Stephen King's The Mist: Synopsis

Three-time Oscar®-nominee Frank Darabont ("The Green Mile," "The Shawshank Redemption") reunites with horror-master Stephen King to write and direct this chilling adaptation of the author's original short story. Following a violent thunderstorm, artist David Drayton and a small town community come under vicious attack from creatures prowling in a thick and unnatural mist. Local rumors point to an experiment called the 'The Arrowhead Project' conducted at a nearby top-secret military base, but questions as to the origins of the deadly vapor are secondary to the group's overall chances for survival. Retreating to a local supermarket, Drayton and the survivors must face-off against each other before taking a united stand against an enemy they cannot even see!

    The movie was ok. Nothing special. The ending did exactly what it was supposed to do. Make people talk about the movie and about what they would do in THAT situation. The fact that it was a somber ending is probably what kept the movie from making more money. Fighting monsters in a Mist trying to keep your family alive is what Sci-Fi movies are all about.

    come on 'vipor1988', although most people that are reading these comments would have already watched the movie, I'm sure there are some that are yet to and would not appreciate you giving away the ending.

    i'm not saying that you shouldn't say what you wish but at least put a forewarning on your comment

    Sorry if this message sounds aggressive in anyway as this is by no means my intention

    i liked the movie a lot, but i also agree the acting could have been a lot better, and the gore was awesome as hell, but for me the ending was incredibly sad and depressing, if he just waited a little bit longer he could have kept his son and new-found friends.

    This movie never got a great release in Australia but i managed to see it and thoroughly enjoyed it.
    It was very different to the common horror movie in that it had characters with depth, sub-plots and a story that truly captured me rather than relying purely on visual effects.
    No one will see the end coming - one that is tragic to the point that i am sure Stephen King and Shakespeare would have gotten along well!
    I hope great Stephen King film adaptations such as this continue to be made as to me they are the best horror / thriller films - did anyone else HATE 'one missed call'??? (another film that -thank god- didn't receive a big cinema release)

    the movie itself was alright...casting could be questioned..but they did a decent job. marcia gay harden's character was so damn annoying...i was glad to see go..(sorry for spoiler, if any)i have to say, though, the ending was the biggest surprise i've seen on film in a long time...up there with...usual suspects, primal fear...it was sad but great..took away the "happy ending" that was expected! good popcorn movie..

    I've got two sons, couldn't imagine being put in that situation at the end of the movie. Expect for the ending it wasn't that bad.

    I was sad for the guy at the end, if he had waiting like 5 mins longer he wouldn't of had to do that. But it was an ok movie.

    I liked it good ending and sad too. But I don't know why Stephen Kings movies are so long. It's almost like the movie "It".

    KainofNosgot, The fog ripped off The Mist, if any horror film was bad, i'd say the fog remake
