This was just awful...

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2008)

I'll get to the point, shall I? This was, by far, the worst movie I have ever seen. When I looked on IMDb after watching "The Mist" I was utterly speechless when I saw that it received a very high rating. The story-line was terrible, the mist appeared without any real explanation and disappeared just as erratically. The "monsters" were just plain ridiculous looking, and most of the dialogue was farcical. The reasons for me giving such a generous rating as two stars are that there was some very good acting from some of the cast, particularly from Nathan Gamble and Marcia Gay Harden. Also, there were some highly entertaining scenes, most of which included the religious fanatic played by Marcia Gay Harden. But, as a whole, this was a monstrosity, and a debacle of modern day cinema.
