In a stellar cast led by Thomas Jane with the outstanding Marcia Gay Hardin in one of her best, albeit horrible portrayals, others here bring people to life we all know and perhaps are in our own lives. As The Mist moves into town, these folks are trapped in a grocery store - a brilliant location for the setting of a couple days in a horror film - all kinds of personality comes to light and all kinds of ways to face down the demons, both inside and out of each person. As things grow worse our band of merry humans must decide how they'll deal with the death waiting outside and the growing panic within. NO SPOILERS here, the ending is pure King and if you've made it this far in the film, it'll leave you considering your own life and others and what you would do in ways that are thought provoking and fear inducing. But brilliant.
I am not the kind of fan of "horror" that likes the blood and gore kind of stuff. I'll watch it, but I much prefer the intelligence of thought provoking. I feel its grip can be far more intense and far deeper than "simply giving us blood and gore." That's not to say I won't watch that kind... and there is some solid gore here, don't worry. It's that I like the observations around thoughtful horror - it's far scarier and more real.
This is a great date night movie, rainy afternoon, or even that scare-you-to-death fun of horror. The Mist is pure King at his and it's finest.
It was a good movie until the end. It has one of the worst endings in the history of movie endings. If bad endings ruin a movie for you, this will make you feel like you wasted not only the last two hours of your life, but also the rest of your day as you anguish over the ending. And then you'll be dying to tell people how horrible the ending is, but you know you shouldn't, because either that will make them not watch the movie, or ruin the shock and horror that you want them to feel at the end because you hate them.
Four stars though because it's a cool movie and I don't want to do it dirty since the terrible ending was on purpose.
For those of you who haven't read the novella or seen the movie, the story deals with a large group of people who find themselves trapped inside a local grocery store when a heavy mist drifts in from the surrounding woodlands, enveloping the entire Maine town and bringing with it an array of dangerous and hungry creatures in search of some subsistence. It's not important how the mist came to be, though the film points to a military experiment gone wrong with the creatures entering our world from another dimension. What's really unusual about this story isn't so much the danger that awaiting patiently outside the grocery store, but rather the danger that's inside the place. As the tale progresses and the fear for their lives intensifies, the trapped people quickly split into two distinct camps with one being led by a religious zealot and the other by a sensible everyday man who simply wants to get himself and his young son back to safety. The underlying current here is how swiftly the thin veneer of civilization can slip away when human beings are trapped and filled with an increasing fear for their lives with nowhere to turn. The rest of the story deals with what happens inside the store, especially when some the jaw-smacking creatures breach the defenses that have been placed to keep them out. The good citizens of the store prove to be infinitely more frightening than the strange things outside in the mist.
I have to be honest and say that I was disappointed in the film when I first saw it in the theater. I certainly didn't like the ending and the lack of hope it represented to me. When the DVD set came out, I purchased it for my film library and decided to watch the movie a second time. This proved to be a good thing because I found myself enjoying the film a lot more the second time around and could see how well made it actually was. I still had problems with the finale because it was like everyone you cared about gave up at the end, not wanting to be food for the creatures hidden within the mist. The ending to Stephen King's novella was completely different, but he's publicly stated that if he'd come up with Darabont's ending when originally writing the story, he'd gone with it. Certainly the ending has provoked a great deal of controversy with the fans. I think it's also strange that I liked the more realistic ending of the Director's Cut of 1408, but didn't enjoy it here. Still, the movie's very entertaining with a number of scenes that will have you jumping in your seat. It's fast pace with extremely good acting by Thomas Jane, Academy Award Winner Marcia Gay Harden, Toby Jones (who played Truman Capote the year before), Laurie Holden, the always fabulous Jeffrey DeMunn (The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption, and Hollywoodland), and Andre Braugher (who was in the remake of Salem's Lot for television).
As I wrote earlier, the Two-Disc Collector's Edition has the movie in both color and black and white formats. There's a commentary by Frank Darabont, which is always fun to listen to, and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie and the creation of many of its special effects. This is definitely a movie that all horror buffs should have in their film library. I'm certainly glad that I bought the DVD set and gave the movie another chance.
