The Mist (Moive Review)

Ok - I have been screaming and I have been begging for someone to make a good horror film. Well thanks to director Frank Darabont for giving us The Mist, a film based off a Stephen King novella about a small town, that after a freakish storm, encounters a weird and heavy mist. It's not the fog that the town folks need to worry about, instead it is the strange, but deadly critters that pop out of nowhere that has a small band of people stranded inside of the town supermarket. They soon find out that besides these creatures from the mist, human primal instincts will become their worst nightmare as they fight for life, even to the point of turning on each other.

I will say that The Mist has been long over due. It has suspense, it has monsters, blood and gore and of course some dumb ass people, all the elements for a good horror movie. To be honest, what's really scary about this movie is the reaction of the people and how friends will turn to enemies at the point of crucial and critical times. When it comes down to survival, who will you sacrifice just to live a little longer? I didn't mention it earlier, but big ups to Stephen King for writing a great book, continuing to show us why he is still one of the kings of horror.
