Could have been a lot better!

Rating: 5/10 (11 September 2009)

A nice idea but far to many clichéd characters and set ups.
1. You have your handsome leading man and woman
2. You have your token black guy
3. Your religious nut job
4. Your cowardly self preservation guy
5. Your nerd
6. Your old man or woman or both
7. A useless person in authority (usually a sheriff but this time some soldiers).
Put them in a shopping mall in the mist and have them being attacked by monsters.
1. There's the scene where no one believes there are monsters, until someone dies.
2. There's the scene where the people that kiss end up dead.
3. There's the usual rescue a kid scene.
4. Your Simpson style panicky mob with pitch forks or butcher knifes killing someone scene.
5. The lets go out in do mortal danger to get some thing that will help one dying person and get a X amount of people dead in the process scene.
So why a 5 out of 10? because the twist in the end is very good. Expect a standard clichéd horror movie with a good end.
