Film screening “In the Mouth of Madness”

Around the play À l’ouest d’Arkham, the Escher Theater is screening John Carpenter’s cult film In the Mouth of Madness (1994), freely based on the world of writer H.P. Lovecraft.

Synopsis : Sutter Cane (Jurgen Prochnow) is the best selling author whose newest novel is literally driving readers insane. When he inexplicably vanishes, his publisher (Charlton Heston) sends special investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) to track him down. Drawn to a town that only exists in Cane’s books, Trent crosses the barrier between fact and fiction and enters a terrifying world from which there is no escape.
