The Mist

Marcia Gay Harden

Your basic monster movie. A storm brings horrible monsters into a seaside town; a group gets trapped in the local supermarket...who will survive? Pretty much by-the-numbers. Some very good creature effects, annoying doubters/skeptics get their comeuppance, a religious nut sways the crowd, etc.

Hasn't all this been done before? Many times. This film (by Frank Darabont) does it as well as most. Could've used some trimming...some scenes were held too long...but it was enjoyable...if you like this sort of thing.
