This is how one makes a great horror film. The story is very simple. After a storm batters a small town in Maine, a mysterious mist descends on the community and traps people in a grocery store.
The mist contains a lot of bizarre monsters that kill people and seem to be all over the place. Those trapped inside the market fight for their lives from the monsters and each other as the event brings out the worst in some of the people.
This is one of the most suspenseful films I have seen in a very long time and it is a highly recommended film from me to you. The cast is very good in their roles and the creature effects are very well done.
I think what most people remember most about the movie is it's very dark, and I mean dark ending. Never has a film had such a shocking ending and it makes most people cringe when they see it. The story gets the viewer wrapped up in the goings on and you really like some of the people and others you really dislike...a lot.
The Blu-ray presentation is excellent and the disc I have contains over two hours of very interesting extras on how the film was made. I am no fan of Stephen King, but he did write a great story and Frank Darabont does a top notch directing job.
<If you haven't ever seen this film, you should, and soon. It is a classic example of what cinema used to be, even in the early 2000's.
