Love this movie. Unfortunately I only recently got to see this movie (recently meaning 2 weeks ago on Movie Central), having wrongfully ignored it when it was released. I mistakenly thought it was similar to the horrid re-make of “The Fog”, and didn’t bother with it. Man, did it suck me in when I happened to be flipping channels and stumbled across it. There was a lasting impact for me, both in the horror imagery that Darabont conjured so effectively, and in the apocalyptic ending.
If I ever get to meet Frank Darabont, I will personally give him $12.50 and an apology.

This is one time in the Ten of Terror were I have to disagree. I knew nothing of the movie when I watched it and can’t say it had any impact on me what so ever when it was over except that I thought the ending was embarrassingly acted.

I do however think that the black and white cut is a far more appropriate way to watch. I haven’t seen that version, but feel it would make a better fit.

Really, I think it was the characters that rubbed me into not liking the whole thing. I could have forgiven some short comings had I liked the characters. The scene in the ‘back warehouse’ area with the ‘Sherminator’ from american pie and the church woman that splits the stores people really stand out as characters that ruined it.

And for as much as you praise it I keep second guessing my thoughts on the movie. Maybe a second black & white viewing is in order? But then I think of the ending and change my mind.

Boo The Mist… Have I mentioned how much I like the trivia at the end of this pieces? : )
