Really Dumb

Rating: 3/10 (31 March 2008)

The movie itself was well made and suspenseful. You wanted to know what was going to happen. This is the only reason I (generously) gave this movie a 3. The problem with the movie is that the whole point of the first 5/6ths of the movie was that Christians are terrible people. Particularly Conservative-leaning Christians (total lunatics!). And the last 6th of the movie was even worse. I won't tell you how it ends, but it was a horrible ending. A total waste of time. I do not recommend this movie to anyone. My comment has to be 10 lines long so I will go ahead and give a quick outline of the movie. After a major storm, the lead character, David, takes his little boy to the local grocery store to pick up some groceries to get them through until their power comes back on. While they are in the store, a mist settles over the area. If anyone goes outside, the people within the building hear their agonizing death screams, and occasionally find body parts etc... Well, as all the people are in the building, scared of what's outside, the crazy Christian lady, Mrs. Carmody, stirs up the frightened people until they become a foaming, frothing, rabid (Christian) mob. Anyone who disagrees with them, or that they think had something to do with causing the mist outside gets murdered or sacrificed to the monsters outside. Finally a group of people make it outside, some of them make it to David's car, and they try to drive out of the mist... The ending is worse than the scene inside the store. Unless you want to be talked down to, insulted, and then depressed, don't rent this movie, don't watch this movie, don't buy this movie. Do something more useful with your time, like lace and re-lace your shoelaces 72 times.
