The Mist


3 out of 5 Stars
This was definitely better than I expected. It is a solid two hour monster movie, with all the action taking place in one locale (excellent...it's like a play! But with special effects, giant bugs, and blood!!). But it's the interactions and reactions of the characters that make this film worth watching. Human nature at it's worst in times of crisis -- man turning on his fellow man -- betrayals and survival, etc. But by far the highlight of the movie is Marcia Gay Harden as a religious zealot!
