If you wanted a B movie, this is the one.

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2007)

If The Mist is set out to be a serious horror movie, it fails miserably. There are so many inconsistencies, and general failure on the part of the characters, that it is funny. I couldn't help myself. I laughed throughout nearly the whole movie. Granted, a LOT of it is very dark humor, but there are simply far too many occasions where, if only the characters had THOUGHT about what they were doing, or maybe considered other options for a split second... they would have avoided a great deal of grief. You might have to be a little twisted to laugh as much as I did, hell maybe even very twisted. Personally, I got the sense that the only reason bad things kept happening to these characters is that they took absolutely NO steps to avert the situation, and usually ended up making the poorest choice the situation required. Makes for a funny movie in the end, I thought. A lot of people will find the ending devastating, but I say again... if only the characters had considered, other, more rational choices... or even paused to deliberate over their state, a lot of unhappiness could have been averted.
If they marketed this as a comedy/thriller, I would give it a 8.5, but they didn't, and it comes off as a VERY poor movie if taken seriously. That said, the creatures are damn cool.
