Not for the squeamish

Rating: 6/10 (28 November 2007)

A small, quiet town in Maine, New England, is turned upside down when a portal to another dimension is opened by a group of military scientists in The Arrowhead Project. The real tragedy is what the government accidentally brings through this ominous portal  terror and horror like never before.
What was once a peace-loving environment becomes a feeding frenzy for flesh-eating abominations from hell. David Drayton (Jane) is just a regular dad going about his business when an electric storm sends a giant tree crashing through his living room. This storm is particularly vicious and soon even his neighbor (Braugher)  a boorish man  suffers the same fate. Over on the horizon they notice something inexplicable gathering momentum  a heavy mist.
The group heads out into town to replenish their supplies but that's as far as they go. With this ubiquitous mist comes nothing but gruesome death. A large group of townies finds refuge in a local supermarket. Here their fears are amplified; paranoia takes root (in true Stephen King style) and hell on earth begins its frightful journey. The Mist silently stalks all living creatures while it conceals carnivorous bugs and beasts of unimaginable proportions.
If you are squeamish or easily spooked, The Mist is definitely not for you
