About this product

Product Information

Frank Darabont (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, THE GREEN MILE) serves as director, writer, and producer of THE MIST, an adaptation of Stephen King's classic novella. After a vicious storm wreaks havoc in their small town in Maine, artist David Drayton (Thomas Jane) heads out to the town supermarket for some much-needed supplies with his young son, Billy (Nathan Gamble), and his neighbor, Norton (Andre Braugher), in tow. Their trip soon turns to terror when a menacing white mist settles in, leaving this group of locals and out-of-towners fighting for survival against an unknown, bloodthirsty enemy. When the local religious zealot (Marcia Gay Harden) begins to convince the group that the mist is punishment from God, Drayton and his cohorts realize that they may be trapped inside with an enemy just as dangerous as whatever is lurking outside.Tension runs high in this tale as the trapped group faces difficult moral decisions. Should they stay and wait out the terror, or make a break for it and risk suffering a terrible fate? Is the eerie mist the will of God, an experiment from the local military base gone awry, or, maybe, a freak natural disaster? Without modern conveniences and the normal conventions and rules to guide them, the group is easily swayed by the loudest opinion. Will they save themselves at the expense of each other, or work as a team to save everyone? There is a decent amount of blood and gore for horror fans, some deadpan humor and just a hint of politics thrown in for good measure. Thomas Jane is a stoic leading man, but Frances Sternhagen and Toby Jones are more fun as unlikely heroes. Laurie Holden, Alexa Davalos, Bill Sadler and Jeffrey Demunn also star in this creepy tale.

Stephen King's The Mist
After a strong storm in the Maine area, the local artist Dave Drayton drives from his house nearby the lake to the supermarket with his son Billy and his arrogant neighbor, the lawyer Brent Norton, to get supplies. Along their way, they see a heavy mist and later, military convoys, police and firefighter trucks, ambulances heading toward it. While in the supermarket, a frantic bleeding local arrives crying that there is something alive in the mist and the manager closes the entrance door while the place is encased by the mist. When David, another client and two employees go to the back of the store to start the generator, they open the back-door and the cashier Norm is hold and dragged by fierce tentacles.

After a strong storm in the Maine area, the local artist Dave Drayton drives from his house nearby the lake to the supermarket with his son Billy and his arrogant neighbor, the lawyer Brent Norton, to get supplies. Along their way, they see a heavy mist and later, military convoys, police and firefighter trucks, ambulances heading toward it. While in the supermarket, a frantic bleeding local arrives crying that there is something alive in the mist and the manager closes the entrance door while the place is encased by the mist. When David, another client and two employees go to the back of the store to start the generator, they open the back-door and the cashier Norm is hold and dragged by fierce tentacles. David and the two survivors succeed to close the loading door, and when they tell the people what happened, Brent does not trust on his words and believes it is a prank and the God-fearing woman Mrs. Carmody preaches the Apocalypse and that she is the vessel of Lord on Earth. Sooner the group discovers that they are under siege of blood thirsty creatures from another dimension that have reached our planet through a window open by a failed military research. Further, the crazy Mrs. Carmody has many followers and is becoming dangerous and dangerous in her speeches. Without alternative, a small group leaded by David decides to take the chance to escape from the supermarket and reach his car, hoping to get out of the mist. "The Mist" works as well as a traditional horror movie, with several genuinely scary sequences. This is a masterful suspense/monster movie that puts an ensemble cast into the untenable situation of being in a deteriorating situation they cannot escape from. Highly recommended.

One of the RARE - Excellent Stephen King Translations
Far be it a secret that many of Stephen Kings' novels of Great Horror slumped into Cinema Productions. (Though recent Hollywood, in most instances alongside King himself, have brought significantly harder life to film- '1408' for example). Now, King has brought to film his short story "The Mist"; and frankly - It Does Not Fail !! The worst electrical storm on record has a small coastal Maine Town assessing the damages to their homes and businesses. Locals have flocked to the town's only Grocery Store to stock up on supplies while Police, Fire and Military Personnel blanket the surrounding area. As a result of the Storm, everything is out — power, phones, and radios — leaving the town cut-off from the rest of the world. And alas the storm has also left behind an Ominous Mist that quickly ...

