 The Mist May 15, 2008
Someone here stated that The Mist is brilliant and I completely agree. This film is not about monsters and people being gobbled up. There are messages that has one reflecting on human behavior in reaction to incredible and deadly situations. This movie does not lag and gets right into the drama. I would recomend watching it to anyone.
 The fog versus the giant mantis April 19, 2008
Sorry but this is one of those run-of-the-mill monsters in the dark or creeps in the fog movies. The monsters are not scarier. The victims are standard group. Some are heroes, some are rats, and some are just monster fillers. If nobody gets out alive, we will be better off.
The miracle is how they can think of new deadly fog things for two hours and seven minutes without getting bored. It's a wonder that somebody can watch for two hours and seven minutes without using the fast-forward button. I suggest that you keep the fast-forward button handy right after the beginning credits. You can push it until the ending credits, and you will have saved two hours and nearly 7 minutes.
Basic story Mist finds town, people hide in store, some people stick nose out, nose does not return.
Both "The Blob" and the "Deadly Mantis." Have more structure, suspense, and social redeeming value.
King's Most Brilliant Movie Since The Shining April 12, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The movie is brilliant from start to finish. The hardest thing people seem to have in dealing with this movie is the choice the main character makes. One reviewer said there is no way the character would have made this choice and thinks the movie fails at that end. But the whole movie is about the internal horrors, not the monsters that are outside.
At the beginning, there are movie posters, The Thing, Labyrinth, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile....What happens in all these movies is the human element and being faced with difficult choices. The fact that he makes a choice is what makes him a hero. It is an evil twist of fate that happens to him at the end. It is cruel. If you've ever seen the other movies, you know at the beginning this is not going to be pretty and happy. None of those movies are, this is what makes this movie brilliant. There is foreshadowing and allusion that is rare to see in a movie.
This is a remarkable horror story because it is real horror. The kind of horror that gets under your skin.
Le maître de l'horreur se surpasse encore une fois ! April 12, 2008

Un très bon film d'horreur ou ce mêle à merveille le délire religieux et une peur pathologique de l'inconnu... de tout temps l'homme a eu une peur incontrôlable de tout ce qu'il ne comprends pas... Mettez y une vieille folle qui se fait passer pour une prophète aider par quelques évènements qui se produisent comme dans la bible... Ajoutez y quelques "monstres" à tout cela qui pourraient facilement passer pour des démons et vous aurez droit à un merveilleux délire collectif qui serait prêt à tous suivent leur sauveuse illuminée jusqu'en enfer...
Heureusement que dans de tel situation il reste toujours des gens qui sont assez fort pour ne pas succomber et prendre soin d'eux et de ceux qui veulent bien les aider... Malheureusement quand le sort ce lie contre vous et vos compagnons il ne semble plus rester grand chose à faire si ce n'est tenter de fuir le plus loin possible dans l'espoir que plus loin, quelque part il y est encore de quoi qui puisse vous aider...
Un film qui m'a littéralement transporté, chose que je ne dis pas souvent dans ce genre de film, pour moi l'horreur est plus souvent qu'autrement un bien faible divertissement mais il faut dire que quand on regarde la liste des collaborateurs du film et celui qui a écrit l'histoire on ne pouvait pas vraiment faire un flop avec le titre sans devoir se forcer...
Great genre horror sci fi film April 10, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
A really good sci fi/horror film. There hasn't been too many of them made over the years. It has all of the elements of a Stephen King novel and is brought to the screen with the same feel that the books have. I think that there's too much being made about the ending. The ending is in keeping with much of the sci fi and horror movies and books of the fifties and sixties. There was usually a great twist ending that you didn't see coming. Personally I'm sick to death of hollywood movies that have to end with a cheery conclusion. I hope that Frank Darabont tackles a few more King stories in the future. He seems to have a great appreciation of the mood and characters in the stories.
