Had to take special time out of my day...

Rating: 5/10 (26 August 2014)

What an awesome concept! A mysterious mist full of deadly creatures falls upon a town in the middle of the day and locals take refuge in a grocery store. BUT!...if there is one thing that ruins a movie for me, it's incompetent characters. Incompetent how you ask? Simple life saving decisions are foiled by raw stupidity and the inability to move and complete survival tasks in a timely manner. I found myself yelling at my screen "JUST DO THIS" or "JUST DO THAT!" to no avail and with no cooperation from the actors. Which leads me to the conclusion that the incompetence actually stems from the director/producer. I'm sorry but it makes for a drastically more unrealistic experience when certain characters are left to tangent without anybody else speaking up to cut their insanity off, or when a common sense life saving decision is overlooked or performed with...well, no common sense. Actually you know what, I'm not sorry, but I also don't have low standards.
