Hugely underrated Film

I've read through a lot of these comments regarding the Mist and I am baffled as to what people actually want from a movie. The movie bombed in the US and, it seems, most of the negative reviews on here are... Full review
It seems that Frank Darabont can do no wrong when faced with bringing Stephen King novels to the big screen. He masterfully directed The Green Mile as well as one of the greatest movies, if not the greatest -opinion of... Full review

I wish I had the words to tell you how bad... I read the story in the 80's and enjoyed it. I told my friends that this movie was going to be great. I left feeling like I owed them... Full review

I was very impressed by this adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Mist'. I have been a fan of the story since it came out and have played the text game and have heard the 3-D audio version of it. This... Full review
A Spectacular Scarefest

Jonny_Numb - imdb.com
While the cast and crew of "The Mist" will herald the Weinstein Brothers at press junkets and the like, the producing duo has made 2007's most refreshingly original horror films ("Grindhouse," "Halloween") sacrificial lambs to fright-unfriendly weekends (there's a good... Full review

Let me take a breath... Never have I had such a visceral physical reaction to a film... ever. Not even with Elem Klimov's Come and See. In the last fifteen minutes I was nearly physically paralyzed, and then started shaking,... Full review

I always say to people that Frank Darabont is the only man who can truly make a great Stephen King adaptation. I'm not so sure I have the credentials to state that as fact, but I do anyways. I love... Full review
"The Mist" is worth watching!

Groovespeed - imdb.com
I've been a member of IMDb for many years now and rarely do I take the time to comment on a film. In addition, I watch, on average, about 10-15 films a month, split among all genres including horror. Lately... Full review

Ain't It Cool Movie Reviews
But somehow this weird combination of elements makes up a pretty good little movie, and possibly the best ever directed by one of the Punishers.....I was prepared to roll with the punches and I don't think "figuring it out" kills a good movie....So I like the movie's look, sound....dynamic shots, alot of momentum to the editing, vivid imagery with their faces lit by the light on his dashboard, contrasted against dark desert sky..... ...

Go see The Mist, just for Marcia's amazing, chillingly accurate portrayal: by the sheer volume of spewed babble, she overcomes rational thought and appeals to the worst instincts of mankind. The filmmakers really sock it to 'em fundamentalists with this character, whose fire and brimstone approach attracts the weakest, most frightened of the congreg ... ... Full Review

Killer Movie Reviews
Darabont cleverly builds suspense by at first keeping what it is exactly outside the grocery store cloaked in the mist that brought it. Braugher is prickly and ego-driven, exactly the type that would sneer at something he doesn't fit in with his world view. ... Full Review

ABOVE: The Mist Superb special effects create nightmarish alien creatures to haunt your dreams in a superior shocker that will freeze your blood - and once again proves that Stephen King is the true King of Horror. THOMAS Jane's day begins badly when he takes his young son shopping and they, along with dozens of others, become trapped in a supermarket after a sinister fog suddenly rolls in. ... Full Review
