The Mist

On one boring night in Virginia it was the same old day snuggling and watching some random movie until I had to go to sleep. That’s when my parents suggested we watch THE MIST. My ears instantly perked up and I asked “Well what’s it about?”. They then told me it was a movie based off of a Stephen King novel. When I heard those words I knew I was in for a good scare. This is truly an amazing Stephen King book turned movie. If you are a huge fan of monsters then this movie is for you because it’s full to the brim with them. Although the plot is clunky and unrealistic in some ways, I say it makes for a great movie that will send chills down your spine. This movie’s ending is so sad for it has a reputation of having the saddest ending in movie history. Not only are the kills supernatural but they’re also self inflicted and results of murder.

The Mist is a 2007 horror film directed by Frank Darabont and starring Thomas Jane and Marcia Gay Harden. Language(3/5): The film has 14 uses of “f**k”, 4 uses of “s**t”, 3 uses of “wh*re” and 1 use of “c**ksucker”, “pu**y”, “a**hole”, “Chr**t”, “son of a b**ch”, “G**”, “a**”, "piss" and “hell”. The film has 30 total curses. Sex, Romance and Nudity(1/5): A kiss is shown, and a woman’s cleavage is somewhat visible in a few scenes. Drinking, Drugs and Smoking(3/5): A woman commits suicide by overdosing on an unspecified pill. People drink alcohol, and men get drunk out of fear. A man smokes a cigarette. Violence(5/5): A man is violently pulled out of a door. Several people commit suicide. Violence is bloody and intense. Tentacles of monsters are seen. A man is cut in half, with gore staining the floor as he’s dragged away. A bloodied man talks to a child and causes the child to go into shock and cry. The worst part is the ending, which is very depressing and bleak. (SPOILER ALERT) A man shoots several people and his own son inside of a car to put them out of their misery before the monsters kill them; we see blood staining the windows of the car with gun shots being heard and seen. The man tries to turn the gun on himself, but the gun is out of bullets and he screams in anguish. He steps outside and finds the military killing the monsters, discovering that the people he killed would’ve been saved if he waited longer. The man screams at the sky in grief and guilt. (SPOILERS OVER) Positive Messages: The film challenges how people react to terror. Positive Role Models and Representations(1/5): Some people try to rise up as courageous individuals. Watching Experience: Quality(opinionated): (My rating) Rated R For violent disturbing images and some language.

This movie was great, coming from a middle-schooler. I personally love graphic and gorey movies, and this one was fun and exciting. If you enjoyed this, I recommend the book if you are a reader. Not for the faint of heart, it includes many revolting and upsetting scenes.

It's really good and my favorite movie it just has A LOT of scary/disturbing imagery and gore and language. Man is bursted from the inside by lots of baby spiders. Mans leg cut open by acid strand of web. (Bloody and excrutiating) Man's flesh from neck torn by a giant bird, graphically. Man punched in face. Entrails seen spilled from half a corpse. Woman shot in chest, then in head. (Bloody) Tentacle rips flesh from man's leg and then from his chest. EXTREMELY GRAPHIC AND BLOODY. Woman is stung by an insect causing her to become swollen up and die, horrifically. Man stabbed. Man accidentally sets himself on fire, becomes charred. 3 suicides. (2 by hangings, 1 by overdose) Implied that man shoots his child and 3 other people. VERY DISTURBING. People are eaten by monsters. People are seen cocooned in webs. Lots of persuasive language. Best for 17+ only.

This is a fine horror film the will entertain you. Be aware that there is some brief strong gore. And plenty of language. I will also give this a content warning because the end had some triggering themes, and is possibly the bleakest in film history, up there with Pans Laberinth. In short this is a mostly fun horror film that I would recommend for any fans of the genre.

Bleak, depressing, gory, amazing.

The mist has a lot of violence and has people turning on each other with sacrifices and suicide, as well as one of the saddest ending's in a movie.

scary. not for kids.

Amazing movie but the ending was awful and had me awake all night I’m not gonna spoil it but the ending is 17+ It has a great message about humans being the problem
