Review of The Mist (2007) by Minya A — 01 Apr 2012
The problem with a lot of Stephen King movies is that they're done in an incredibly cheesy and unfulfilling way. I watched this film because I pretty much watch/read anything that has King's mark on it, and I am happy to say that I was not disappointed with this one.
Yes, there's your typical supernatural element (oh my gosh, a giant man-eating mist! weird aliens & parasites! etc). Yes, there's also your typical characters-stuck-in-one-location-together situation (let's divide up and see who can outsmart the other!). And yes, there's just enough gore and violence to make you squirm uncomfortably in your seat. What got me, however, was the ending. That pretty much sealed the deal for this film. It made me sit up, it made me shake my head in amazement, and it made me respect the fact that neither the writer nor the director were scared to go there.
Well worth watching. Especially for the ending.