The worst electrical storm on record has a small coastal Maine Town assessing the damages to their homes and businesses. Locals have flocked to the town's only Grocery Store to stock up on supplies while Police, Fire and Military Personnel blanket the surrounding area. As a result of the Storm, everything is out — power, phones, and radios — leaving the town cut-off from the rest of the world. And alas the storm has also left behind an Ominous Mist that quickly shrouds the town, trapping those inside the Grocery Store when it appears that bloodthirsty, inhuman Monsters are lurking outside. Panic and Confusion Reign inside the store as people struggle to decide what to do next. Three distinct groups begin to emerge: 1) those who want to find a safe means to escape, led by painter and family man David Drayton (Thomas Jane); 2) those who choose not to believe there's anything Evil in the Mist, led by David's neighbor, Brent Norton (Andre Braugher); and 3) those who embrace the chaos and believe the world is coming to an end, led by the religious zealot Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden). With the emergence of these groups, 'The Mist' transcends normal Horror Movie conventions and becomes an enlightening study of religion, class, and human nature in the face of tragedy. Friends and neighbors suddenly become enemies because of the group they've chosen. David and the Maintenance Crew clash over how to fix the store's backup generator. David insists that the crew shouldn't risk their safety by going onto the store's roof to fix it, but the crew proceeds because only they (and not David) have the skills and training to make the right decisions. Later, Brent and David clash when a bloodied David tries to describe the Abominable Creature with sharp tentacles that attacked the maintenance crew as they tried to fix the generator. Brent believes David fabricated the story as retaliation for a lawsuit Brent filed against him several months back. All the while, the insufferable Mrs. Carmody is gaining support amongst the scared with her doomsday preaching and calls for expiation and sacrifice of those whom she believes are at fault. Writer/Director Frank Darabont does a tremendous job building and sustaining the suspense both inside and outside the store. The Monsters lurk quietly in the Mist, never totally visible until Darabont decides to thrust an attack upon us at the most unanticipated moments. Once the immediate threat from the Mist has subsided, and before the next one arrives, Darabont turns on the tension within the store as the forces battle over complex societal issues and right approach to dealing with the situation. For "The Mist" the Monsters are only a small part of the larger supporting cast. Although never fully exposed or explained, Darabont's terrifying creatures can best be described as flies, spiders and other creatures on steroids — they're ten times their normal size, with razor sharp teeth and penetrating claws. The formulaic failure of past Stephen King adaptations have met the Modern Day Success' that truly grind-out the Horror King always intended !! SEE THIS !! 5-Star - Cannot Fail You !!

The Mist, a MUST see for Stephen King fans
I did have to watch it twice to absorb the ending as it is so different from the short story ending..I wasn't too sure about the casting of Marcia Gay Harden. I have always enjoyed her as an actress but having read the story so many times I wasn't sure she was right for Mrs. Carmody, but her performance absolutely blew me away, she did an outstanding job. I thought the special effects were excellent. Some of the 'critter' scenes were pumped up and drawn out compared to the short story but once again, for me, it didn't hurt the movie. There are some things (I don't want to put spoilers in here) in the scene where he looks for his wife that I liked better in the book version, but overall, I really loved this movie adaption.

A good old fasioned monster story, with what I thought were powerful performances all around, even the little boy was excellent, not irritating as many can be when a role demands a lot of stress and tears, etc. He pulled it off very well. Of course, the familiar face of Jeffery DeMunn (Green Mile and Storm of the Century come to mind) is always a pleasure to see. I especially enjoy him in Stephen King's works. This one is a definite must have for me, one that I will watch again and again. I thought it interesting that they added a black and white version and I am really looking forward to watching that one. (Thanks lipfird71). Just as he did with King's "The Green Mile", Frank Darabont once again stayed true to the book version of "The Mist" regardless of the changes in story line. As for those folks who are having trouble with the ending, just ask yourself 'If I was in this position, what would I do'. That is what my husband asked me, then I had finally got my head wrapped around it. If you are a Stephen King fan or Frank Darabont fan, or just a fan of those great old monster movies, I do believe you will love this movie.

A Monster Movie That Shows Humanity's Monsters
When this movie went off all I could do was breathe...This movie struck chords deep inside my soul and the people watching it with me. Some of the most amazing creature effects seen in decades mainly because it's not CG...This movie will make you mad, sad, and hatefull all at the same time. This was the very first book I ever read by S. King (I was a teen at the time so..1980's) inside the collection called Skeleton Crew, and this was the story that really stood out among the collection..so when I heard they were making a movie based on it I had a Geek-gasm. I was not disappointed at all!!!! This movie is a MUST SEE for everyone..except the children..it may scar them. This movie really is a story about how humanity would react when put into horrifying situations. And , it really shows how ...

This movie really is a story about how humanity would react when put into horrifying situations. And , it really shows how horrible people can be when put into these types of situations..especially those that use God to their own means. The one scene in which this is really shown will disturb you when you see it. BUY THIS MOVIE~~~~The 2 disk has some fantastic bonus and making offs that are a must see and will show you the work and love that was put into this movie.
