I can’t believe I just watched The Mist now. I’ve encountered it multiple times in the past but always ignored it for reasons I don’t remember. I know that this film is based on a novella by Stephen King, an award-winning horror writer. Keeping this in mind, the film is sure to be a hit. And it truly is. From start to finish, The Mist is consistently gonna bring you exciting thrills and heart-breaking twists.
The story tells the story of normal people stranded in a convenience store, where they’re safe from the perils of some breed of creatures from another dimension. Yup, this is a monster film. But what really stands out in this movie is not how they battle the insect-like creatures, but how they battle each other. Conflicts between the people inside the store really heightens the tension present in every scene. This is where Mrs. Carmody comes in. She’s some crazy ass middle aged woman who won’t stop preaching God’s words to the people. This is okay, I guess. But when you proclaim yourself as God’s Vessel then that’s just plain annoying. All throughout the film, I wanted to strangle her senselessly… Maybe I’m too violent, OR that’s how bitchy she really is. LOL. Anyway, it’s how the movie plays with your emotions that makes it great. Plus, the really wicked ending. So I really recommend you to watch this thing if you haven’t yet. If you have, better watch it again, for fun. Oh, and it's interesting to see what becomes of Mrs. Carmody in the end.
5 out of 5 Big Brother: Convenience Store edition.
Seriously, who wouldn't want to strangle this lunatic.
