J. R. Jones
[This] grocery-store survival drama, dominated by Marcia Gay Harden as a shrill fundamentalist, serves as a crude but effective allegory for post-9/11 America.
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
It's a horror movie of real conviction. It deserves to be a hit.
Richard Roeper
A near-campy escapist thrill ride.
David Edelstein
The Mist builds toward a climax so wrenching that I hesitate to recommend the film, but I think Darabont earns his vision.
Peter Howell
Even though it is mindless, at least until the provocative ending, The Mist manages to provide some decent old-school shocks.
Rick Groen
The Shawshank Redemption, was splendid; the second, The Green Mile, wasn't; and now The Mist continues the slide. I wouldn't say this is laugh-out-loud risible, but there are definitely moments.

The Mist strikes daring notes of antireligious clarity and social sacrifice.

Very good movie This movie is very insightful. This could happen but is a bit exaggerated. Who has the technology to open a portal to another universe?? But it was a good movie to watch, just hated that christian lady, she was very annoying with her bibical views. She took them to seriously. Stephen King knows how to please his audience and he also knows to end his movies in a twisted way.
Amazing, Love It It just amazing its not to scary but it has its moments when the monsters popped out of nowhere and its just a good ammout of violence and horror just mixed into one I love this movie and could watch it over and over again

One of the best! After watching for the first time in theaters, I felt gutted after the ending. An unimaginable fate for any parent to consider or for any compassionate human being. Stephen King has a way to make us think about things that are not part of our comfort zone. I have teared up at the thought of it while watching this film. You know a film is good when it tugs at the very core of your being. Well played Stephen King, well played.

Watch it in black and white if you can After seeing the color palette of the film in features and trailers, I can't imagine it being better than the crisp sharpness of B&W. The movie is vintage Darabont and the story is likewise vintage King. True horrors in this film, both in the grotesque and in humanity. Be warned, this is not a feel-good picture at all. However, if you appreciate good characters in your monster movies and not just schlock, you'll love it. Excellent use of sound as well in both effects and music. Recommended with a group of like-minded friends to discuss and dissect (ahem) as well as enjoy.
Love it Horrible sad ending made me cry but great movie so dramatic stephen kings is awesome
Excellent! I hate happy endings... and this one ends the way all movies should, just following everything else that happened since the beginning. Awesome!
Great adaptation! This a great adaptation of a Stephen King short story. The ending is different, but King said he wish he thought of it. Acting/dialogue has some bad moments, the CGI is dated in some scenes, but overall, this is a great movie.
Book is better I like the book better, the ending in the movie was shocking and they should have kept it to the original. It ruined it for me. There could have been anothet movie to go deeper into this mist with new mysteries and to understandable why the mist happened.

A Demonstration of Humanity This film does a get job of building terror in the sense of how people can react. In the context of gave horror different factions embody the different reasonings people can develop. When you watch this be honest with yourself as to who you really identify with and let the terror begin.
Amazing Smart, intelligent sci fi horror thriller. The script is truly genius.
Good movie Good movie for what it was....love how so many lives are intertwined in one chaotic event....ending was shocking
Read the book..... I read his short story in the skeleton crew, havent watched yet. Saw the trailer on youtube just now..... Excited. Book was probably better, and if u like the movie, go get his book from halfprice books or something! Thanks for your time!
Very interesting Love this movie!!!! Its so bloody and very weird, but i still love it. Even know the ending is very sad, i hope the directors will make a "The Mist 2"
The book is better... As with all movies adapted from books the book is far superior. The ending of this movie will kill your soul making you regret watching it altogether. It compares to the book well in some parts but others its way off. I would have also liked more of an explanation for the mist and the creatures from another dimension.
Awesome Great movie but the ending made me feel just horrible,so sad.
Great Amazing horror based on the Stephen King short story.

Halloween (2007)
From acclaimed musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie (The Devil's Rejects, House of 1000 Corpses) comes an entirely new take on the highly successful and terrifying Halloween legacy that began in 1978. While revealing a new chapter in the established Michael Myers saga, the film will surprise both classic and modern horror fans with a departure from prior films in the Halloween franchise. Audiences should brace themselves for unprecedented fear as Zombie turns back time to uncover the making of a pathologically disturbed, even cursed child, named Michael Myers.

1408 (Director's Cut)
Adapted from the terrifying short story by suspense master, Stephen King. Renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin (John Cusack) believes only in what he can see with his own two eyes. But after a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he has no real proof of life...afterlife. But Enslin's phantom-free run of long and lonely nights is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project, "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms." Defying the warnings of the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson), the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another bestseller may be imminent, but like many Stephen King heroes, first he must go from skeptic to true believer -- and confront his demons to survive the night.
