19. ‘In the Mouth of Madness’ (1994)

John Carpenter’s films practically defined the ’80s. Sadly, his ’90s work didn’t measure up to that standard, but we have to at least respect the effort that went into this flawed but worthwhile horror film. Few directors have even attempted to bring the work of H.P. Lovecraft to life on the big screen, so it is a minor success he sort of pulled off that aspect.
