Not to be 'MIST' as a DVD rental

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2007)

This was a good sci-fi flick that had some pretty decent startles to it. The plot development was good and the relationship evolution of the 'stranded' town folk was a typical example of the "Lord of the Flies" syndrome. Parts of it are a bit slow but these parts are punctuated by scary jolts. I was intrigued by the premise, as it came to light, particularly because of what I've been reading about 'String Theory' as well as 'Dark Matter' at Wikipedia. Some aspects of the film kind of reminded me of "Eight Legged Freaks". If you have a phobia about bugs you might want to pass on this one. The acting was passable and the ending had a nice twist to it. I don't know that it was worth the $8.50 I paid to see it in the theater, but I definitely RECOMMEND it as a DVD rental, or wait 'till it comes to the budget theater.
