Sam Neill was the Antichrist… in Omen III: The Final Conflict.
That was the first thing I ever saw him in. Apart from his good looks and charm, one of the best things about him as an actor is he always had this certain dangerousness about him even when he was playing the hero, like there was a sort of controlled chaos always running in the background.
Loved In The Mouth of Madness and Memoirs of an Invisible Man. Sam was terrific in both. Naturally also loved Jurassic Park all my life. Rest in peace.
I watched in the mouth of madness when I was 15 and home alone, it was soo good that I freaked out and ran to the neighbours at midnight. Still haven't watched it since and still rate it highly!
The fun part is, the hell scenes were actually mostly cut out. There was originally going to be more of them shown and for much longer. But they found that to be a little too much during screenings and cut them back.

Going to add to this with Event Horizon and Until the End of the World as movies I thought he was great in. It's a long list, and he'll be missed. rip

One of my favorite horror movies. Love his performance in it especially.

Kinda wild im in the middle of listening to his autobiography. He was a good person and surprisingly socially aware.

I just finished listening to it two weeks ago and it was so good I was gonna follow his social media. Too late… :_(

Clearly Carpenter had more fun working with Neill than he did with Chevy Chase
smegheadenergy
I don’t think Chevy Chase has fun working with Chevy Chase

NGL I thought John Carpenter had died years ago.

Nah, just fed up with Hollywood. He's been rocking out and making music with his son.

Excellent!

Loved that his Irish accent slipped through during this scene
shameofslate
I loved how he leaned hard into the Irish accent on Peaky Blinders

In the Mouth of Madness was a barnburner. Fight me.

I don't know if that means really good or really bad so I will believe both without question.
OmenJones
Really good.

It was so good, I wore out my vhs tape making people watch it at my house :)

I still have PTSD from Event Horizon
MostAwesomeDan
That's ironic, because Event Horizon is kind of about PTSD

Now imagine if they released the version they wanted to. Still one of my favorite movies, though.

Just remember you won't be needing your eyes.

Arrrrhghh that is the part that freaked me out the most and the barbed wire

Watched it last night on Tubi. (No subscription needed.) It's a great movie.

I’ve seen it twice. It’s good but disturbing
MaverickTitan
Then it’s doing its job right.
