Madness.
New Line Cinema's new psy-
hological horror fiim, In The Mouth
if Madness, starring Sam Neill,
urgen Prochnow and directed by
ohn Carpenter, will open in theatres
iverywhere on Friday, February 3,
995. .
Imagine a novel so overwhelm-
ngly hypnotic, so tremendously hor-
ifying that it paralyzes its audience
vith fear and turns its most sensible
eaders insane. Sutter Cane (Jurgen
’rochnow) is this century's most
widely read author. His novels have
seen translated into 18 different lan­
guages and spawned a billion dollar
industry. When Cane vanishes just
Jays before he’s expected to deliver
his latest manuscript, his publisher
Jackson Harglow (Charlton Heston)
hires John Trent (Sam Neill) to inves­
tigate his mysterious disappearance.
With the writer’s fans whipped
into a pubic frenzy, Trent believes
the case is nothing but an ill con­
ceived publicity stunt - until he and
Cane’s editor, Linda Styles (Julie
Carmen), travel to New England in
search o f clues. There, they wind up
in a town called Hobbs End, a sleepy
hamlet that cannot be found on any
ordinary map - a fictional village that
exits only in Game’s novel.
Has the investigation unearthed
a fantasy world or has reality blended
with the macabre imagination of
Sutter Cane?
Directed by John Carpenter, In
John Trent (Sam Neill) is driven mad by the mysterious writings of
horror novelist Sutter Cane in John Carpenter's psychological-
horror film In the Mouth of Madness.
