It Takes A Lot To Scare Me..."The Mist" TERRIFIED Me!, December 25, 2007
By Jill Dunsmore "jjdunsmore50" - See all my reviews
I am beginning my overall review by saying that yes, the monsters are scary as hell, but the people trapped in the supermarket by the monsters are even scarier. A religious nut, Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden) persuades the unfortuneate trapped people that the mist is an act of god, and they basically go absolutely crazy, paying sacrifices.
The scariest scene is when the brain-washed religious people are attacking Amanda (Laurie Holden) and the young boy (Nathan Gamble). It is so terrifying and incredibly scary and gut-wrenchingly sad at the same time.
The effects are so great and scary. The monsters are wonderfully terrifying, and the scenes with the monsters are really scary, especially in the back of the store in the loading dock. It is so terrifying, and you will be on the edge of your seat, screaming in terror the entire time.
What I loved most about this movie is that there were so many terrifying scenes that I actually didn't believe that there could be that many in a single horror flick. It was really great and scary, and they were actually really, really terrifying.
Along with horror and bloody brilliant scenes, there are humurous scenes, like when an old woman, Irene (Frances Sternhagen) combines bug spray and fire to kill a horde of spiders. It's brilliant and very, very humurous in so many aspects.
The only (yes, ONLY) flaw with this movie is that the ending was terrible. It was unexpected, didn't explain anything, yet it was so heart-breakingly sad at the same time. It basically left you hanging, and still had you guessing, which is what should happen during the movie, not in the final scene.
Otherwise, Stephen King's The Mist is a terrifying, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride that will leave you thrilled, terrified, shocked and engaged throughout the entire time. It is a must-see movie, and is easily the scariest movie of 2007 so far
I have the movie on DVD, but have not seen it yet. I plan on watching it fairly soon...I'll get back to you guys, once I have. I appreciate all of the input. Take care.
