Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
adonis98-743-186503 A freak storm unleashes a species of bloodthirsty creatures on a small town, where a small band of citizens hole up in a supermarket and fight for their lives. The Mist benefits from excellent perfomances by Thomas Jane, Laurie Holden, Toby Jones and Jeffrey DeMunn. Unfortunately however the terrible ending, the annoying characters of Mrs. Carmody and Brent Norton and some overall cheesy cgi effects make for a very flawed and just interesting sci-fi thriller that could have been even better if it didn't try so hard.... (6.2/10)
mohammadjh92 I am a bit confused, there were alot of contraversial things happened, a group of humans locked up in the store surrounded by mist that was full of supranatural creatures, death was waiting the ones who go out.How on earth they chose to go out? They have good supply in the store, if human get in such situation its logical to stay until get rescued or ran out of supply, then its logical to go out, they went out risking everything, going blindly to nowhereThe second thing, they noticed that the unstable religious lady was starting to affect others by her ideas, why they let her do that?! They could've threatened her to throw her in the mist if she keeps doing that.Wha about the end! They suffered all the way for the sake of survival then just by running out of the gas its over! Make no senseWhat really make things understandsble is that all the weird choices represent the wrong choices that people may take when they face danger, the people in this movie made the bad choices and the end represents the awful result of thier decisions.
The Movie Diorama I've tried to open my eyes up to one of Stephen King's later horror films, but alas with every watch I just feel underwhelmed. A strange elusive mist overshadows a small town where various civilians are trapped in a supermarket. However, within the mist are strange gruesome creatures so it's up to the trapped survivors to try and escape. The situation that is presented is an allegory. Humanity itself is self-destructive. With many different personalities in one secluded location, there's bound to be cliques, differing views and struggle for power. This is where the film succeeds. The paranoia undertone that the narrative conveys is the thrilling element. Utilising the strength of fear to persuade and corrupt others into an idealism. How is that portrayed here? A flipping religious lunatic preaching to the crowd. Oh yes, is it a sly dig at religious conversion? No, I don't think so. It highlights how humans destroy each other, and provides the plot with an antagonist that incredibly infuriated me. The monsters are just there to provide tame scares in all it's horrible CGI glory. Sure they look creative and provide some gruesome aspects, yet somehow I was bored. I wasn't particularly thrilled. I just felt incredibly annoyed at how damn easily people can get corrupted, which in fairness is what the plot was going for. I found the acting to be incredibly mediocre, particularly in the first two acts. Every line of dialogue was monotonous. A few good gory scenes involving mini arachnids bursting out a living person or acid web to the face. Then...the ending arrives. If I wasn't infuriated enough, this was the icing on the cake. I absolutely hated the conclusion. Depressing? Yes. But damn coincidental and convenient if you ask me. I understand the purpose, that even good souls ultimately destroy others. But...urgh. The trapped environment and intelligent narrative is what excites me, everything else was absurdly mediocre. Just...the ending...I despise it.
jayholmeshj I am going to start off by saying two things. First, this is a horror movie. Second, I don't like horror movies. Since this is an adaptation of a book (by Stephen King), I can't fire on the story but only watch this if you can handle gruesome deaths and a seriously messed up ending. The ending was what ruined the movie for me, I'll try not to give any big spoilers but what happened was character A kills 4 people (one of whom is his family) to free them from the pain of living in a world infested with monsters, BUT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE WORLD IS RESTORED BACK TO NORMAL 5 MINS LATER! I mean, I haven't watched a movie that has a worse ending than this one. To sum up, only watch if you are a fan of horror movies or if you like the book. Others will feel really miserable.
