Summary: This was AWFUL!!!!! I want my two hours back!!
Comment: This was the WORST movie I have EVER seen. I kept watching it thinking it would get better if I was just patient. It did not. The ending was miserable and a perfect fit to a wasted movie experience. Save yourself the time and money and rent/buy a movie that is worth it.

Summary: The Best king adaptation ever?.....maybe
Comment: The thing about the mist is it creeps up on you, kinda like the way the beasties do in this movie. One minute your thinking your watching an average modern day homage to 50s b movies and then bang! it hits you, what your actually watching is a masterful execution of storytelling with just the right amount of terror to keep the toes curled. Frank darabonts excellent adaptation of one of stephen kings lesser known novellas is full of great ideas and with a necessary first half of the movie given over more to character development rather than needless gore and empty shocks, this in turn leads to a far more satisfying second and third acts when you actually care about their plight, this is the key to a great movie, especially in this genre. Thomas jane heads a cast of great character actors as a simple trip to the supermarket turns into a siege when a huge mist descends upon the town full of other worldly creature's. Its a simple tale of 'who's the worst animal' the creature's outside or the ones trapped inside? but it's told with such glee and abandonment that you can't help but be absorbed into king's rather eerie world. The beasts themselves are a mix bag of lovecraftean giants and mutated insects and the mist itself adds to there mystery although this was probably more for budgetary reasons than for effect, but it's hard not to feel a bit let down that the bigger ones don't get more screen time, however the scene in the pharmacy with some terrifying arachnid types more than compensates. This is a rare horror movie, one that invests time and energy into it's inhabitants and is all the better for it, after all it's the ending that has had more criticism than anything else and that was for being so morbid and sad, but if this was a standard stalk and slash gorefest would anyone really care? i doubt it. see it.

Summary: An explanation for some of the bad, 1-star reviews you see here.
Comment: Several fundamentalist churches have taken exception to the way Marcia Gay Harden's character was depicted, and have encouraged their faithful to give this wonderful movie bad ratings, in the hope of reducing the number of people who buy it. Just thought you'd like to know. The supermarket scene was some of the best drama ever in a horror movie. Judge for yourself!
Customer Rating:
Summary: There was a reason it was a novella.
Comment: The movie was based on a novella, and the two hours you would take to read it would be time better spent than watching this overlong movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Borderline bad movie with a "Horrible",& most non-redeaming ending
Comment: I can't believe what I just watched.
I know King is bizarre but after sitting through a B-movie like scare flick, I had to watch a father shoot his own son -to save him- only to have the military arrive minutes later???? That is just wrong.
I watched TV-like special effects, people sacrifice eachother, murder, and bloody/gross scenes only to be confronted with an unimagineal ending of killing your own son??
If you even think of buying, renting , or watching this movie you should have your head examined. How do I get back that 2 hrs of my life?
