A modern classic

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2008)

In The Mist a thick layer of mist descends on a small town trapping some locals in a large food store. They quickly find out that there are monsters lurking in the mist and as always with survival horror the humans turn out to be just as dangerous as the creatures outside.
The Mist is a simple story but it's told really well and even pulls out a surprising and thought provoking ending. This is the kind of horror movie they used to make before they realised most teens will sit and watch just about anything and a few blaring noises will make a cheap substitute for real scares.
I really loved this movie, it's not really scary but the characters are interesting and the different monsters they encounter are great. One of the best horror movies I've seen in a really long time.
