Review of The Mist

The Mist (2007)
3/10
Dumbest. Movie. Ever.
1 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers galore...

This movie is probably the "Dumbest. Movie. Ever".

  • Dumb Script - military open a door to another dimension and giant bugs wreak havoc in Middle America...?? Pull the other one...


  • Dumb dumb characters.. What would you do if you faced a giant spider - would you just look at it a scream for 5 seconds before getting brutally murdered? Would you use lights to attract bugs which attract bigger bugs and then get killed?? Would you have problems with a child proof lock on a BBQ lighter when almost getting killed by giant bugs..? Would you dream up a plan of "let's just drive until we run out of gas out in the killer mist" rather than staying in a relatively safe supermarket? When finally running out of gas in your dumb attempt to "drive through the mist" - couldn't you just be patient for another 5 minutes and wait for the military to come and rescue you or would you just commit a mass suicide instead...? I'm not sure if these people are dumber than the religious zealots in the movie...?


  • Dumb CGI - I had burst out laughing when the CGI tentacle monster first appeared. As Jay and Silent Bob would say - did this set back Miramax 20 bucks?


This movie is definitely D-grade all the way through - direct to rental...
