I loved The Mist, the ending still has me screaming!

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2007)

I saw the trailer for The Mist a while back, I thought it was just going to be a rip off of John Carpenter's The Fog, but after hearing some great reviews on IMDb, I got excited and my boyfriend and I decided to see it tonite. The beginning was starting off pretty slow, so I was thinking that this was going to be an average thriller, but about twenty minutes into the film, things really pick up. Things get scarier, more intense, The Mist had my digging my fingernails into my boyfriend's arm. I don't think we've had a better Sci-Fi film in a long time. I was thinking about how much this movie kind of reminded me of "Night of the Living Dead", where everyone gets so scared and tense that they quickly turn on each other. It had a very similar ending, it just had me screaming. I can't give the ending away, but believe me, this is a movie not to be missed.
In a small town, David, his son, and his wife have just been through a horrible storm. David and his son the next day decide to go to the grocery store, where everyone is a buzz of the horrifying storm. But something even worse happens, a man comes screaming across the street, begging them to close the doors, he has blood on his face, he's screaming how his friend was just killed by a mysterious mist. The mist has now surrounded the grocery store. After trying to figure out a way to save the food, a bag boy is killed by a vicious creature in the mist, the group now knows how serious this is. But things are getting worse with the local religious nut, Mrs. Carmody, she's turning this situation from horrifying to savage and turning everyone against another. But David along with a group full of people know that it's now or never.
The Mist is one of the most horrific movies I have ever seen. It had me jumping every second and shaking, the great thing was that it wasn't a movie that had things or loud noise jump out at you, it was so natural, the whole setting and story just gets under your skin. A big round of applause towards the actress who played Mrs. Carmody, I couldn't believe how much I just wanted to jump into the screen and just kill her, but she was that convincing, she gets to you. Everyone did a fantastic job in this film, it's truly horrifying and will get to you. The scene where they find out about the marine knowing something about the monsters outside was one of the most intense scenes that I have seen this year in film. I promise you, this movie is going to be in the Sci-Fi classics for generations to come.
9/10
