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

 Brilliant, compelling horror film November 30, 2008
This is a fantastic film. The direction (from the man who filmed "The Shawshank Redemption") is spot on, and after 30 minutes you will find yourself completely pulled into the situation.
This is a brilliant and inventive story that has the power to shock, and by the end I was stunned by what had happened. This is suspense / horror cinema of a very high standard.
The Mist collectors edition. November 23, 2008
Just loved this movie. Bible thumper is a real convincing act. Painful end. I actually rented it a few times before purchasing. Love Thomas Jane and King so the purchase was inevitable.
Horrifying! Shocking! Message about Faith? November 23, 2008
This is what movies are all about! It's gripping, suspenseful, eerie. I rent movies and easily get distracted if the movie is boring or stupid. This movie was so worth watching, I preferred to hold my piss until the movie was finished. I didn't even know my wife was sitting next to me during the film. I highly recommend it to anybody. The ending is shocking, however, the movie has a message and not just a brainless sci-fi thriller with cool special effects. Great cinematography, excellent casting, and pretty original. I read some negative reviews here but I'm afraid this movie was actually a lot better than what I read. Thanks Stephen King because now I want to buy it. Classic film work for me.
 I hated this movie. I hated, hated, hated this movie. HATED it. November 17, 2008

This is among the worst movies I have ever seen. The characters are stupid and one-dimensional; the concept too absurd for any suspension of disbelief, and the story goes from dull to violent to absurdly dull. The 'surprise ending' is totally predictable given the cruelty with which the storyline treats all of the characters. I would rather have sinus surgery than sit through this miserable piece of detritus ever again.
Thanks to Roger Ebert for my subject line
Better than expected! November 17, 2008
I am always devided when it comes to book to movie adaptions as alot of times they ravage the story. But overall I was plesantly surpized with this latest Stephan King story brought to celluoid. The effects are done well considering, the plot is very suspenciful (fear of the unknown), and the premise of how the mist/whats in the mist came to be is not explained but briefly suggested at and very interesting. I love movies that leave you thinking and captivated ie: 28 Days/Weeks Later and the Mist is no exception. Over all a great movie, this one will leave you captivated and looking over your shoulder and staying away from dark corners for days to come. Great Job!
