The Mist

[Zarjazz]

Anyone else leeched ^H^H^H^H^H^H seen the film "The Mist" ? Best smallish budget (psychological) horror movie I've seen in quite a while.

It even reminded me of a few computer games - Silient Hill & Half-Life

Gonna be watching it on Saturday round my sister's. Can't wait now

A mate watched it last night and was raving about it to me on the phone this afternoon. Will have to give it a whirl and see what the fuss is about.

read the book ages ago. quite looking forward to what they've made of it tbh

I turned it off due to the god awful acting in it.

Seriously? You guys thought it was fantastic?

It made me have brain spasms, and keep shouting at the screen "FOR CRYING OUT LOUD STOP BEING SO RETARDED".

Spoiler

They all deserve to die for being for damn spode like.

It was so Steven King as well, which is sometimes a really good thing, but is occasionally a very bad thing.

"Hai, I'm religious zealot character number nineteen. You will hate me and get really frustrated when i embark on yet another seven minute long monologue but I have influence and represent the power of blind faith to corrupt."

Bleh. It was enjoyable in places, but over all inspired rage in me.

I didn't know it was Stephen King before I saw it plus I had zero expectations - just another film on the download list, so maybe that helped Compared to all the dross I've seen recently it make a good change. Also, I did liked the end.

 

[Damini]

But the end was especially stupid.

I didn't know it was a Stephen King either, until Religious Woman arrived. And then I knew.

It wasn't the worst film ever, it was just so flimsy and artificial in places. It was a novella, stretched into a full length film, and the gaps in thinking were obvious and instead of trying to address the RETARDEDNESS of people's actions by expanding on the plot, they just left people gawping brainlessly while things happened.

I started watching it with a mate but she made me turn it off when they were trying to save the sherminator at the garage door claiming it was shit, i was not impressed.

I'll get it watched this week sometime, ive been waiting long enough for a decent copy

The ending was class albeit slightly obvious.

Acting was terrible, not read the book, but no doubt another poor interreptation of a good King novel.

The ending had been changed from the Original book but apparently the director had asked Kings permission to do so. Personally I enjoyed it quite alot, I thought it was better than alot of the crap that had been spewed out of hollywood in recent times.

My only real problem with it was there is no real explanation of the Mist other than a tiny bit of information.
