After a powerful storm damages their Maine home, David Drayton (Thomas Jane) and his young son head into town to gather food and supplies. Soon afterward, a thick fog rolls in and engulfs the town, trapping the Draytons and others in the grocery store. Terror mounts as deadly creatures reveal themselves outside, but that may be nothing compared to the threat within, where a zealot (Marcia Gay Harden) calls for a sacrifice.

Adam Nayman The Ringer H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos has long been one of King's guiding influences, and Frank Darabont's adaptation of The Mist honors that relationship while also working as a 21st-century political parable. Sep 5, 2019 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 5/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Jul 4, 2008 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Because Darabont's not shooting for Oscar gold this time around, he's able to ease up on the pedal of self-importance and deliver an old-fashioned "B"- style genre flick. Rated: 3/4 Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry Nuanced and deeply layered, The Mist proves itself not only to be a well-crafted horror but an example of the true power of adaptations. Dec 10, 2022 Full Review Kristy Strouse Wonderfully Weird and Horrifying Overall, The Mist is a terrifying example of fantastical nightmares coming to life, and the human monsters that crisis can make of us. The acting is on point and the design is a spooky delight. The end will have you screaming. Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Bucky R Great little Stephen King tribute to Lovecraft. Very EC Comics kinda ending is very fun. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review TROY S One of the best horror movies I have ever seen, great story and the ending is one of the best horror movies endings of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Steven L What an amazing ending! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Jay D One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Definitely would not recommend it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Gnm 5 I liked the story. And the whole trapped in grocery store idea. Special effects were pretty good. Not bad acting. Would have gave it a 4, but SK has been sticking his nose in politics lately and I do NOT want to be preached to by an out of touch celebrity. You write books and movies, stick to that SKing Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Jay H 17 years after its initial release, people are still arguing over the ending. Looks like Darabont was correct in going that route. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
