4.0 out of 5 stars Very atmospheric and a very decent adaption, 16 May 2008

By	KM (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Mist [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

`The Mist' is the movie adaption of the Stephen King novella of the same name and is directed by Frank Darabont, who also directed two of the best King adaptations - The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

The story begins when thick fog covers a small town in Maine (and maybe beyond) following a violent storm the night before. David and his son Billy head to the local supermarket to get some things to repair the damage to the house and are then trapped in the store with other shoppers as strange creatures from the mist are killing anyone who steps outside for too long.

I read the novella late last year and absolutely loved it, so couldn't wait to see this adaption. Also, as the film is from Darabont who did two of my favourite films of all time (King adaption or otherwise) I had very high expectations for this film. Fortunately, this film is a very good adaption and is definitely one of the best Stephen King films I've ever seen. The film captures the excitement and fear from the book perfectly and is very claustrophobic and dark. It's also pretty gory with some really good special effects. The creatures look good and are some of the better CGI monsters I've seen in recent years. Although they aren't too scary they look and move very realistically and are exactly as I'd pictured them looking when reading the book.

Acting all round, especially from Thomas Jane (who plays David), is excellent and the terror and confusion that they are all feeling comes across as very believable. Another particularly impressive performance is from Marcia Gay Harden who plays the deranged Mrs Carmody, who I guarantee you will hate when watching this film (the character, that is).

The one thing I didn't like about the book was that there was no real ending, leaving the reader guessing what happens next. In this movie it does have a proper ending and it will come as quite a shock whether you have read the book or not. Personally, I didn't actually like how it ended as it didn't feel like a Stephen King ending (you'll know what I mean when you see it) but it is still a lot better than how the book ended.

The picture and sound quality is very impressive on this DVD and the special features aren't bad either with a black and white version of the film, which is exactly the same as the original version but adds to the classic sci-fi/horror feel to the film, and some behind the scenes featurettes and a few trailers.

Overall this is a very impressive adaption that anyone who has read the book will appreciate and should enjoy. If you're unfamiliar with the Stephen King style of books and films you may find this a bit weird, but generally it is a very enjoyable and exiting film that most fans of the sci-fi and horror genres should like. If you have enjoyed films like War of the Worlds (both versions), The Fog, Silent Hill or any other of the many Stephen King films, I recommend this to you. Strangely this is only on Region 1 DVD at the moment, but it is definitely worth importing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Region 2 Please, 22 May 2008

By	David Redfearn (Worksop, Nottinghamshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Mist [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

This film starts awkwardly but has a shocking double whammy ending. It is many years since I was genuinely affected by a film but I was thinking about this one for days after - when is this going to get released over here ? For some starnge reason its now on Region 1 dvd but it hasn't even had a cinema release over here !! Sort it out !

4.0 out of 5 stars Bang On Adaptation, 8 May 2008

By	Mr. R. J. Tomlin (Milton Keynes, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Mist [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

The Mist was always one of my fav Stephen King short stories. The movie is accurate in every way, but also expands some of the characters, as well as the surprise ending, which has King's own vindication in the making of feature.
There are some poor reviews on here, but I think they are somewhat unjust. The root of the story is, that given the right conditions, the human race can become bigger monsters than any they might face, and it is a story of human frailty when confronted with certain situations. It is as much about that than just a horror. So if you're watching it as a pure horror, then you might miss this.
I found the film compelling, and considering the short story's length, a very good watch, though of course SK fans will love it more than the mainstream.
