Great proper horror movie

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2009)

I thought this was a great horror movie and very worthy of it's 7+ overall score. As a fan of the more traditional horror genre, not the gore-fest teen movies that have seemingly replaced it, this fitted the bill perfectly. It was scary, funny, gloomy and shocking in equal measures. Specifically, I was left shocked by the ending and took a good couple of hours (and cigarettes) to come back down. I understand that everyone's opinions differ on movies, that's why we watch them. But I feel sorry for those crying 'poor CGI' or 'not enough info about the monsters'. Fear not, some low-life will probably pick up the baton soon and do a prequel for you that explains everything. Either that, or you could grow an imagination. So, if you fancy a scary night watching a movie that could have been made late 70s, early 80s, and you've not seen 'The Mist', give it a whirl.
