Frank Darabont‘s The Mist is a moderately cool little film during the first act when none of the characters knows what’s happening, when all they know is that the heavy mist — call it thick fog — enveloping their small town is a bringer of something wicked. But once it moves out of Twilight Zone territory and becomes a slimey-ass monster film, forget it. That’s all you need to hear.
