Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

MartinHafer There are a few important warnings I have about this film. It's incredibly violent and at times pretty gross...so exercise caution before watching it. Additionally, the character Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden) will likely offend many religious people. The story is set in a New England town. A weird mist descends on the village and a group of people are trapped inside a grocery store. When a teen tries running from the store to get help, he's torn apart by a multi-tentacled monster....but only a few people see this happen. A Some of the rest of them don't believe the story about the tentacle monster in the mist and make a run for it...and disappear. Soon, regardless of whether the rest of them believe or not, they believe SOMETHING god-awful has occurred....and gigantic evil bugs begin attacking. And, it only gets worse...thanks to human nature which takes an awful situation and makes it so much worse....including a weirdo religious nut who VERY quickly (too quickly) develops a cult-like following. What's next? It only gets much worser!I like the angle about human nature tearing the group of people apart...this is the best aspect of the movie in my opinion. However, a few of the characters (particularly the amazingly unsubtle Mrs. Carmody) are ridiculous and over-the-top. Subtle, it sure isn't! Additionally, after a while I simply got tired of seeing the violence and ugliness...especially since it goes on for more than two hours. I must admit, this is NOT the sort of picture I normally watch....and it's very likely others might enjoy (?) the film more than I did. Thoroughly unpleasant, albeit a bit thought-provoking when it comes to folks reactions to the menaces.

Mohammed_hyper The movie was normal but the end was a shocking and worth to watch it

cdub-94048 I honestly don't know why this movie has good ratings. This movie is filled with poorly written characters, bad acting, and moments that will make you literally laugh out loud because of the ridiculousness.SPOILERS BELOWFirst, Drayton as a character is beyond illogical. He constantly and repeatedly abandons his only child in order to play the hero. He willingly gives his child over to absolute and complete strangers. Towards the end we get a half hearted "sorry" from him but they idea that a father would abandon their child constantly when in a disaster scenario is ridiculous unless Drayton is a sociopathic character. He also never seems to care at all about his wife who is all alone. He makes a break for her at the end but that's the first we see him care about her.There is little to no support for the reactions of the characters. They all decide that the mist is evil and shouldn't be entered well before anything bad happens to prove that they shouldn't enter. Basically a bunch of shoppers just freak out over some fog. They happen to be correct but until multiple bodies pilled up, any normal human would not react how they did.Most of the characters break out in rash and illogicao anger to manufacture drama. Maybe the book is good but don't waste your time with this film. Incredibly poorly written and a laughable "horror" movie

The Movie Diorama I've tried to open my eyes up to one of Stephen King's later horror films, but alas with every watch I just feel underwhelmed. A strange elusive mist overshadows a small town where various civilians are trapped in a supermarket. However, within the mist are strange gruesome creatures so it's up to the trapped survivors to try and escape. The situation that is presented is an allegory. Humanity itself is self-destructive. With many different personalities in one secluded location, there's bound to be cliques, differing views and struggle for power. This is where the film succeeds. The paranoia undertone that the narrative conveys is the thrilling element. Utilising the strength of fear to persuade and corrupt others into an idealism. How is that portrayed here? A flipping religious lunatic preaching to the crowd. Oh yes, is it a sly dig at religious conversion? No, I don't think so. It highlights how humans destroy each other, and provides the plot with an antagonist that incredibly infuriated me. The monsters are just there to provide tame scares in all it's horrible CGI glory. Sure they look creative and provide some gruesome aspects, yet somehow I was bored. I wasn't particularly thrilled. I just felt incredibly annoyed at how damn easily people can get corrupted, which in fairness is what the plot was going for. I found the acting to be incredibly mediocre, particularly in the first two acts. Every line of dialogue was monotonous. A few good gory scenes involving mini arachnids bursting out a living person or acid web to the face. Then...the ending arrives. If I wasn't infuriated enough, this was the icing on the cake. I absolutely hated the conclusion. Depressing? Yes. But damn coincidental and convenient if you ask me. I understand the purpose, that even good souls ultimately destroy others. But...urgh. The trapped environment and intelligent narrative is what excites me, everything else was absurdly mediocre. Just...the ending...I despise it.
