The Mist follows a group of townspeople trapped in a grocery store as a mysterious mist blows into town, bringing with it a variety of unfamiliar creatures. The trapped townspeople are played perfectly by a great cast; Thomas Jane is good as the main character, and Marcia Gay Harden is chillingly brilliant as the disturbed Christian. She steals every scene she's in and delivers multiple monologues that rank among her best performances. The cast had a surprisingly great script to work with; sharp dialogue and well-written conversations make this film extremely realistic. There were a few stupid decisions and characters scattered throughout, but that doesn't hold back the film much. Also, the CGI could have been a little better. With it's strong cast, memorable monologues, and solid script, The Mist builds perfectly to an ending that's unforgettable. Devastating, infuriating, but perfect.… Expand

A very good adaptation of a Stephen King Novella. Darabont stays true to the story King penned, with the exception of the ending which even King lauded, saying he'd wished he thought of it.
This was a lower budget thriller with horrorA very good adaptation of a Stephen King Novella. Darabont stays true to the story King penned, with the exception of the ending which even King lauded, saying he'd wished he thought of it.
This was a lower budget thriller with horror elements. So the special effects are good, but not superb. Still, Darabont's direction helped to keep suspense high, and the few locations kept the story centered as it was in the novella.
The acting is good, though not stellar. Includes several actors who would enjoy success in the series "The Walking Dead", including Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn, and Melissa McBride.
As the bulk of the story revolves around a group trapped in the local supermarket, it is character driven and contains social commentary. The inter-relationship between characters within the supermarket follows the story King crafted and does it well. The hardest part for me personally was Sam Witwer's hand sculpted eyebrows. They were a distraction!
As for the other reviews here - if you read any that scored less than 5, the reviewer either allows their ignorance of the source material, their lack of knowledge with these types of films, or their inherent bias to overly color their review. While not the best horror or suspense movie, it certainly has its merits and deserves at least a 5 for even the staunchest critic. I had to eyeroll the number of reviewers who criticized the social commentary within the story. Clearly they know nothing of the source material, or what you do with characters caught in a single location during a disaster. It would be wise to ignore them.
I rated it eight out of ten because of the story execution and suspense maintained throughout. The ending, which has been described as one of the most disturbing in movie history, was the icing on the cake.… Expand

In this film, the life of a small village in the North of the United States is shaken by a mysterious white fog, seemingly unnatural. Quickly, the people realize that something terribly deadly lurks in the fog. Directed and written by FrankIn this film, the life of a small village in the North of the United States is shaken by a mysterious white fog, seemingly unnatural. Quickly, the people realize that something terribly deadly lurks in the fog. Directed and written by Frank Darabont, based on a Stephen King's novel, is the remake of "The Fog", 1980. The cast is headed by Thomas Jane and Marcia Gay Harden.

This film is excellent for those who like a horror movie where the greatest danger are people themselves. In fact, despite the horror hidden in the fog is the main antagonist and the greatest element of fear, the way people loses their reason throughout the film is something that we see in horror very often. Sometimes, especially in desperate situations, other people may be more dangerous than the things that cause us fear. The script cleverly explores that connection between fear of the fog (and what it hides) and the alienating effect it causes in people. The film contains several scenes of action and suspense, and scenes that aren't recommended to sensitive public. The end of the film is absolutely baffling and disturbing, one of the most unexpected end I've seen on terror. The cast were up to the challenge. Thomas Jane dominates the film with a very complex and human character, with whom the audience easily create a link. The opposite happens with the character of Marcia Gay Harden, an evangelical fanatic that soon reveals herself absolutely detestable. The tension is guaranteed by photography, which often purposely shakes, and a subtle but annoying soundtrack. The special, visual and sound effects are spectacular.… Expand

Gerilimi ve heyecanı güzel yansıtmış olduğu için ve benimde beklentim akıcı bir gerilim filmi olduğu için bunun karşılığını aldım. Sonu biraz daha iyi olabilirmiş. The walking dead oyuncularından bazılarını yine bir arada görmekte ayrı keyifliydi. İçinde bir kaç güzel mesajlar barındırıyor.

Felaket anlarında işte bu ilkellik, gizli tutulduğu derinliklerden çıkarak vücut bulur. Bir kaçış yolu, bir dayanak aramak pahasına olmadık şeylere inanır.

They could have been quiet, but no. People are too curious, panicky, and quickly lose hope. The film is not about the fact that monsters are scary, but about the fact that we ourselves make stupid decisions.

However, once we get into the swing of things, the acting remains negligible but the increased tension and edge of your seat moments of terror are worth it. Though far from being a truly horrifying film, the film manages to be incredibly intense and thrilling and, thanks to the camerawork, chaotic and somewhat claustrophobic. However, what truly sets the film apart from practically anything I have ever watched is the ending. Oh my God what an incredible ending. The book ending sounds nice, but holy cow this blows it out of the water. The film up to that sequence is solid, but far from being near extraordinary. The ending transcends the rest of the film and truly elevates the preceding ~two hours. Wow.

