The Mist email this discussion to a friend?

leafygreens08 (99)   ranked 1,231 out of 7,930 in watching movies3 months ago

I just saw The Mist and I must say that this movie is now my favorite Stephen King movie, beating my previous favorites: Secret Window and Pet Semetary. When I first saw this film being advertised the first thing I thought was that it was some remake of The Fog so I didn't try to see it.

Now that its available on DVD I was able to talk to the Blockbuster Rep and he convinced me that it was a great movie and story and that I would not regret.

He was right. It was GREAT! Very scary and rather moving, especially in the end.

I hope if you have had reservations about seeing it, you reconsider.

Has anyone else seen the movie? What did you think?

I've seen it in fact I own it (only cause Netflix was taking way too damn long LOL)....I wouldnt say its great but it is a good flick..Secret Window though is one of my favs along with Rose Red and It

I like being surprised by movies and stories. I like cliffhangers if I don't have to wait too long to find out what happens.:) In Secret Window, I was surprised how it ended and The Mist is the same. I never suspected the ending to turn out the way it did. I watch a lot of Sci Fi and the ending is almost always a happy "boy gets girl" type of ending. Same.. same.. same.. YAWWWWNNNNN... So even though Mist did not have such a happy ending, I found it rather REFRESHING as long as it was done CORRECTLY, without making the protaganist look silly or stupid. In this movie, it was just a terrible twist of fate, bad luck, and irony that what happened happened.

I did enjoy it as well. I enjoyed the story itself and the way it was put into a movie. It is one movie that I would recommend as well.
As for the fog, I didn't like it, and I can see why you thought about staying away from the mist if you thought it was going to be something like the fog.

I watched the movie last week...its not a good good movie...except the ending was gr8...gr8 means not happy...but something different and emotional...it was worth watching the whole movie for the ending...but i cannot categorise it in my best movies yet.

Oh I agree. The part where the people were slowly turning on each other in the market reminded me so much of Lord of the Flies, where a bunch of school boys became violent and even deadly once left to fend for themselves. It was a good study of how people change when they are suddenly confronted with war or danger. Nice and intelligent civilized humans begin to change once their have to worry about surviving. The deadly menace almost, not quite, but almost took second place over the drama taking place inside the market amongst the people.

Yeah I also did not really like the ending or the movie very much either. The best part was when they went out into the pharmacy where the bugs had completely taken over


leafygreens08 (99)   ranked 1,231 out of 7,930 in watching movies  3 months ago

Oh gosh yeah! The spiders really got to me. Such detail really gave me the creeps. And they moved so terribly fast. I have to give them credit for not making the movie too gory... but just gory enough. Heheh.

I havent seen it but I really want to. I think that movie is probably on my netflix queue. If it isnt I will put it there. I wanted to see that when it was in the theatre, but I never made it. I've read alot of King's books some of the movies have been disappointing but it doesn sound like this one is in this category.

I thought The Mist was pretty good until the end which my husband and I thought was horrible. Secret Window is very creepy and has interesting twists.
I've seen the Fog but don't really remember it that well..


leafygreens08 (99)   ranked 1,231 out of 7,930 in watching movies  3 months ago

Love your avatar, Brimia. Very pretty! Yes, I have both of the Fog Dvds and I enjoyed them and recently got Secret Window too. I totally agree with you about that one. Thanks for your comment! Yes, we see eye-to-eye on these movies by Stephen King.

I think it was really cool... It's almost Silent Hill-like, so I like it quite a bit. Great movie, yeah.
