Review of The Mist (2007) by Jamie K — 09 Aug 2018

SPOILERS.

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.
