The Mist (2007)
7/10
Smart, intelligent and another word for smart that my vocabulary doesn't have.

Not everyone will love this film. If you're someone who needs the same old same old this probably won't be for you.

However, If you're someone who looks back on George Romeo's Night of the Living Dead (1968) and appreciates how it took typical horror genre conventions and deconstructed them, then you'll get this film and like it.

Like Romero's Night, the film isn't really about the creatures in the mist, it's about the people in the situation and how they deal with it. It's essentially a study of social behaviour and how people communicate under extreme circumstances. That said, the creatures in the mist, dude, they f**ked up!

Basically, the film is shocking, polemic and will really divide opinion, everything a good horror should.
