Love IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS.<br /><br />I've always found something about those beginning scenes, in the asylum, to be so *bizarre*. I can't quite put a finger on what it is, but it's brilliant . . . from those early scenes, there's a feeling of "wrongness". As if the world is already "gone", and the asylum is all that's left. I'm not sure how to describe it better than that. I get the same feeling from many scenes in the phenomenal EXORCIST III: LEGION.<br /><br /><br />J.N.<br />http://www.james-newman.com:https://www.blogger.com/profile/10504825689909245851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132620721136610844.post-49514492123658444762013-01-24T13:36:32.942-06:002013-01-24T13:36:32.942-06:00Nice to see In the Mouth of Madness get some love....Nice to see In the Mouth of Madness get some love.

Weird and interesting sure, but not nearly as hard hitting as 'The Thing' or 'Prince Of Darkness'.
