One of the bestest horror films I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2008)

The Mist was among one of the last films I saw on DVD. I was intending on seeing it in the cinemas but I didn't have time to see it. However, I shocked with the tension in the film (positive say). I had my hand over my mouth. I was shocked.
CHARACTERS: The characters were among the great things in the film. Marcia Gay Harden's performance as the scary Mrs. Carmody was terrifying and comes in second as the most terrifying character in a horror movie besides Annie Wilkies. I was very impressed and I really felt like shooting her myself. SUSPENSE: Well, I would call The Mist, a supernatural horror-thriller. The tension comes in quick and keeps it at a high level throughout the entire film. SPECIAL EFFECTS: I'm not sure if Darabont used CGI or puppetry, he could've used both but the creatures sent tingles up my spine. BEGINNING: The good thing with The Mist is that it gives all the characters, a quick introductions then throwing them into the situation. MIDDLE: Tensions are at a high during the whole course of the film and I was kept getting stomach pains (weird, I know). The gore was at a perfect level. ENDING: This is one of the most shocking twist endings I've ever seen. I walked out of the cinema horrified. Compared to what was seen throughout the film, this was the horror of all of the film. DIRECTOR: Frank Darabont is great. He shows true character emotions with various camera movements and angles. He has some talent. DIALOGUE: With more focus on the action and horror, the dialogue gives it an extra boost. The dialogue is simple and smart.
The Mist is one of the greatest films I've seen. I'm not a fan of horror films but I had the urge to see it and I was amazed. The true marking that gives The Mist an extra kick is because it is quick, it runs two hours, it gives at least 15 minutes introducing the characters and then it is pure suspense until the credits.
The Mist deserves a full... ***** out of *****
