"In the Mouth of Madness" was one of the scariest movies I've seen, IMHO. It's a film by John Carpenter about an insurance investigator sent to find a popular horror writer that has disappeared. This is a good rental to get in the Halloween spirit. Yahoo users give it an AVERAGE rating of 4.6/5, a remarkable score.

If you haven't seen it, I would recommend doing so without looking up any additional information on it, but here's a link if you do want additional info: Yahoo! Movies: In the Mouth of Madness

I rented "In The Mouth Of Madness" tonight based on Moviebuff's recommendation. Now I know why I had never heard of it before ... it was perhaps the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. My chick fell asleep, and I almost did. Horrible, horrible movie. What a waste of a dollar.

As with all movies, YMMV. Sorry you didn't like it, but as can be shown by the link above, a majority of Yahoo users, many friends, and myself disagree with you. My movie opinions generally are similar to average users in Yahoo! Movie ratings.
