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.

the special effects in the movie were cheesy but its a very fun movie for teens to watch with friends

WTF?!? Lol, JK. But seriously, the ending sucked.

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.

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 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.

i thought that overall the Mist was a pretty good movie. It was well, written and, for the most part, well acted. I thought that the ending, although extremely upsetting, was very creative on Stephen kings part. I plan on reading the mist now that i've seen the movie. i think this movie is fine for anyone over 15.

When it first came out in late 2007, The Mist divided critics and audiences alike as no horror movie has ever done before, or may ever even do again. Some critics thought that it was the influential horror masterpiece that fans had been searching virtually there whole entire lives for. Others thought that it was a almost shockingly bad movie, with laughably bad special effects and some of the most crude acting that you may ever see in a mainstream horror movie (think about that for a minute, will you). Unfortunately, I am part of the latter. I say unfortunately, because I am actually a very big fan of Stephen King, who has given us some of the greatest horror stories, ever. So, who else better to bring this Stephen King novel to the big screen, than Mr. Frank Darabont, the man who directed King's very own The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile? Well, just one problem, both of those were dramas. Now, despite the fact that after this movie, Darabont would finally tie hid shoes and make a really, really great show called the Walking Dead, but, first, he would make this schlock. Know, as I was previously complaining about, what makes this movie so bad is that, on just a thriller level, the movie actually does have some merit. For the first half of the movie, the tension is packed, taut and the characters tension keeps the mood to a good ol' uneasy feeling. But, once the monster appear and start raising hell, we get nothing but some of the very worst special effects that I have ever seen in a mainstream movie, period. Also, adding to the chaos, is some increasingly unsubtle and just plain painfully over-the-top acting by the great actress, Marcia Gay Harden. Also, the ending that so many people claim to be one of the most shocking ever, is actually really funny in a ironic and disturbing movie, so I am pretty much just laughing at the movie, not along with it. So, there is plenty of well-deserved R Rated content, here: There is extremely frequent, extremely gruesome and very, very bloody monster violence and gore, which includes but is not limited to images of mutilation, facial explosion (Yup. You read that right), dismemberment and more. Also, there is some moderate profanity as well, including f--k, sh-t, cr-p, fr-gg-ng, h--l and more. So, if you are one of the many horror fans who had been suckered into watching this piece of sh*t, by other people who claim this to be a influential masterpiece, than spread the word, and tell everybody who hasn't seen it yet, or who wan'ts to see it, what it really is. P.S., sorry to be so negative, but it's just my opinion.