The Mist is what a horror film should be - dark, tense, and punctuated by just enough gore to keep the viewer's flinch reflex intact. In fact, that movie's ending is so uncompromising that one must assume director Frank Darabont had final cutThe Mist is what a horror film should be - dark, tense, and punctuated by just enough gore to keep the viewer's flinch reflex intact. In fact, that movie's ending is so uncompromising that one must assume director Frank Darabont had final cut so the studio couldn't interfere. (It's worth noting that the ending is not the same as that of Stephen King's novella, but I won't mention how it has changed.) Darabont has fashioned a tense motion pictures that's ultimately more about paranoia, religious fanaticism, and the price of hopelessness than it is about monsters. But the creatures are present and accounted for, lurking in the white-out that is the mist. Someone has finally succeeded where John Carpenter failed with The Fog.

Darabont, who was an established screenwriter before trying his hand at directing with 1994's The Shawshank Redemption, has made four motion pictures. The Mist is the third one that uses a Stephen King story as source material. Before The Mist, Darabont stuck to King's "straight" stories, but this time he takes a turn for the horrific. What he does right, however, is to focus more on the interplay between the characters than on the monsters. By the end, one wonders which group is more savage: us or them. Darabont's theme in some ways echoes a sentiment voiced by Ellen Ripley in Aliens: that human beings can be as bad or worse than the nightmares that sometimes hunt them. (The movie borrows other things from the Alien series, including the expulsion of creatures from the body and the cocooning of victims.)

The majority of the film takes place within the supermarket, although the most tense scenes are those in which one or more characters leaves its relative "safety" for a short period. Inside, as the terrified and trapped people grow increasingly more tense, the population fractures into three groups: those who believe in the supernatural explanation and follow Mrs. Carmody; those who reject that anything serious is wrong and follow Brent Norton, and those who know there are monsters but don't think praying is the answer and follow David. It's a story we have seen before: while the demons gather their forces in the darkness, the humans bicker amongst themselves.

The special effects are both a strength and a weakness. They are effective when portraying monsters seen through the gloom of the mist. (There's one horrific and awe-inspiring moment late in the movie.) When seen a little closer and clearer, however, the CGI is too apparent. Atmosphere is Darabont's strength. It's what drives the movie - wondering and fearing what might be out there, preparing to launch itself at the huge plate glass windows that front a supermarket. Using ingredients supplied by King, the director brews a potent stew that concludes with a scene tinged with the most bitter irony imaginable.

If there's a fault, it's in the "explanation" that details what the mist is and why the creatures are displacing humankind. This has tacked-on, obligatory feel. The scenario might have worked better if it was left to our imagination to figure out where the monsters come from or why they are here. Like time travel, the more the filmmakers try to explain it, the more lame it sounds. Fortunately, it's a small part of an otherwise superbly made motion picture. Finally, after a long list of failures, someone has done justice in bringing one of King's horror stories to the screen. Though definitely not the feel-good movie of the season, this is a must-see for anyone who loves the genre and doesn't demand "torture porn" from horror.… Expand

In all honesty, The Mist is not one of the best film adaptations. The book was very good, if not great, but the film was just decent. It looks great with great photography and effects, the story is intriguing and starts off very well, the acting especially from Marcia Gay Holden is good as is the direction, there is a strong atmosphere and the soundtrack and sound further adds to it. I was almost though willing to forgive the sometimes pedestrian pacing and clunky dialogue, until the ending let the film down completely. The ending is a slap in the face not only for fans of the book or King but also for those like me saw a film with so much promise, and its tone feels like a completely different movie. In conclusion, was pretty good, if only it weren't for that ending. 7/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

Reminiscent of "The Mist" reminded me of the original "Twilight Zone" when Rod Serling experimented with a one-hour format. Both, the anthology show and current Stephen King adaptation, undoubtedly are overlong and overstays its welcome. Reminiscent of "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street", "The Mist" even has a twist ending that punches you in the gut. Give the film its due; the political allegory might be a little hackneyed, but at least the film tries to be relevant as well as entertaining. Brent Norton(Andre Braugher) is like a member of President Bush's administration who ignores the people who are better informed and ends up getting his followers killed. "The Mist" also reminds people that American has its share of religious zealots; it's not just Iraq. As Mrs. Carmody, Marcia Gay Harden is such a showstopper, her performance feels better suited for the stage. She gives "The Mist" that filmed-play feel. Mrs. Carmody and Brent are the real monsters, not that squid thing(hey, NBC already gave us "The Beast", this monster is like SNL's Land Shark) who kills without prejudice. Rhetoric is what gets us killed.… Expand

The reviews indicate that the main problems were the varied acting and poor CG. I felt like the CG, while not great, is passable and not distracting, but the acting at times does tend to pull you out of the scene. Sometimes you are frustrated or relieved, sometimes you're disconnected from the intended reaction. All-in-all I would say this is a good movie if you're looking for a fish tank to watch, but I wouldn't expect to be sucked into the drama or horror.… Expand

My favorite part might have been when the purple dinosaur danced on the middle aged mans back, then a bee stung a girl, and then there was a benny hill scene in the market with a young man putting on a light show and another dinosaur trying to eat cake. It gave me quite the hoot.

