Review of The Mist (2007) by Spangle — 24 Sep 2015
The Mist is truly a mixed bag. The beginning is quite weak. Though as hectic as it should be as the townsfolk try to piece together what is happening, the acting really holds it back. However, once we get into the swing of things, the acting remains negligible but the increased tension and edge of your seat moments of terror are worth it.
Though far from being a truly horrifying film, the film manages to be incredibly intense and thrilling and, thanks to the camerawork, chaotic and somewhat claustrophobic. However, what truly sets the film apart from practically anything I have ever watched is the ending.
Oh my God what an incredible ending. The book ending sounds nice, but holy cow this blows it out of the water. The film up to that sequence is solid, but far from being near extraordinary. The ending transcends the rest of the film and truly elevates the preceding ~two hours.
Wow. Overall, The Mist is a good science fiction horror film with a killer ending that will stick with you for a while.
