I'd rank Prince of Darkness as being decent-to-good, but The Thing is really loving amazing. Like, up there with the original Alien. Definitely see it.

I gotta say, though, I feel like the only dude on the internet who wasn't into In the Mouth of Madness. It had a neat premise and its hard to go wrong with Sam Neill/Jurgen Prochnow, but it also just had, like, way too many jump scares to be effective as a horror movie.

I kind of agree. Prince of Darkness is a really cheaply-made movie, but it does a much better job of creating a really oppressive atmosphere than In the Mouth of Madness does. It's easy to see it as dumb and cheesey, but if I watch it alone in the dark it's just creepy as gently caress on some level.

If you're talking about Prince of Darkness, the most disturbing parts to me are those scenes shot on grainy digital video that are supposedly transmissions from the future. That soft, static whisper of a voice that's telling you what's going on coupled with seeing that figure in the church doors...yikes. It's really unsettling.

I worded that poorly but yeah, I was talking about Prince of Darkness. If that movie had things like a budget and actors and maybe some help with the writing it could have been amazing. :v:

If nothing else that part you described and what follows it are a hell of a way to end a movie.
