Stephen King's The Mist is more than a mere monster movie and its certainly not a typical horror film. The Mist is a brutal and violent character study that explores how ordinary people would react in a threatening situation. This film shows how fear and paranoia can completely change a person and turn us into rabid animals. One character clearly claimed that if you take all of our defenses away and scare the shit out of us, we no longer have morals or rules. The Mist tells the story of a father and his young son who become trapped in a supermarket after a mysterious mist envelops their town and unleashes an otherworldly evil upon the locals. This is director Frank Darabont's third adaptation of a Stephen King novel and its possibly his most compelling and powerful film yet. Thomas Jane leads an impressive cast of powerhouse performers which includes Toby Jone, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden, and Andre Braugher. Toby Jones was the standout in my opinion and Marcia Gay Harden was delightfully evil. This film is simply an intense and compelling experience with an ending that is nearly impossible to forget. This is kind of a depressing film but its very realistic in its depiction of human nature and our animalistic behavior. I am someone who is highly interested in psychology and human nature, so this film was a satisfying experience for me. Stephen King's The Mist is a spellbinding horror film and a powerful character study...
