Leave your thoughts about The Mist.
| Dread CentralSteve "Uncle Creepy" BartonThe Mist divides those who want cheap escapist thrills from those who like their horror with real heart, brains, and courage. |
| The Film YapNick RogersThe black-and-white version's stark contrasts give greater claustrophobic force to the fragility of civilization when ideology grows as deadly as any marauding beasts. Prepare also to be knocked cold and gut-kicked for good measure by its ending. |
| musicOMH.comAnton BitelLike Shyamalan's Signs but without the salvationist coda, The Mist is a bleak look at what happens when faith, hope and charity have all got lost in the fog. |
| WJFK-FM (CBS Radio)Kevin McCarthyWait until you see the end of this film! It was one of the most horrific endings I have ever seen. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressFrank Darabont's The Mist is easily the best horror film since The Blair Witch Project and the most socially frightening statement about humanity in the post 9/11 era. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertSome scary movies can stand your hair on end. A few can make your skin crawl. The Mist gave me the feeling I was being scalped with an icicle. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsWith all due respect to Stephen King and Frank Darabond, military experiments as a cause for science fictioned creatures is yawningly unoriginal. But go see The Mist, just for Marcia Gay Harden's amazing, chillingly accurate portrayal |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliWhat a horror film SHOULD be - dark, tense, and punctuated by just enough gore to keep the viewer's flinch reflex intact. |
| NewsBlazePrairie MillerA horde of plus size nuclear bugs stops by to shoplift and chow down on some take-out humans, favoring their homo sapien dinner fare feisty and playing hard to get, and never bothering to stop at the cash register. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsGood and creepy, The Mist comes from a Stephen King novella and is more the shape, size and quality of the recent “1408,” likewise taken from a King story, than anything in the persistently fashionable charnel house inhabited by the “Saw” and “Hostel” franchises. |
