What do you people call a horror movie?

Rating: 3/10 (25 April 2008)

I'm very disappointed. After reading the mostly glowing reviews of this flick I felt confident it wouldn't be a waste of my hard-earned money. Thanks for nothing! I was able to tolerate an excruciating 60 minutes before self-preservation took over and I stopped watching. It was like watching paint dry. Very ugly, very boring paint. Everything takes place in a supermarket which is filled with the regular cardboard characters you've seen in every small town setting. This would more correctly be called a suspense film; that is, if they had even done that right. In the hour I saw, the Mist-being was in partial view for maybe 3 minutes by a small portion of the building's inhabitants. The next 30 minutes saw these few people arguing with everyone else about whether they saw anything or not. Wow! That's some compelling pace, guys. My recommendation is not to waste your time. There is nothing in this film that you haven't seen in a dozen other, better movies.