And to top it off, there was even a joyful religious service!… Expand

A feeling of dread and horror. Then it all went downhill from there. Bad special effects aside, the acting was atrocious - at the end the way the main character is shouting is just plain unbelievable and silly. But the most frustrating thing to watch was the bad decisions the characters kept making over and over again. I know with movies like this, you have to suspend beliefs for a while, but the things they did was just unrealistic. The idea and the theme of the movie was good, but I just don't think it was executed the right way. A shame though, it could've been a great movie.… Expand

The monsters were only seen once each. The fear was non-existent. For much of the movie there was no music and only one location which was very sparse and left me wishing for a change in scenery and any music. When there was music it was so nice just to hear some background noise. There were some funny moments and a few creepy scenes but nothing that hasn't been done a lot better before. It looked and felt like a bad (and cheap) Silent Hill (2006) clone. The ending was bad and alluded to human issues of morality but never hit the target and there was so much time in the middle that was totally boring. An awesome start boiled down to a painfully predictable ending and boredom elsewhere.… Expand

The acting is nothing special. The soundtrack is boring. The movie relies on blood and jumpscares too much to say, "It was so spooky!" but rather, "Eh, it startled me a couple times." It isn't a 0 because it isn't awful. It's just bad. It's mediocre at best, and not worth any amount you pay for the disc or on Amazon or anywhere. As for the ending, instead of making us go like, "OH. EM. JEEEEEEEEEE!" we ended up chuckling at that excuse for a sad ending. Basically, don't watch it. It isn't worth two or three hours.… Expand

A talky morality bum-wipe broken up with action sequences so poorly staged and paced they bordered on tedious.

The creatures were especially disappointing, I was hoping for something truly demonic, but instead they're just bugs, only bigger. Marcia Gay Harden deserves an award for 'most annoying/overdone christian nutjob cliche in history'.

The special effects have aged terribly, and this film might have been somewhat better with practical effects, but that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that the film has very little to say other than “society breaks down in the face of disasters”, which may be one of the most overdone stories of the past couple decades. This may in part be the fault of King, whose short story shares many of these problems. Other than a few good moments and maybe the kernel of one or two interesting ideas, this movie was really a frustrating viewing experience for me.… Expand

Pity that because I definitely don't think that was the angle they were going for! The crazy religious nut was laughable (to see other reviews trying to get her notimated for an Oscar actually makes me feel ill). As far as special effects go, I have to say that nothing (and I mean nothing) lives up to the real thing. Why does every alien creature these days have that plasticy glaze? The casting agent obviously had one thing on their mind when they embarked upon their only task, and that was probably something like 'two expressions max guys. Ok so, eyebrows up, eyebrows down - you're hired! But maybe practice the eyebrows up for a bit before we start'. I heard rumours of a political undertone - and yeah, I suppose there was one but for crying out loud. Things just wouldn't get that out of control in the space of 3 days. The human race has come a long way...we know how to survive - it's like an in-built mechanism triggered by life threatening events. Many horror films play on this, and they can do it well, evoking our very senses, making us believe in the characters because they do the things that we'd do ourselves. That's how you build characters. Not by jamming a load of brief interpersonal meetings into 3 minute slots one after the other! Oh the amount of times I had to turn to my boyfriend and say 'cut the rope' 'leave him to die' 'get in the bloody car' which was all in good fun but you'd want to be a complete drone to enjoy this movie. The ending is not by any means harrowing - but it will have you in stitches - just wait til the desperate screaming part, you won't be disappointed! I'm mystified (potential pun here?) as to why this film is getting good reviews. If you read this and choose to ignore it, can I just say 'told ya so!'...you've been warned. Bring a laughter buddy and lots of popcorn to keep you awake. I'm scared of a lotta things, but mist isn't one of 'em...and if I had been there I would have just locked that mental religious lady in the toilet with her portable mini-bible to keep her busy. She'd shut up eventually. Also, guns don't solve everything...you'd think the Americans would know that by now. And if you're driving for ages and you think you might possibly run outta fuel, just ditch your car and get in another one. Duh! I shudder.

The social interactions were laughable. OneTotal trash. All the characters reacted in an unbelievable manner given the situation. The conflict between them was forcefully shoved down the viewers throat on top of being formulaic and cliche. The social interactions were laughable. One second people are rational, the next they give up all hope. One second they dont believe in anything, the next they are all religious zealots. There is nothing good about this movie. It does not illicit any sort of emotion of any kind and I am not sure it should be called horror.… Expand

But... no... all this movie really has going for it is that it's composed of cliches that while quite common and over used in other mediums are rare enough in movies due to how hard they are to execute properly in a movie, that it gives it some novelty simply for having them despite how incredibly bad they were executed in this movie. The ending isn't something special that people dislike due to how horrifying/cringe it is in itself, it's bad because of how badly written/executed this movie was as a whole, the ending just so happens to be worst implemented element/the weakest link, had it been in a better movie such an ending could've been amazing, but in this particular movie it's just the worst part of an awful movie.… Expand
