"The Mist," based on the Stephen King short story book was said to be terrible by a customer at Carmike Cinemas Southland 9 Sunday night. He said that it may be even worse than the 2005 movie "The Fog."
Many other people think differently about "The Mist" though.
Rottentomatoes.com says that "68 percent of the people who reviewed this movie would recommend it to another person, and it is fresh." So more than half of the people that saw this movie, enjoyed it. Maybe it was the surprise ending that the gentleman did not like at the theater.
This movie adaptation holds true to the original story.
It is about a storm that blows in blood-thirsty creatures in a mist, so the towns people cannot see them. People from the town that are shopping in a grocery store while the mist comes in, barricade themselves in the store to save their lives from these monsters.
The special effects were also very well done. The monsters, the blood and the mist itself were all threatening and made the audience watch inattentively waiting for the next person to die or to find out what or who is doing this to the small town.
Thomas Jane played the lead well except for the very beginning because some of those lines seemed a bit forced out of him. Overall, the acting was great by the entire cast. That's more than I can about some other films I have seen recently.
This is an "R" rated feature. It is intended for those mature enough to handle blood and gore. Remember, this is a horror movie.
