We lost an icon earlier this month, but legends live forever through film. Sam Neill will always be best known as Dr. Alan Grant in the JURASSIC PARK series and as Damien in THE OMEN III, but heβs left behind an incredible variety of films that some people might have missed.
If itβs still been on your bucket list to see Neill's performance as Trent in John Carpenterβs shockingly underrated mid-90s classic IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, then we hope you donβt have Comic-Con plans on Saturday, July 25th because weβre bringing the party down to North Park for a special screening of the film at Verbatim Books, which will serve as both a celebration of life of one of the most consistent screen actors of the last 50 years, and also as a book, within a bookβ¦within a book, meta film experience that youβll never forget π
In MADNESS, Mr. Neill stars as John Trent, an insurance investigator who is tasked with looking into a series of horror books written by a mysterious author named Sutter Cane. They seem to be havingβ¦a certain kind of effect on peopleβ¦and as Trent goes deeper down the rabbit hole, he realizes that he might not be able to pull himself out.
Itβs free and open to all. Weβll have chairs and youβre welcome to bring your own blankets, pillows, snacks etc, to make yourself comfortable. Suggested donation is $5 to help cover licensing, but definitely don't let that keep you from joining us!
On July 25th, this is not the ending. You haven't read it yet.
