MOVIE SYNOPSIS
The Mist
0 User reviews | Post a review


David Drayton and his young son Billy are among a large group of terrified townspeople trapped in a local grocery store by a strange, otherworldly mist. David is the first to realize that there are things lurking in the mist--deadly, horrifying things--creatures not of this world. Survival depends on everybody in the store pulling together, but is that possible, given human nature? As reason crumbles in the face of fear and panic, David begins to wonder what terrifies him more: the monsters in the mist or the ones inside the store, the human kind, the people that until now had been his friends and neighbors?

"The Mist" is one of those allegorical horror movies about the real monster being the one inside us. In the cinema of reduced visibility, I think it ranks well behind "The Fog," wherein the real monster was a spectral pirate with a hook for a hand, and he was chasing Adrienne Barbeau. » Read more

Wells (Food of the Gods) and Edgar Rice Burroughs (The Land That Time Forgot). » Read more
