Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

WSallai Marcia Gay Harden gave an over the top performance, but other actors gave believable reactions to the horrors that come out of the Mist. The ending is Shakespearean in its scope. Well done Stephen King!

richardsmith-74806 The Mist is a masterpiece of horror filmmaking. Hauntingly atmospheric and yet full of action, deeply thematic and with logical characters you root for. The Mist by celebrated director Frank Darabond is a testimony that a well made horror film is as good as any. Thomas Jane plays an everyday man trapped in a small town's shopping mall as their entire world is engulfed in a white mist on normal morning. Adding to the woes is that the mist contain vicious other realm creatures- the stuff of your nightmares. This is a great film and you should watch this whether you like Horror or not.

loutorres-88970 The 2007 film The Mist directed by Frank Darabont based on the novel by Stephen King is a very underrated film that deserves much more attention. The story centers around a group of people trapped inside of a grocery store when a large unknown mist engulfs the entire town. As the characters in the grocery store are slowly introduced, they soon discover that the mist contains weird unknown creatures. The irony in this film is not that there are creatures surrounding the grocery store and the characters are basically trapped. It is mainly about how a life threatening disaster and struggle for survival can bring out the best and worst in people. From watching the film many times throughout my life I have finally figured out the true meaning behind it. The mist and the creatures that inhabit it are not the point in this film, it is the characters and their choices that they make throughout the film that impact it the most. Frank Darabont does an extraordinary job of bringing out the struggle for survival amongst the characters in the store without over dramatizing it. The real villain in the movie is not the creatures in the mist but a religious fanatic named Mrs.Carmundy played by Marcia Gay Harden. As the movie goes on and the inhabitants of the store begin to witness the full extent of the mist,Carmundy acquires a following claiming that humanity is being punished by god. This in itself proves that ignorance and fear lead to stupidity which is a direct reference to modern day issues. Overall the film is very well executed and directed. There is no over the top acting and never a dull moment. There are a couple of shots in the film where the cgi is a little bit dated, but does not ruin the film. I would argue the mist is more of a drama than an actual horror film. The mist and the creatures serve as a mere backdrop to the real evil inside of the grocery store, and that is what makes the film so great.

luckylove-64533 Being a major reader since I was little and seeing so many movies and shows fail to represent different series and books, this movie by far accels. I always loved it as a scary movie growing up and when I finally read the novella, my god this movie shined even brighter. One of the only adaptations that actually holds a light to the book it is based on. Truly love this movie and will continue to recommend it to my friends as a great horror movie.
