alcantaraj-16594 NOTE 1: I think people should check this one out. I disliked it but I can see that a lot of people will love it.NOTE 2: Marcia Gay Harden was incredible! Mrs. Carmody was despicable and I hated her so much! The movie is worth watching just for her performance.NOTE 3: The ending was great and devastating (but was ruined a little bit by Thomas Jane's performance)"The Mist" could have been a better/great movie if:1 They hired better actors - throughout the entire film, I felt that no one except Marcia Gay Harden gave their best performance. Everyone else ranges from meh to pretty good.2 The movie was more expensive - the movie's budgeted at $18,000,000 and it shows. The mist itself looked okay and the CGI creatures looked like they're in another scene.3 They made the story slightly better - I never read the book. The movie's story, however, was "okay." I did not care that much for the characters. I did, however, wanted Mrs. Carmody to die and I rejoice that I got what I wanted.

drystyx This horror movie about isolated people in a grocery facing unknown horrors outside is the opposite of what Stephen King usually does. Generally, King captures three dimensional characters, or at least attempts to give "credible characters in incredible situations" more than most Hollywood writers. But here we get the opposite. These characters don't even come close to being one dimensional. They're simply seen from a demon possessed point of view of one person. This one simply rationalizes how the others behave. They don't behave in any realistic way, though he tries to look calm. It's obvious that this character is a true human monster simply deciding how others act out of his own convenience for the Hell he wants the world to be. Trouble is that the makers of this movie don't make that clear enough for the feeble minds already totally brainwashed by Western culture's dark ages of Psychiatry, and that means this movie is part of the problem, not the solution.

bradleygranz The mist was one of best horror movie i ever seen its based on the stephen king book the mist it dose has a shocking i didnt like the ending but it still good to watch

destinylives52 Stephen King's novella of the same title gets a decent adaptation in "The Mist." After a strong storm, a large mist quickly surrounds a town, trapping dozens of people in a supermarket. Terrifying creatures roam within the mist, hunting and killing anyone who ventures outside. But danger also lurks within the refuge of the supermarket. As the hours slowly tick by, the people form opinions on what is happening and how to survive it. Three separate groups start to form, and one will overpower the others, ushering in a new level of violence and bloodshed that will rival the horrors within the mist.My most memorable, movie moment of "The Mist" is the scene when 5 survivors trapped in a vehicle make a shocking decision. More on this below.I have read the novella and thought it a brilliant piece of writing. But the movie version is...far from brilliant. Two things prevented it from being great. First: Thomas Jane is completely wrong for the part of the main character. His superhero looks had no place in this story. The main character was a regular person forced to do extraordinary things under a tremendous amount of pressure and fear. Jane was completely out of his element as he wasn't believable at all when he tried to look afraid. I was expecting him to suddenly walk around with his Punisher shirt on, blasting the creatures with a large, automatic rifle and saving the whole world. Second: the ending. I understand some of the logic that went to the decision that was made in the vehicle; but there was another option. And the aftermath of that decision? Depending on your values and point of view, you will either be horrified and stunned, or start to laugh. And the fact that the ending can produce laughter tells me that it was the wrong ending to put in this movie.The creatures were great though.Mannysmemorablemoviemoment
