What a horror film SHOULD be - dark, tense, and punctuated by just enough gore to keep the viewer's flinch reflex intact.
Criminally overlooked in the States, this is one of the best horror movies of the last few years.

amazing movie, the beginning is a little slowly and a little boring, but since the minute 20 became a very amazing movie, show in a realistic way what happens in a very bad situation, and the final is totally impredicible and shocking

While it's riveting throughout, The Mist is a bit bloated.
The movie has a monster problem -- the more you see of them, the less scary they are -- most of the characters are standard-issue types, and Harden seriously overdoes the pious psycho bit.
The Mist doesn't provoke further thought; it provokes active annoyance at being punished in the service of a pulp morality tale with pretensions.
Until the director Frank Darabont decides that he’s saying something important instead of making a nifty horror movie, The Mist isn’t half bad.
A lumbering and depressing movie.
Awesome, i absolutely love the idea of the story, there should have been more seasons and movies on this topic

I wasn't expecting much (indeed, the first twenty minutes was quite bad), but the film quickly redeemed itself with dark, human drama. The ending is also disturbing, but brilliant. The special effects could have been better, as could the monster designs.

This movie is not good. The plot, rather than having you on the edge of your seat, will have you slumped down in it, drinking that sweet, sweet Pepsi-Cola you bought at the grocery store where you picked up this movie. The acting is nothing special. The soundtrack is boring. The movie relies on blood and jumpscares too much to say, "It was so spooky!" but rather, "Eh, it startled me a couple times." It isn't a 0 because it isn't awful. It's just bad. It's mediocre at best, and not worth any amount you pay for the disc or on Amazon or anywhere. As for the ending, instead of making us go like, "OH. EM. JEEEEEEEEEE!" we ended up chuckling at that excuse for a sad ending. Basically, don't watch it. It isn't worth two or three hours.

Way overhyped in certain circles, this film relies heavily on cartoonish carictures instead of complex characters and uses interesting technical choices to try to cover up how bad the screenplay is. The special effects have aged terribly, and this film might have been somewhat better with practical effects, but that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that the film has very little to say other than “society breaks down in the face of disasters”, which may be one of the most overdone stories of the past couple decades. This may in part be the fault of King, whose short story shares many of these problems. Other than a few good moments and maybe the kernel of one or two interesting ideas, this movie was really a frustrating viewing experience for me.
