Although it's quite far-fetched, The Mist is a movie that won't allow you to take your eyes off of the screen. The people in the grocery store fear the beings in the mist, but they're also afraid of who they can trust among the citizens trapped. Teens that don't mind gore and are not grossed out by insects will be able to watch this.
14+ for creature violence and gore, disturbing images and terror, strong language, and some alcohol and cigarette use.
This movie is simply not for kids but I think that adults and teenagers will not be bored by any of the scary, violent, and obscene moments that happen throughout it.
You may have noticed how many negative points I gave it, and one positive. Well it’s true. This movie I feel is not so much about fear; it’s more about the horror inside human beings being fueled by fear. The people in this movie do a “Lord of the Flies”, turning from normal everyday people to savage, violent, monsters. The movie starts out after a storm. A father and his son go into town to buy some groceries, when a mysterious mist sweeps through, heavier than in Silent Hill (videogame). The movie was meant to be scary from the excessive gore. At one point, you see half of a severed body, and a person that still alive when insects burst from inside and start to eat him. I don’t think that’s what made the movie scary; I mean sure, being fourteen and seeing this gore wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for me. But what really made me terrified was the way the people acted in this movie and their choices. This yet again points to lord of the flies, take away civilized influence, (but in this case inject in fear in the mixture), and people fall apart, following anyone who promises salvation, no matter how insane they are. The ending also made my mouth drop open. M’ not going to tell you what it was, but it wasn’t “and they lived happily ever after”. I think this movie is worth watching at least once.
Movie is pretty good throughout except for the ending. kinda ruins it. except tells to never give up. pretty scary. the monsters are not, but there is one lady who makes a couple scenes pretty scary. at least for me. pretty bloddy. matters how your kids can take scry movies. i would say a mature 13 year old could see it and a less mature starting at about age 16
Great for kids 14+ up, make sure to point out the morals
This was a great film, I see that many of the reviews on this say that the ending was terrible, i would have to disagree. In the end a old couple a man and his son and girlfriend are escaping the city in their car only to run out of gas surrounded with monsters. Everyone believes that they are going to be killed slowly from the inside out as a man did earlier in the movie so he uses the four last bullets to kill (with consent) them. After killing his son and girlfriend he leaves the safety of his car to die at the hands of the monsters. Second later military vehicles roll past with soldiers.
The moral people of the story that many people have seamed to miss is to never give up, even if only thing that awaits you is death.
This is a pretty violent movie, but well made. Unlike many other movies in the genre, characters do not successfully work together to overcome the threat. They all turn against each other in fear and the problem is never actually solved. There's lots of blood, along with other nasty health complications. It's probably not good for anyone with a fear of spiders or dragonflies or squids or crazy religious ladies getting shot in the face.
The worst scene when it comes to violence is, in my opinion, when you see half a human body (the waist down) getting dragged along the ground. Pretty gruesome. The ending's cool, though nothing really gets solved.
You'll hate it if you have read the book, but if not, you'll love it
Strong graphic horror violence and very strong language, plus smoking and drinking. A man attempts suicide and kills his poor innocent son and other poeple. NOT FOR KIDS. Consumerism: will get kids interested in the book, which is for adults only.
loved it! awesome movie. I cannot believe the rating. i had my kids write what they think of the movie:
I relly liked this movi! it was funny when the dad kiled everyone! I liked the part when it shoed the botom part of the dead guy. loved it!
not scary, but bloody and has a lot of bad language. it was an ok movie but the ending was soooooooo stupid and the people in it have no common sense, but overall if your not scared easily than go ahead.
this movie contains strong violence, language, terror, gore and disturbing images of the creatures that may scare some. i love this film. probaly one of the best horror films and stephan king adaptions ever. thomas jane is great in this film. he is brave, heroic, and emotional. i am surprised he did not get a oscar. the special effects are great, the monsters are nicely done and are not fake looking. the ending is very upsetting and shocking but thats horror. overall 4 out of 4 stars. i love this film.
This movie was pretty violent, and bloody. Couple of disturbing scenes with some creepy imagery. Language includes f**k, p***y, a**, h**l, c**k, and d**n. Overall it was all right, but there is many better monster movies out there to watch. I would recommend Cloverfield, which has less violence/blood and language.
