Hayden C One of Stephen King’s best movie adaptations. This movie has lots of suspense and is a great survival horror movie. The story is also very dark and very messed up as the ending of the movie is one of the most heart wrenching and depressing endings ever. This movie is great to watch and shows how brilliant Stephen King is with his storytelling. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Blu B A Cult Classic. The cinematography isn't bad but it defintely is on the low budget side. It has a borderline SyFy Channel cheapness look to the whole thing. The direction is alright enough but man you'd never know this is the same dude who did Shawshank and Green Mile. It's kind of crazy to think about. The CGI is also terrible...just flat out terrible and takes you out of the expierence 100% everytime you see it. That being said, the location is memorable, the mist is cool, and the ending....easily the best part. The music isn't bad either but it can be a bit generic, not used that much, and I wish it was a bit more catchy. Everything else though overall is good. There is A LOT of characters in this but it does a good job keeping for the most part together in one location and not getting too jumpy with individual stories. It's crazy how despite the CGI being terrible the acting in general is good and saves lots of scenes honestly. Some actors are better than others. The religious woman just becomes annoying and gets way too much screentime. Some acting can be B Movie hoaky also and the dialouge isn't anything special. But some characters are more likeable than others too but overall there is some good chemistry between them and the majority do stick out to varying degrees. During death scenes or attacks it can be a bit to over the top though. It does follow a logical flow of events that do make sense. Sometimes it lingers too long on certain subplots, the religious undertone can get too much focus at times and be way too on the nose, but it makes perfect sense. And the actions they do take in general follow a logical sense despite some dumb moves like trying to get the gun at the end off the car in the most forced awkward way possible. This alternates between being consistently good, taking you out of the expierence with bad CGI, being intrigued, being bored and yet it holds up together well enough. But what really makes up for the rocky road is the ending....Yeah it's worth it. It's a really good twist that man if the rest of the film was as good this would easily be one of the best horror flicks of the 21st century. Dare I say this deserves a big budget remake. Anyone who is a big fan of any actors in this, 00's horror, or curious fans of the director should check this out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review P Y A little gem. Acting is superb and the script is B movie esque, however it's directed and finished brilliantly.
