David and his son with many other town people are entrapped in grocery shop by a bizarre ethereal mist. Not even a single person knows what is going on but then an old wounded man comes straight towards the market and yells ‘something in the mist!' – Weird beings with enormous squid-like tentacles also have mouths, teeth, and arms.

The last 30 minutes play like a dismissive ambush, leading to a final scene so utterly misguided that it I wanted to hurl obscenities at the screen.

A near-campy escapist thrill ride.

The Mist builds toward a climax so wrenching that I hesitate to recommend the film, but I think Darabont earns his vision.

[This] grocery-store survival drama, dominated by Marcia Gay Harden as a shrill fundamentalist, serves as a crude but effective allegory for post-9/11 America.

Even though it is mindless, at least until the provocative ending, The Mist manages to provide some decent old-school shocks.

The Mist has a lot of the elements to be one of the great horror films, but it never quite puts it all together. It's still very good, but a few missteps keep it from ever being more than that.

The black-and-white version's stark contrasts give greater claustrophobic force to the fragility of civilization when ideology grows as deadly as any marauding beasts. Prepare also to be knocked cold and gut-kicked for good measure by its ending.

The Mist is a creature feature in which the monsters are almost incidental, but the panic and fear-mongering that comes with the territory is what ultimately causes the most chaos.

Frank Darabont presents a movie with one of the most pesimist and hopeless endings in cinema history. [Full review in Spanish]
July 07, 2010
Writer-director Frank Darabont had skillfully translated the human drama of Stephen King's work in The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption , but he seems hopelessly lost in The Mist.

It's a horror movie of real conviction. It deserves to be a hit.

The Shawshank Redemption, was splendid; the second, The Green Mile, wasn't; and now The Mist continues the slide. I wouldn't say this is laugh-out-loud risible, but there are definitely moments.
