Not at all bad!

Rating: 8/10 (20 February 2008)

First of all: I love films, I watch as many as I can and it's one of my biggest interests. My taste in movies range from heavy dramas to cheap horror B-flicks.
Second: I read the short novel for The Mist when I was 13 I think and I never forgot about it. There was something really chilling in that part in the beginning with the man shouting "There is something in the mist!". Without even knowing it I had anxiously awaited the film version of it. My friend had come over a cam-recorded pirate and I was like: Hell NO! I have to see it on the big screen! So, finally there's a movie I'm dying to see, but there is no opening date for Sweden as far as I'm concerned... why? It seems this movie will be a straight-to-DVD release in Sweden...
Anyway, after reading the reviews here on IMDb i was intrigued on how it divides people, those ho hated it and those who loved it. And I knew right then and there I had to watch it! I had to make my own decision. So I watched the cam-pirate... And I loved it! I was really into the movie and I thought the creatures looked and felt real and I think it has all the chills of the novel. And the ending? I did NOT see it coming. I was actually shocked. It was GREAT! This is a fine horror film which sadly many will miss, I don't think its marketed well enough. Hopefully it will have it's revenge on DVD.
Mind you, had I seen this in a proper cinema, my rating would be higher...
