Not as bad as you would think.

Nah, shit.

Couldn't stop laughing. Especially during the ending.

Pros: tense, well-paced, frightening, and shocking. Cons: broad, obvious, cliched, and some iffy effects. Overall, I liked it a lot...and then, that ending. That punch in the gut ending. On the one hand I admire the balls but on the other it's frustrating as hell. Not sure how I feel about it.

Wow, I really really really despised that Mrs.Carmody!!! And the ending... Well, that's what would have happened in real life. No shitty hollywood happy ending,YAY to that.

Either Darabont is a stone cold cynic or he is just plain stupid. I'm pretty sure it's the latter.

Cheesy premise, generic characters, but actually done quite well.

This might be a generous score given the silly effects and dialogue, but it's fun late night TV movie/drive-in material. The emphasis on religious insanity that ramps up is ridiculous and overwrought, yet the vaguely Lovecraftian nature of the teeming mist provides the film with some much-needed ambiguity. Echoes of Doom, Half-Life, Silent Hill, etc (bearing in mind that King's original story predates these) keep this from being great, though enjoyable. The Cthulhuesque Behemoth: awesome!

This movie will test your stomach, patience, and mercy. The ending alone, will test your ability to cope.

Disappointing adaptation of Stephen King's novella. The cast just didn't work with the exception of Marcia Gay Harden. Did not like the ending.

Started out OK, and there were moments that seemed like it may be truly scary. But it quickly went downhill and the ending was completely unnecessary and ridiculous.

I actually enjoyed this a lot, when the CGI or underdeveloped characters didn't let it down. The end was sure abrubt, but I think I preferred the short stories. For fun, try the black and white version on the DVD.
