The Mist
Great creatures, nice special effects, some good acting, and great direction by Frank Darabont. Two problems hurt the film: 1. It was, at times, too slow. I didn't mind it too much since I was into the dialogue. 2. The mix of being both a serious horror film about people trapped and in danger for their lives and the mix of it being a B-movie didn't work out so well. Sure, the creatures looked great, and were pretty freaky. But, it was hard to take the film seriously from that standpoint. I was, more and less, hoping that the creatures would stay in the background. I wanted to have the feeling that you had to use your imagination, instead of just flat out seeing the creatures in the mist. The novella was better, but that comes as no surprise. Still some fun to be had with this movie, if you give it a chance.
3.5/5
