Synopsis
Frank Darabont (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, THE GREEN MILE) serves as director, writer, and producer of THE MIST, an adaptation of Stephen King's classic novella. After a vicious storm wreaks havoc in their small town in Maine, artist David Drayton (Thomas Jane) heads out to the town supermarket for some much-needed supplies with his young son, Billy (Nathan Gamble), and his neighbour, Norton (Andre Braugher), in tow. Their trip soon turns to terror when a menacing white mist settles in, leaving this group of locals and out-of-towners fighting for survival against an unknown, bloodthirsty enemy. When the local religious zealot (Marcia Gay Harden) begins to convince the group that the mist is punishment from God, Drayton and his cohorts realize that they may be trapped inside with an enemy just as dangerous as whatever is lurking outside.


Tension runs high in this tale as the trapped group faces difficult moral decisions. Should they stay and wait out the terror, or make a break for it and risk suffering a terrible fate? Is the eerie mist the will of God, an experiment from the local military base gone awry, or, maybe, a freak natural disaster? Without modern conveniences and the normal conventions and rules to guide them, the group is easily swayed by the loudest opinion. Will they save themselves at the expense of each other, or work as a team to save everyone? There is a decent amount of blood and gore for horror fans, some deadpan humour and just a hint of politics thrown in for good measure. Thomas Jane is a stoic leading man, but Frances Sternhagen and Toby Jones are more fun as unlikely heroes. Laurie Holden, Alexa Davalos, Bill Sadler and Jeffrey Demunn also star in this creepy tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb horror film, truly awesome on Blu Ray!, 20 Sep 2008
By P. I. Daverson "Capt. Tuna" (Northampton,England,) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I won't provide a synopsis as there is already one provided on Amazon.
I got this on US import in a 2 disc edition which contains the original version and a black and white version of the film (Frank Darabont wanted to release it in black and white but the studio was not happy with this idea, "the kids" don't "get" black and white apparently!!)and I would definitely recommend tracking this edition down.The film itself is most definitely a homage to '50's and '60's monster B-movies, and does not take itself too seriously, but is obviously made with great care and love by Darabont. The effects are not top notch, but that really doesn't matter as you find yourself so engrossed in the panic of the characters and their interactions with each other.It has been said many times, but the ending is incredibly, devastatingly bleak, which is a very refreshing change.This is also the best adaptation of a Stephen King horror story since The Shining (which sounds like not much, but I digress). The superb camerawork looks quite astounding on hi def and is definitely worth shelling out the extra for. All in all, superb!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very solid horror movie, 1 Feb 2009
Frank Darabont has made yet another fine stab of turning a Stephen King short story into a film. Instead of going for cheap scares and excessive gore, the film focusses on the interaction between the characters and how they deal with their predicament. Thomas Jane makes for an engaging lead character and the supporting cast (many of whom appeared in Darabont's Shawshank Redemption) are great too.
Imagine Cloverfield, but with a top quality director, no hand held camera and a script. That's pretty much what you get here.
And the ending is extremely memorable.

3.0 out of 5 stars What's the hype all about???, 24 Jun 2009
By Andries J. Hough "Sunray" (Cape Town, South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I rely a lot on the reviews before I buy movies. But sadly, I could not agree with the favorable reviews of this title. A completely average movie and the Blu Ray quality is a complete let down once again. Sometimes no better than DVD. Rent it, dont buy. Unless you get the DVD for a bargain.
