I must have "Mist" something here...

Rating: 3/10 (11 April 2008)

Imagine you are stuck in the only American small town general store that does not sell firearms and ammo, and it is filled with the cast of a Canadian produced Sci-Fi channel B-movie on their lunch break. That's about all there is to this movie. Oh, except for the tagged on "Oh, crap! what have I done!" ending.
Typically, for most modern horror/science-fiction films, there is no imagination involved in this production. Tension between the clichéd characters is noticeably forced, the strategic choices made by this group of dunderheads would have a group of baboons howling with laughter, and you could find better monsters in the pages of old comic books like "Tales to Astonish". Come on, toothed tentacles, big hornets, pterodactyloids, spiders ( ...not spiders again, my god ), and a giant, long-legged, tentacled cow-something that walks around mooing like a foghorn. Why don't these guys try something new... like giant comb jellies or flying toasters.
At least the Sci-Fi channel has silly titles like "Mansquito" that are clear cues to lower your expectations and/or stock up on beer. I don't understand how this cornball stuff gets taken any more seriously than the film fodder used on MST3K. And, "No", it's not about the psychology of crowds - it's about marketing to clods.
