With all due respect to Stephen King and Frank Darabond, military experiments as a cause for science fictioned creatures is yawningly unoriginal. But go see The Mist, just for Marcia Gay Harden's amazing, chillingly accurate portrayal
Top Critic
For the most part Darabont has adapted the work exactly as one would've hoped, though the last five minutes leave much to be desired
Top Critic
Acerta ao compreender a natureza do texto original, que empregava o terror como uma mera ferramenta para analisar o comportamento de seus personagens e os dilemas morais e religiosos que os impelem uns contra os outros.
Somewhere along the way, [director Frank] Darabont just got lost in the fog, and he never found his way out.
Top Critic
Unusually dark and gritty, with ace B-movie writing and direction from Darabont and a collection of full-on performances from a gifted cast.
Like Shyamalan's Signs but without the salvationist coda, The Mist is a bleak look at what happens when faith, hope and charity have all got lost in the fog.
Wait until you see the end of this film! It was one of the most horrific endings I have ever seen.
'The Mist is a classic monster movie turned morality play, and for a while it works on both counts.

Top Critic
Both a gory monster movie and a Twilight Zone-styled morality play on mob mentality and religion run amok. [DVD review]
A great achievement in many ways, Darabont's biggest misstep is his final submission to the road more traveled.
A horde of plus size nuclear bugs stops by to shoplift and chow down on some take-out humans, favoring their homo sapien dinner fare feisty and playing hard to get, and never bothering to stop at the cash register.
Whereas King's short story ends ambiguously, Darabont has fashioned a denouement that just may be the most nihilistic I have ever witnessed in a film.
Wow, TWO good movies based on Stephen King stories in the same year? You bet. As entertaining as 1408? Not quite.
