Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1Audience Rating: R (Restricted) Binding: Blu-ray EAN: 0796019815239 Format: Subtitled, Widescreen Label: Weinstein Company Languages: Manufacturer: Weinstein Company MPN: 81523 Number Of Items: 2 Publisher: Weinstein Company Release Date: September 16, 2008 Running Time: 126 minutes Studio: Weinstein Company Theatrical Release Date: 2007 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Writer-director Frank Darabont, who showcased the softer side of Stephen King in his film adaptations of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, turns to darker material for The Mist, his latest King adaptation about a group of ordinary townspeople trapped in a supermarket by a mysterious fogbank. Thomas Jane is top-billed as a Maine illustrator who attempts to calm the frightened shoppers, but his job is cut out for him from the get-go, first by the discovery of malevolent creatures lurking in the mist, and then by the mad mutterings of Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden), a local eccentric who calls for Old Testament-style sacrifices to appease the supernatural forces. Darabont delivers monster movie thrills and understated social commentary with equal skill, and he's well supported by his cast (which includes Andre Braugher, Toby Jones, William Sadler and Jeffrey DeMunn) and the vivid special effects by KNB EFX, which effectively mix CGI with models and stop-motion animation (the terrific monsters were designed by legendary comic book artist Bernie Wrightson). And for those curious about how the novella's downbeat ending has translated to film, suffice it to say that Darabont's conclusion is at once different and more unsettling than King's. --Paul Gaita Description: From legendary frightmaster Stephen King and 3-time Oscar-nominated director Frank Darabont* (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) comes "one of the scariest King films since Stanley Kubrick's The Shining" (Tasha Robinson, The Onion A.V. Club). After a mysterious mist envelopes a small New England town, a group of locals trapped in a supermarket must battle a siege of otherworldly creatures...and the fears that threaten to tear them apart. Starring Thomas Jane (The Punisher) and Oscar winner* Marcia Gay Harden (Mystic River) in one of the year's most talked-about performances, The Mist is riveting, with "tension like an ever-tightening clamp" (Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I hated this movie. I hated, hated, hated this movie. HATED it.This is among the worst movies I have ever seen. The characters are stupid and one-dimensional; the concept too absurd for any suspension of disbelief, and the story goes from dull to violent to absurdly dull. The 'surprise ending' is totally predictable given the cruelty with which the storyline treats all of the characters. I would rather have sinus surgery than sit through this miserable piece of detritus ever again. Thanks to Roger Ebert for my subject line Rating:  - Better than expected!I am always devided when it comes to book to movie adaptions as alot of times they ravage the story. But overall I was plesantly surpized with this latest Stephan King story brought to celluoid. The effects are done well considering, the plot is very suspenciful (fear of the unknown), and the premise of how the mist/whats in the mist came to be is not explained but briefly suggested at and very interesting. I love movies that leave you thinking and captivated ie: 28 Days/Weeks Later and the Mist ... Read More Rating: - TerriblePlease. King sometimes delivers but this was a stinker. A survival movie where the hero kills everyone but himself in the end? Don't bother even renting it. Rating:  - "Promise You Won't Let The Monsters Get Me" Synopsis: The '07 release `The Mist' unfolds like a Lovecraftian nightmare come alive in a small rural American community. Cloaked within a dense, inexplicable mist that engulfs the town lurks a collection of phantasmagorical creatures ranging from what appears to be large, mutated dragonflies and spiders to enormous monstrosities that would answer to such diabolical names as Shoggoth, or Cthulhu if this film had been adapted from a H.P. Lovecraft novel. Though no mention of the nefarious Necronomicon ... Read More Rating: - Wickedly Entertaining with a surprising endingHas all of the supernatural effects a horror movie should have. Starts out with a stormy front moving in and ends with tragedy. This movie is by far one of the most original I've seen in awhile. I would suggest this movie for anyone who likes horror with a sci-fi twist. Very entertaining and well-constructed movie. |
