Typical CGI-monster flick

Rating: 3/10 (21 April 2008)

Typical CGI-monster-movie. When almost every horror movie has these screaming and 'oh-so-scary' monsters made with computer - it makes me miss those good old 'man-in-the-rubber-suite' monsters - they had at least some personality! Creature from Black Lagoon is much more scarier than these funny spider from the Mist.
The Mist also tried to depict human drama in closed environment - didn't succeed. Better films in that category are Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Dawn of the Dead (2004) just as examples. Biggest problem was the bad script and too much mundane monster FX.
The Mist is very much like the Fog (1980) - only difference is that the Fog had better monsters - zombie-lepers!!! - and of cause Rob Bottin as the main creeper.
