Editorial Review:
Description:
A mysterious mist, thick with blood-thirsty creatures, descends on a small town, where a group of people holes up in a grocery store to fight for their lives.
Amazon.com:
Writer-director Frank Darabont, who showcased the softer side of Stephen King in his film adaptations of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, turns to darker material for The Mist, his latest King adaptation about a group of ordinary townspeople trapped in a supermarket by a mysterious fogbank. Thomas Jane is top-billed as a Maine illustrator who attempts to calm the frightened shoppers, but his job is cut out for him from the get-go, first by the discovery of malevolent creatures lurking in the mist, and then by the mad mutterings of Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden), a local eccentric who calls for Old Testament-style sacrifices to appease the supernatural forces. Darabont delivers monster movie thrills and understated social commentary with equal skill, and he's well supported by his cast (which includes Andre Braugher, Toby Jones, William Sadler and Jeffrey DeMunn) and the vivid special effects by KNB EFX, which effectively mix CGI with models and stop-motion animation (the terrific monsters were designed by legendary comic book artist Bernie Wrightson). And for those curious about how the novella's downbeat ending has translated to film, suffice it to say that Darabont's conclusion is at once different and more unsettling than King's. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - awesome
Excellent blue ray movie transfer along with a great movie itself. I would recommend this movie to all horror buffs.
Rating:  - Stupid Characters doing stupid things
It seems the writer intended this movie to be a sort of morality tale about the frailty of humanity and the depths to which people will sink in the face of fear and the unknown. He failed miserably. The characters are unrealistic archetype caricatures, all of which are unbelievably stupid and slow to act in the diferent situations that arise in the movie. Apparently the only archetype not represented is that of rational humane man. Everyone's first instinct is to either kill someone else or start ... Read More

Rating: - misty eye...(contain spoilers, you have been warned!!!)
I love this movie based on the short story from Stephen King. I didn't expect much from "The Mist" since nearly all Mr.King's works had turned into bombs upon bombs, but fortunately, there are a few good and really excellent ones too.
Still, the interpretation of the amazing written works of Stephen King were not justified whenever they're turned in either a couple of miniseries,a-made-for-tv movies and movies to satisfy the cravings of the cinemagoers.
With "The Mist" the ... Read More
Rating:  - never screw with a good thing !
I waited for years to see this made into a film , and had high hopes for it . but some idiot thought he knew better than the author of the story how it should end ! and by changing the ending totally ruined it ! why would you produce a rather decent film from a great story ,and then rip the very heart and soul from it ? this fool should never be allowed to produce another film !
