Product Description
Genius Prod. The Mist (Blu-ray)Writer-director Frank Darabont, who showcased the softer side of Stephen King in his film adaptations of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, turns to darker material forThe Mist, his latest King adaptation about a group of ordinary townspeople trapped in a supermarketby a mysterious fogbank. Thomas Jane is top-billed as a Maine illustrator who attempts to calm the frightened shoppers, but his job is cut out for him from the get-go, first by the discovery of malevolent creatures lurking in the mist, and then by the mad mutterings of Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden), a local eccentric who calls for Old Testament-style sacrifices to appease the supernatural forces. Darabont delivers monster movie thrills and understated social commentary with equal skill, and he's well supported by his cast (which includes Andre Braugher, Toby Jones, William Sadler and Jeffrey DeMunn) and the vivid special effects by KNB EFX, which effectively mix CGI with models and stop-motion animation (the terrific monsters were designed by legendary comic book artist Bernie Wrightson). And for those curious about how the novella's downbeat ending has translated to film, suffice itto say that Darabont's conclusion is at once different and more unsettling than King's.

 Excellent adaptation from the Novel by Stephen King February 8, 2010
Carlos Moreno (FL USA)
I won't get into too many details here, the adaptation is good and I was pleased with the film in total. It is very claustrophobic ala "Night of the Living Dead" replacing the farm house by a supermarket, full on glass in the front. Mist manages the suspense and the tension that increases to final climax at the end. I really recommend Mist for all completists of good SCI-FI genre and Stephen King adaptations. Acting is superb and visual effects are decent. The plot is what keeps you there wanting for more, and the final twist is unexpected. Go buy it and own it now.
Stay out of the mist.... February 7, 2010
Ron Ebner (Kingman, AZ USA)
That's right! When the mist rolls in--any mist--you better stay indoors and hide in the closet because you don't know what's out there! When a military experiment goes horribly wrong, some of the residents of a small, Maine town are trapped in a supermarket and ultimately have to defend themselves from monstrous creatures or die. Yet one by one they do die until one man takes his small son and four other people into his SUV and makes a wild attempt to flee. As a writer and a habitual viewer of the macabre I preferred Stephen King's ending in his novella but like the movie ending or not you will be glued to the edge of your seat at the suspense, the horror and the excellent special effects. The Winds of Hell
Excellent February 6, 2010
Margot (Erie, PA United States)
Just wanted to cast my 5-star vote for this excellent movie. I'm no conossoiur, but I enjoyed it thoroughly; my mouth was agape several times from pure shock at the story twists.
Stephen King has definitely overcome his problem with crappy endings (I'm thinking mainly of the giant spider in "It") - The Mist has probably the best (surprise) ending I've seen, which pushes "Birdy" (Matthew Modine, Nicholas Cage) out of the #1 spot for "best endings in a movie" of all time. ;)
Also note: I watched the DVD over a month after I bought it...and it froze up repeatedly throughout the movie. The return period had elapsed, so I had to keep it. A year later (same DVD player) I watched it and was pleased and shocked that I had no issues. Glad I never fired off that angry letter to the manufacturer.
One of Stephen King's better adaptations February 1, 2010
Albert F. Yuen
I loved this movie! After his yawner "Rose Red", I wasn't expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. Marcia Gay Hayden did a great job playing the crazy christian nutter. Politics, giant insects, tribalism, and the dangers of religion... It's all in this movie!
Hell on earth January 22, 2010
I. Agoreyo
This movie is THE BEST horror movie i've seen yet, the descent and silent hill, two of the best i've seen, dont even come close. Just imagine hell on earth, where things get so bad that the "supposed and only" way out was stirring down the barrel of a revolver. It reminds and teaches a lesson that no matter how "hellish" life may be, we should fight for it. If you're a horror/suspense/thriller movie fan, DO NOT MISS THIS.
