The Mist

Fear changes everything.

When a small town in Maine is enshrouded in a mysterious mist, a group of people are trapped in a grocery store soon to be attacked by deadly creatures. Frank Darabont has a history of making good Stephen King adaptations and he’s not really to blame for this film’s shortcomings. He’s chosen a great, diverse cast with Marcia Gay Harden the standout as a fanatic who sees the mist as an excuse to start a cult. The tagline sums up the interesting theme, but too much here is ordinary and reminiscent of better horror stories.

2007-U.S. 125 min. Color. Written and directed by Frank Darabont. Novella: Stephen King. Cast: Thomas Jane (David Drayton), Marcia Gay Harden (Mrs. Carmody), Laurie Holden (Amanda Dunfrey), André Braugher, Toby Jones, William Sadler.
