Houston, we've got a terrible movie!

Rating: 1/10 (10 December 2007)

I was suckered into watching this after reading all the glowing reviews on IMDb.com. I guess I got my hopes up a little too high, because this film is awful. The Mist is made from the same ingredients that all of todays terrible horror films are made from. Corny middle class white family; check, token black guy that won't listen to reason; check, a surrounding cast of do-gooders that offer little help and ultimately make everything worse; check. Uh oh, what's this, this movie even throws in the "crazy nutter religious lady" that nobody would listen to even if somebody paid them. It should also be known that The Mist follows the other rules of todays horror films such as making the characters completely unlikable as well as unmemorable. It also doesn't lack on non-scary monsters, let the CGI commence! All in all a very forgetful movie that leaves me wondering if the writer and director even tried. Where's John Carpenter when you need him, please save me from these new and horrible films!
