Lose This Film in the Thickest of Mist.

Rating: 3/10 (4 February 2016)

The Mist (2007): Dir: Frank Darabont / Cast: Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden, Andre Braugher, William Sadler: Dreadful horror film about the unknown but about as scary as a bout of constipation. Simple plot regards a mist that invades a town and a group of people trapped in a supermarket from some unknown creature bent on making this an unpleasant shopping experience. From there everyone becomes fast food because they are too stupid to remain alive. This film might have been much more interesting had the mist in question just been someone's bad bout of diarrhea and stench. They could solve the plot at the light of a match. That might have solved this plot to had anyone had the decency to burn the script. Frank Darabont does his best and is aided by special effects that are mainly enclosed by the mist. Darabont has made far superior films such as The Shawshank Redemption and The Majestic. Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden, and Andre Braugher are the bunt of a bad joke here. Nobody in this travesty is in for a very happy ending and that is the film's final disappointment. In fact, the ending is one of the most depressing and pointlessly cruel acts I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through. It is hopeless with no redeeming value whatsoever. This film should be set on fire to evaporate into the nothing that it is. Score: 3 / 10
