I can safely predict that this will be the next best thing in recent horror.

"...Easily the most 'mist-ifying' horror film of 2007 and one of the best of the decade, the character driven story and relatable themes will no doubt make it a classic to be talked about for years. The Mist is the real deal..."

"...The physical effects, courtesy of KNB, showcase the incredible imagination of the crew. Bringing the gore and grue that I only pictured in my head for years to the big screen was a delight..."

"...While most people would be quick to jump on the bandwagon like so many others and proclaim that it's similar to The Fog because of percipitous weather conditions, I would be more inclined to say it resembles The Thing, in that there is no break in the tension. In the Fog, we have daylight, in which our heroes can find answers and safety. In The Thing and The Mist, there is no safe ground, every second counts and the terror never takes a break..."

"...Going beyond the ending in the novella, Darabont doesn't leave it up in the 'air' so to speak but goes somewhere even the darkest part of my mind wouldn't dream of. And that is something that really makes the film stand out and bring itself full circle. I'm glad, thankful even, that he chose to bring me there and go beyond what would be considered a normal 'Hollywood' ending. King himself praises the new ending, saying "It is the most shocking ending ever and there should be a law passed stating that anybody who reveals the last 5 minutes of this film should be hung from their neck until dead"..."




Can you tell that...I CANT WAIT!!:D
