Frank Darabont must be really pissed at George Lucas. Either that or someone ran over his dog – which may be more likely, as having an Indy script ditched doesn’t explain the thematic volte-face displayed in The Mist. Gone is The Shawshank Redemption’s soaring optimism. Cheerio comforting li’l mouse from The Green Mile. Hello big vicious crawlies that jump out of the mist and tear your skin off. And they aren’t the nastiest thing in the movie. That would be Marcia Gay Harden.

I thought everything about this film was dire!!
I was expecting great things considering it was directed by Shawshank/green mile director Frank Darabont, however i was sorely disappointed!!!
The script sucked, the CGI was abyssmal and the characters were your typical small town american cliches. Handsome male lead, crazy religious nutter, geeky shop worker, biker boy, prejudiced country hick and ballsy blonde.
The thing that annoyed me the most was the mad bible botherer who, in the space of about 24 hours started up her own cult when people started to lose hope and the plot. I'd have smacked her in the mouth the minute she started preaching and I was actually relieved when she was shot!!!
I found the ending a tad unsettling, the main lead seemed a bit too trigger happy for my liking and then lo and behold the army arrive through the mist, not the giant bug alien things!! What a shocker!!!
By the end of this very long film I was just like "so what!"
