Lovecraft. This is a nightmarish tale about an investigator (Sam Neill), hired by a book publisher to track down best-selling author, Sutter Cane (Jurgen Prochnow), whose newest novel is literally driving its readers insane. Drawn to a town that only exists in Cane’s book, the investigator crosses the barrier between fact and fiction and enters a horrifying world from whence there is no escape.
LaserDisc Picture:
The perfectly framed 2.35:1 Panavision® picture is the same sharp and detailed transfer reviewed in Issue 15. With deep blacks and natural fleshtones, only a slight veil of grain and noise mar the images.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The DTS® Digital Surround soundtrack has overall smoothness with slightly better defined low level ambiance. Otherwise, compared to the Dolby® Digital discrete version, the soundtracks are identical with aggressive surrounds and deep bass.
