"God's not supposed to be a hack horror writer." That's a great line.

[@MarcusSingletaryDMV]

😅 all the "deaths" in the "written" bible (FLOOD etc)

[@Garrus1995]

Out of context, Sam Neill’s scream seems kind of hilarious. But if you watch the whole movie you understand that this man has watched everything he has ever known be cast aside. The world doesn’t abide by the rules he thought they did and he’s trapped in a nightmare in which he has no control.

[@Roflcrabs]

I just wish it had a higher budget. It's clearly a movie made on the cheap fringing on made for TV stuff. Not knocking the premise or performances. Edit: yeah $8,000,000 bringing in $9,000,000 at the box office. Putting in perspective a single episode of Game of Thrones in season 8 was $15mil each.

[@wearebillionyearoldcarbon9563]

Yeah it's fucked up for sure his screaming is still funny though 🤣 I think he really scared the old lady in the back

[@ethanbroussard3619]

Not as ridiculous of a scream as what he did in Event Horizon. At least in this, it actually sounds like a scream

[@rromero7849]

@@wearebillionyearoldcarbon9563 yeah it's still hilarious I laugh everytime I see this scene or even think of it 😆

@@Roflcrabs You can't compare GoT in the mid 2010's to a movie from 1994. A better comparison would've been to The Thing 12 years earlier with almost twice the budget.

[@WaywardRobot]

It's surprising how a simple blue filter can be so utterly terrifying with the proper context. John Carpenter truly understands the meaning of horror.

[@Bonez0r]

That and some great acting by Sam Neill. I love that scream and that look of terror on his face :D

This is seriously probably my favorite scenes in Horror. This is an example of pure personal terror that has been presented using it's medium of cinematography so well, that it can't not unsettle it's viewer, even if it just makes them reconsider reality slightly.

Sam Neil reaction to Jurassic World Dominion 0:50

[@MartianManHunter2258]

Alan.

[@AmbersKnight]

Excellent scene and one that to this day makes me laugh out loud. Not because I think the scene is inherently comedic in nature but Sam Neill throws himself into this so completely when he screams it can't help but be a little funny but it is superbly done.

[@Aspectify]

This was intended as a moment of darkly humorous surreal horror. Not as an instruction for future digital colour correction artists. 0:49 is my reaction to the state of modern cinematography.

[@MRGI0RGI0]

2000's cinematographers and colorists : "is this great color grading?"

best youtube comment ever

[@Roflcrabs]

It actually gives it a contemporary feel, it's something I never really thought about but I kinda like it. Boring story but went to the South Island in New Zealand on a long ass bus ride, it was raining and it just felt like this scene minus the dread and horror, so a pleasant bus ride looking at thousands of sheep.

[@aboundingvampirekiller2048]

0:49 When your friends call "In the Mouth of Madness" a Dark Comedy.

Interestingly, in an interview, Carpenter said that Sam Neill approached the movie as a sort of a twisted comedy.

Charles Tate Nice, an Event Horizon reference.

[@missagente8100]

Charles Tate I knew because of “Jurassic Park III”, when the T-Rex nearly stepped on him when he was in between those logs.

[@YourCreepyUncle.]

His character wasn't scared, he was losing his mind. They spent an entire film slowly driving him insane.

[@SCCmovies]

John Carpenter is awesome. He is a director who wants to make the Horror. Not Horror, THE Horror. I hate how the landscape of Horror films has changed to Blair Witch rip-offs, and not weird old god shit.

[@RobertoReyesChHC]

ma nigga

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

Everything now is about the demons and being possessed. It was cool for a minute, but now everyone is doing it. Got old real quick. They need to go back to the weird psychological horror stuff like in the mouth of madness. Sinister was actually decent since it has a little bit of that psychological realm, but the conjuring, etc, nah, typical.

[@SCCmovies]

Alfred Hernandez Maybe even something grounded in reality, but still psychological. Like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

I always wished Trent had managed to outsmart Sutter Cane and his monster-gods. Not so much to prevent the end of the human race, but just because Cane is such a smug prick.

[@TheBermudaMan]

@@Bonez0r Like I said, I'd only want that kind of ending because Cane's an egotistical fuckhead. The rest of the human race is irrelevant.

[@TheBermudaMan]

@Duckie Alexander ...unless Trent didn't start out as a character in Cane's book until he was "absorbed" into its narrative. It's hinted that's actually what happened more than once in the movie.

[@AngelofMusic04]

If Cane really wanted to scare Trent, he could have appeared dressed as the old woman sitting next to him.

[@Death_Korps_Officer]

He *was* the old lady sitting next to him. And the guy telling him to relax. He was everyone around him and neither of them.

[@MadamFoogie]

@@Death_Korps_Officer I think the guy telling him to relax was the driver! His scream was so intense, it startled a dang Greyhound employee! But I really like how you said that. You're totally right, it's all entirely Sutter Cane.
