Movie Thoughts: The Mist
Posted in Movies by Master Geek on August 27th, 2008 |
Been a while since I have seen a Stephen King movie. The Mist is about a small town where a strange mist comes rolling in and traps a group of people in a supermarket.
For me, this movie wasn’t about scary creatures, It was about what people would do when their reality falls apart around them and they are presented with the impossible and their reaction to that stress overload.
The reactions of the people had me sitting there nodding my head saying, yep I can see that person doing that. This was the first time in ages I had done this in a horror movie, normally its ‘like they would really do that’ that most horror movies use.
Overall the movie stayed true to its premise and was a great if somewhat disturbing watch, as the characters felt true.
