A smarter monster flick that generates some tension and has a ballsy ending that most Hollywood movies would never go for. |

A stellar thriller that combines suspense with actual social and political themes of fear-mongering and paranoia. The special effects work best when the creatures aren't fully seen. The movie doesn't compromise its gritty story, to its credit. |

"The Mist" by Yojimbo |
|
A strange mist descends over a small town and a motley band of its inhabitants seek refuge in the local supermarket. Based on a *sigh* Stephen King novella (is it that time of year again?) The Mist was written for the screen and directed by Frank "The Shawshank Redemption" Darabont, and his skillful eye and feel for narrative pacing means that The Mist has a sense of quality missing from many King adaptations. Some of the sequences have just the right amount of tension and some of the encounters with the creatures are genuinely creepy and suspenseful in a way that reminded me of John Carpenter in his hay day. But once again, the Achilles hell is Stephen bloody King himself. The story is shit. The talents of the director and a decent if slightly uninspired set of performances are the only ... |

The Mist review |
|
David Drayton (Thomas Jane) witness a thunderstorm storm from a window of his house. David and his neighbor, Brent Norton (Andre Braugher), with his son Billy (Nathan Gamble) go to the local grocery to get supplies. Dan Miller (Jeffrey DeMunn) goes to the store and warns the people about "the mist." A bag-boy Norm (Chris Owen) becomes the first victim and soon would follow. Wayne explaines: "other worlds all around us, and how they wanted to try to make a window, you know, so they can look through and see what's on the other side." In the end, David fulfills his promise to his son Billy.
Wonderfully written screenplay by the director with lines like "Denial is a powerful thing." "As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dr... |

Good Film, but Lacks Scare Factor |
|
The Mist was an interesting horror film, but lacked some elements that a good horror movie has.
The story was wonderfully thought out, as most Stephen King movies are. The way the story progressed through the movie made me anxious and uncomfortable at the same time, which was great. However, there was no overly thrilling parts of the movie. I didn't really jump during the movie, which is what makes horror movies exciting to me.
The characters interacted very realistically, given the situation that they were thrown into. The drama given in the movie could be seen in almost every horror movie, especially a zombie movie, but I still enjoyed every minute of it. I felt that I was mixed in the drama, watching from another person's perspective as everything happened.
Overall, The Mist w... |
