Monumental. Simply put: The Mist is one of the deepest films I've seen for all time.

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2008)

Simply put: The Mist is one of the deepest films I've seen for all time. But it is also straightforward, blatantly showing off the very bit of humanity to the audience. A piece of art spiritually akin to "Lord of Flies" or all these great works of Theodore Dreiser, the Mist transcends the horror/thriller/sci-fi movie genre, and represents the rare spark of genius not commonly seen in the PG-13ified movie industry nowadays.
I doubt the critics would dare to honor this film though. It's bleak portrait of religions will definitely deter a lot of praise that it deserves (just look at "No country for old men" versus "There will be blood"). But true works of transcendence are seldomly commonly accoladed. I'm so happy that I've witnessed this colossal piece of art in our generation.
