The Mist on DVD

The Mist: The most fascinating aspect of The Mist is how all of the town people unanimously refer to the hazy cloud as “the mist!” Not one person veers from the consensus and argues that it should be called “a fog”. I myself would use “smog”, “fog”, “haze”, or even “the vapor” to describe the phenomenon before dubbing it “The Mist”. Oh well. The story comes to us from Stephen King - The Master of Horror (using his full title). After a wicked storm runs through a small east coast town, a strange “vapor” or “mist" if we must, rolls in. At this time, most of the people in the town (or the ones we care about) are at the local supermarket stacking up on your typical Y2K items. Now the mist is scary, but what lurks inside the mist is even scarier! In between some good frightening jolts, the story focuses on how fear affects people’s psyche especially in a religious sense as one of the ladies in the supermarket is a holy roller. As with a lot of these monster movies, the film has a little bit of a b-movie feel. If you are really into this genre of film I would tell you to Pick it Up, but for the rest of us….
