Very disappointing.

Rating: 4/10 (18 January 2009)

I had heard and read reviews of this film, most of which said how good it was and OOOOOOOOH!!! watch out for the ending, but I have to say how disappointing it was. It started out OK and I liked the cast but it very quickly descended into farce. For a start the things in the mist were pretty unconvincing and as soon as I saw them I knew the film wouldn't scare me. The reason for the mist was glossed over in a matter of seconds with a really unconvincing and pathetic explanation. Finally the ending was one of the cruelest things I have ever seen in a film. It was totally unnecessary, I would rather have seen them get eaten than that. I really wanted to like this film as I feel Frank Darabont is a huge talent but he fell short this time. Hopefully his next effort will be much better.
