Stephen King's The Mist (2008, DVD)

It's an average movie. It did keep my attention through out and the ending was real good. Otherwise it ran a bit too long.

I liked it because I had rented it from Blockbuster and wanted to purchase a copy for myself. I like it and everything was great about the quality of the DVD picture. It was delivered ahead of time and I have been enjoying the movie ever since.

I like all of

What happens when the door to a parallel universe gets opened and just like Pandora's box unleashes a maelstrom of frightening creatures. I have been a fan of Stephen King for a long time. I will read almost anything he writes and see just about any movie he is connected with. He has been away for a while and this movie was worth the wait. Could be considered a cautionary tale, it will make you squirm.

This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I would highly recommend you see it if you haven't. I've heard people complaining about the ending and I admit the ending is a little weird but that's what makes it so fun, there's probably going to be a Mist 2!

Heard this was a good movie. I did not like it. My husband hated it. Made me think of how policeman have quotas, maybe King needs money and just hashes out more drivel. Between this movie and Dumas Key ... I am spending my money on books and movies without his name on them from now on!

Not one of kings better movies. About the only thing that was really good was th ending. Very predictable ending. I am a King fan usually but this was not one of his better works in my opinion.

AFTER A MYSTERIOUS MIST ENVELOPS A SMALL NEW ENGLAND TOWN, A GROUP OF LOCALS TRAPPED IN A SUPERMARKET MUST BATTLE A SIEGE OF OTHERWORLDLY CREATURES...AND THE FEARS THAT THREATEN TO TEAR THEM APART.THE MIST IS NOT ONLY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF 2007,IT'S ONE OF THE BEST HORROR MOVIES EVER MADE.PERIOD.

I liked the movie, however, the loud mouthed bible thumper needed to be 'sacrificed' to the monsters. She got on my nerves!

Must see if you like scary movies. Stephen King does his best one yet. All I can say is does anyone have a gun to shoot the Church Lady,lol. Will she ever hut up, find out see the movie.

This is one of the best scarey movies I've seen in a while. Great creatures. Steven King at his best. The ending blew me away.

I enjoy Steven King Book's & Movies. .Usually I am confident in figuring out the ending But, OMG !! This totally took me by surprise. Loved the ending !!! Also, The conversion of beliefs & relevent lack of faith was to a degree: A sad commentary of today's life. . . . . Emjoyed this Movies very much. . .

Sorry about the misunderstanding. Thank you so much for understanding and helping me. You're GREAT!!!!!

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+

GOOD STEPHEN KING FLICK. CRAZY ENDING!!!!!! AS CLOSE TO THE B0OK AS YOU CAN GET. IF A KING FAN IT'S A MUST SEE!!!!!!!

this movie has a great thought about human reactions to certain situations. The insight to this is great considering it was written a long time ago. I love the ending very thought provoking.

A great on the edge of your seat thriller. Stephen King has done it again. There are many "what is going to happen" moments. You really do not know what is going to happen next. A great movie that you can watch over and over.

I love The Mist, It was excideing,but scarey, and very good movie all together.There was nothing that I didn't like.The adversents of the movie sounded so good That I rented it first and had to have it to own for my self.

As always Stephen King at his best. This movie will have you spellbound all the way to the end. The director has done a fabulous job keeping the audience on the edge of their seat. I would give it a 10 for 10 and a huge thunbs up. If you liked "Storm of the Century" you will like this movie.

This director has also done the Shawshank Redemption which was also a fantastic movie. The ending of this movie is great. I will not give it away you have to see it for yourself. The special effects are cool and the music is exceptionally nerve-wracking. Marcia Gay Harden is fantastic in her role and so is the hero lead actor, can't remember his name but I found out he's married to Patrica Arquette (TV's Medium). Great movie, one you'll want to keep in your collection to watch again...but not on a dark and stormy night. LOL.

Another great film by Frank Darabont who loves to adapt King's stories for the big screen. He also directed the great Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. This movie comes close to those great films. I thought the CGI was excellent, all the creatures looked great. This movie is very much like the novella "The Mist" except for the end, even though Stephen King did hint that it could come to the ending that Darabont chose. Darabont actually got Kings O.K. for the ending he wrote for the film and King said he wished he had written his ending this way. If you listen to the directors commentary you will hear all about it. I definitely recommend this movie to any horror fans and just plain fans of film.

After a bad storm that puts a tree through his studio window, David Drayton (Jane), his son Billy (Gamble), and neighbor Brent (Braugher) head into town to get some supplies from the supermarket. Once there, the mist that they saw rolling across the lake has made it into town and engulfs the store. The terror level is upped when a man runs into the store with blood on his face, screaming that there is something out there. Indeed, there is, and soon those trapped in the store see what it is. To make matters worse, a religious fanatic by the name of Mrs. Carmody (Harden) is stirring up some of the customers with her talk of the end of the world. David finds himself looked to for guidance, and when things seem to be as bad as they can be, things get worse.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE BECAUSE I LOVE HORROR MOVIES, AND THIS IS A VERY GOOD HORROR MOVIE WITH ALL TYPES OF MONSTERS, I JUST LOVE THAT, I ALSO LOVE THIS MOVIE BECAUSE IT LET ME KNOW YOU NEVER GIVE UP, NO MATTER HOW HARD OR BAD THINGS GET, HELP COULD BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. GREAT MOVIE, GREAT ACTORS IN THIS MOVIE.

What I love about Stephen King is that over the many years as a writer he has never failed in writing a novel that a good director and screenwriter could take and make into an enjoyable movie.

I am not sure if King hand-picks who directs and produces these films, but in The Mist and other greats like Storm of the Century, The Shining, IT, Misery, his words are transformed through great scripts and great actors.

In The Mist, those who enjoy suspense thrillers (even if never seeing a Stephen King novel tranformed into a movie before) should be pleased. Within the first 30 minutes of this movie or less, it is clear that things are "not as they seem." The audience is instantly curious in what's to come.

This movie doesn't have a real "twist" to it but when the plot is revealed its intriguing. It makes you same "hmmm, what if?" all the while keeping your attention throughout. What I also like about these type of films are the moments when it appears everything and everyone is quiet, soft spoken or faint and then you get a jolt from the slightest actions - you will find some of this in this film.

Personally, there hasn't been anything in the suspense/thriller/horror genre to impress me much in a while other than the SAW movies but The Mist was a welcomed "change in scenery" if you will.
