The Mist, 2007
In stark contrast to the previously reviewed 'The Happening' - The Mist hits the mark in a similar genre.
Director Frank Darabont turns a Stevn King story (with King's help) into an edge of your seat jitter fest.
The population of a small town ends up inside the local supermarket as an eerie looking mist envelops the area. What starts out as a harmless bit of fog turns seriously sinister as all sorts of things spring from the dark.
As you'd expect, chaos starts to rule and the result makes for pretty tense stuff.
The largely unknown Thomas Jane (small bits in Face Off and Magnolia) does a sound job leading the way but this is about the mist, not the acting.
Pretty memorable ending too. Underrated movie.
8/10
