Guys, please donate to these guys, if you can, if not support them in any way possible. We need more content like this, there's too much stupidity and baseness spread all over the internet, meanwhile, videos like this? far too less of them. Absolutely great job guys!

    @Uden One-Eye I assumed appreciate love Sam Neill, even before your "profession of love," because he's just about the only thing connecting "Event Horizon" and "Mouth of Madness" at all. Frankly, what makes Mouth of Madness good is exploration of the nature of reality, and this requires A. an interest in Philosophy and B. Intelligence, plain and simple. If a person isn't interested in the issues described in this video, there's little else to recommend it. It did badly at the box office when it came out (and VHS video was only just becoming popular and profitable, and not a serious consideration in movie making). I think Carpenter is underappreciated for all the movies he's done. "They Live!" is my favorite and political in a good way. You can mostly ignore the warnings about mass media and it's effect on society in "The Mouth of Madness", it's more in your face in "They Live!".

    I wouldn't put stock in the idea that the Bohemian Grove is host to *Satanic* sacrifices, (or the idea that particularly many Satanists actually kill anything,) or anything so.... colorful but also cliche. Its an old trope, but not because its ever been particularly true: the Carthaginians, for example, did not, despite the Roman claim to the contrary, commit child sacrifice, any more than the Zoroastrians worshiped fire, despite the Islamic claim to the contrary. Just as Rome's claim was a pretense to attack Carthage, and the claim of the Muslims' was a pretense to outlaw Zoroastrianism, (not that fire worship deserved that, but the Muslims thought so,) the claim that our government is run by Satanists is a means of scapegoating the real evil, the Soulless Ego of Capitalism, by naming one or another disenfranchised minority. The truth is somewhat more banal but more grand in scale: that the elites of our society do, in fact, practice a ritual of human sacrifice, that of the sacrifice of the worker and the consumer by the world of the corporate and the state. The disenfranchised minority, which Satanists most assuredly are, is merely another sacrifice: a scapegoat to bring out when the workers agitate, to turn them against each other and thus mitigate the challenge to the status quo and perpetuate existing power structures. For, after all, most Satanists, most Jews, most People of Color, most women, most homosexuals, and most transpeople *are your fellow workers,* just as is the case of most Christians, most Gentiles, most white people, most men, most straight people, and most cispeople, regardless of whether or not most elites are this faith or that faith or this gender or that gender or whatever have you. If you ally with the latter, ally with the former, and find strength in greater numbers! These divisions are merely tools the elites use to distract us from the class war they wage. Abolish borders, abolish prejudice, abolish tyranny, abolish privilege, abolish class; when you finish, you will find you abolished the illusion and made reality our own.

    I mean it's a really good review I would say but philosophy wise is interesting but not completely factual. Basically when you look at history societies that do not go against reality itself too much tents to flourish and last longer. Societies that go against what's natural tends to crumble apart or get conquered. For example look it at the strongest empires in history at their peak they were very patriarchal, at their weakest they became more feminist. I also think he left out the idea of Expimplicit & Implicit thoughts.

In all honesty, I think _In The Mouth of Madness_ was strictly a Cosmic Horror story, a threat of unknowable and alien nature, completely beyond human agency or comprehension. What the story can drive the audience to think about can be dreadful, that's the inherent appeal of the Lovecraftian genre. Good on you for tapping into it.

Exemplary sound thought made apparent through precise narration and masterful demand over the craft of videography to top it all off. Your work speaks to the betterment and complexity of human thought. Creativity and wonderment. What is quite unsettling however is the timing.

    Wow. This is an amazing video essay. The amount of work that went into is obviously quite substantial. I saw this film when it first came out and did not care for it. Now I can't wait to see it again, with new eyes. My younger self was not impressed with what I thought of as cheesy supernatural gobbledygook. But since then I have come to see stories - all stories - as something much more than they pretend. I also discovered Lovecraft in the intervening years. Despite his sometimes embarrassingly purple prose, melodrama, and run-on sentences (not to mention elements of racism), there is something powerful and unnerving in his work. His similarly titled story "At the Mountains of Madness" still sends a chill up my spine when I think about it. It transported me, stimulating my imagination as few other books have. So I'm definitely going to give this film another shot. Thanks!

    Honestly I enjoyed the film and thought the concept was great but the film itself could have been made better. The woman’s acting sucked and maybe that was on purpose but it didn’t feel like it and was super distracting. Also the way the movie ends with the rock music was dumb and cheesy. It would have been much truer to the film to go into the credits with silence and nothing but the sound of Sam Neill laughing crying and screaming in horror. This would have made audiences in the movie theater more uncomfortable and would have just been better. I feel like Carpenter did good then got lazy.

This is the third video I've watched, and somehow you intuitively touch on humanity as a whole in the microcosms of each film you dissect, which is incredible. It's not even the dissection of the horror films you produce that are the most grisly, but the hauntingly poignant flaws that we as a species are decidedly unaware of that guide us.

    I’m from Mexico and the country’s culture of worship that’s been built around brutal, psychopathic criminals who fight each other and terrorize the general population over control of drug trade routes makes me feel like I truly am in the mouth of madness. There’s hardly any other words that work better to describe it. I read and watch of so called “intellectual revolutions” that have come and past us, of long diatribes about the rights of the individual, or of the sanctity of life, or of the nature of good and evil, and to me it seems it’s all for naught. We’re no more considerate, loving, self sacrificial, compassionate, or understanding than the people one or two thousand years ago. We’re probably worse, even, because we don’t even witness or comprehend the carnage we’re complicitly profiting from.

I bought Meeting the Shadow after watching this, so will rectify that) and loved the Twin Peaks references. Especially as I thought the (much maligned) end of season 3 (or at least, how I perceived it) was a perfect allegory about how you must embrace and control your dark-half, instead of fruitlessly trying to suppress or destroy it.

    This movie and video you just made reminds me of some things i have experienced in altered states of mind. I have visited the metaphorical "gates of hell" and peeked inside with mind-altering substances like LSD (in my nightmares as well). Having your friend turn into a monster in front of you is mentally quite difficult to experience, or seeing a demon pop up inside you vision a hundred times in a second like in some strobe light, but inside your mind. Of course in reality the stuff Lovecraft wrote and similar ideas of inconceivable horror and suffering are not possible but one can visit those places and creatures and experience them in one's mind. It's quite scary. As much as it would suck to be tortured physically or to be in emotional distress (say your child or wife died or something) I can tell you it can be just as bad to experience that kind of mental suffering by imagining things like the things in this movie (and others). I can foresee a future where we can plug in people to something like the matrix and make them experience things that are impossible in real life, and in slower time, probably, and that is one of the scariest possibilities i can think of. Also the part you talk about Jung and the Shadow is kind of scary too because it makes a lot of sense. I loved your video, great job.
