Part sci fi / part Thriller / usual KING. (-:
Review created: 04/28/08(updated 05/02/08)
This movie is for the Suspence fan, the sci-fi fan. Gore fans stay away.
A small town is engulfed by a creepy mist hiding mutant monster bugs. Trapped in a store, the mob mentality of townies inside proves as dangerous as the giant insects outside. Good political religious proper gander if you like that. It's a usual Stephen King story.
Marcia Gay Harden's 'frumpy', 'frothing' zealot, and the ending are both brilliant and maddening i thought at the same time. I would have freaked if it were me in the end! Ending is a small mind blower. If it were you, you would freak.
EXTRAS take you through the production with commentary and docs, and the two-disc set offers The Mist in preferred black and white. As an old-school horror fan , buy this movie. It gives you a view of the world that...doesn't exist in reality. King at his best, but not his total best. B+
