A "horror" movie rife with cringe

Rating: 3/10 (10 March 2018)

I honestly don't know why this movie has good ratings. This movie is filled with poorly written characters, bad acting, and moments that will make you literally laugh out loud because of the ridiculousness.
SPOILERS BELOW
First, Drayton as a character is beyond illogical. He constantly and repeatedly abandons his only child in order to play the hero. He willingly gives his child over to absolute and complete strangers. Towards the end we get a half hearted "sorry" from him but they idea that a father would abandon their child constantly when in a disaster scenario is ridiculous unless Drayton is a sociopathic character. He also never seems to care at all about his wife who is all alone. He makes a break for her at the end but that's the first we see him care about her.
There is little to no support for the reactions of the characters. They all decide that the mist is evil and shouldn't be entered well before anything bad happens to prove that they shouldn't enter. Basically a bunch of shoppers just freak out over some fog. They happen to be correct but until multiple bodies pilled up, any normal human would not react how they did.
Most of the characters break out in rash and illogicao anger to manufacture drama. Maybe the book is good but don't waste your time with this film. Incredibly poorly written and a laughable "horror" movie
