QUICK TAKE:
Horror: Various people find themselves trapped in a small town's grocery store when a mist rolls in, concealing all sorts of deadly monsters, and causing division among the survivors about the cause of this disaster and what they should do about it.
PLOT:
David Drayton (THOMAS JANE) is a movie poster illustrator who lives in a small Maine town with his wife and young son, Billy (NATHAN GAMBLE). Other than having to deal with their contentious neighbor, Brett Norton (ANDRE BRAUGHER), things are fairly quiet there. That is, until a violent thunderstorm sends a tree crashing into their home.

The next morning, and with Brett going along with them, David and Billy head to the local grocery store for supplies. Once inside, a strange mist suddenly rolls in, with a local man, Dan (JEFFREY DeMUNN), running in, bloody and claiming something in that mist got his son. Nervous about that, those inside stay put.

Among them is the store manager, Bud (ROBERT C. TREVEILER), and his assistant, Ollie (TOBY JONES), while Sally (ALEXA DAVALOS) is one of the checkers who's sweet on local military boy Wayne (SAM WITWER). He's about to go on his leave with his buddies when that's suddenly canceled as the military rolls through the town in force.

Others there include new school teacher Amanda (LAURIE HOLDEN), senior citizen Irene (FRANCES STERNHAGEN), and local blue collar worker Jim (BILL SADLER). Then there's Mrs. Carmody (MARCIA GAY HARDEN), an Old Testament doomsayer who believes this is God's reckoning for all of mankind's sins.

The others don't believe her, at least at first, but that also holds true for Brett and others who think David and a small group are trying to mock him by saying that the store's bag boy has just been killed by some sort of monster, which is true. As the situation worsens, night falls, and various monsters and creatures come out of the mist toward the store, the survivors find themselves splintering into rival groups, with each thinking theirs is the only logical, sane, and/or correct one. With David worried about his son and his wife back home, he and a handful of others then decide they must take action to get out of this predicament alive.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Those who are fans of Stephen King's original short story, horror and/or monster movies, and/or anyone in the cast might be interested in it.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
For violence, terror and gore, and language.
CAST AS ROLE MODELS:
  • THOMAS JANE plays a movie poster illustrator, husband, and father who finds himself trapped in the supermarket with his son when the mists and its various monsters arrive in town. He tries to figure out what's going on and then what to do to survive, all while dealing with Mrs. Carmody's message that he finds dangerous.
  • MARCIA GAY HARDEN plays the local woman who preaches that the mist and the monsters in it are God's reckoning on mankind's sins. She then preaches her take on the Old Testament, brainwashes the others into killing one person and trying to sacrifice Billy, and clashes with David, Amanda and others. She also uses profanity.

  • NATHAN GAMBLE plays David's young who's scared by what's occurring and worries about both his dad and mom.
  • BILL SADLER plays a blue-collar worker who doesn't believe what's happening and then falls in with Mrs. Carmody's fire and brimstone message.

    HOW OTHERS RATED THIS MOVIE


    Curious if this title is entertaining, any good, and/or has any artistic merit?
    Then read OUR TAKE of this film.


    (Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below).


    OUR WORD TO PARENTS:
    The following is a brief summary of the content found in this R-rated horror film. Profanity consists of at least 19 "f" words, while other expletives and colorful phrases are also uttered. A young couple briefly makes out.

    Violence consists of various monsters attacking and killing various humans, while some of the reverse occurs, and a man shoots and kills a woman who's gotten out of control (some non-lethal fighting also occurs). Much of that has extremely bloody and/or gory results, while that material and various scenes of peril, the unknown, and danger may be unsettling, suspenseful, and/or scary to viewers, particularly younger ones.

    Various bad attitudes are present, and there's brief smoking and drinking. Some behavior may be enticing to imitate, heavy thematic elements are present, and there's even heavier tense family material regarding worry, deaths, and ultimate actions taken in the name of mercy.

    If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may be interested in seeing it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.

    For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, there is some of that from lightning in a thunderstorm.

    For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, there is some bouncy camerawork from time to time in the film, including that of the hand-held variety.


    ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE
  • Ollie, Jim, and others have beer from the store in reaction to a horrific event they have just witnessed.
  • Jim has more beer.
  • BLOOD/GORE
  • Dan comes into the store with some blood on his face and shirt.
  • Not believing anything is out in the mist, a bag boy (teenage or older) volunteers to go out in it and clear the exhaust pipe of the store's generator. With the door only partially open, a large tentacle suddenly reaches in and grabs the young man. As it starts to pull him out, David grabs the bag boy, resulting in a tug-of-war with whatever has him from the outside. The end of another tentacle opens up, revealing claws or sharp teeth, which then strike the bag boy in the leg and chest, tearing away his clothes and some flesh, with bloody results. Other tentacles come in and rise up in front of others (similarly showing sharp claws or teeth), while the first one pulls the bag boy toward the partially open garage door on which the young man bangs his head. After he's completely pulled out, the others manage to get the garage door closed, with David whacking off the end of one tentacle, with bloody results.
  • Jim's face is bloody after he is punched there, while David has another man's blood on his clothing.
  • A severed piece of tentacle suddenly moves and then dissolves away into a gooey mess.
  • Mrs. Carmody bitterly tells Amanda that the day she needs a friend like her, "I'll squat and sh*t one out."
  • Fed up with what they believe are lies, Brett and others decide to head off into the mist to try to get help. Tagging along is a biker who volunteers to go get another man's shotgun from his truck, with a rope tied around him so that the others know if he has made it or not. When the rope is pulled back, there is blood on it. As they continue, we then see them pulling just the lower torso of the dead biker across the parking lot (with blood and some entrails seen).
  • Insect-like creatures as well as larger flying creatures enter the store. During this, Amanda knocks down one of those insects, and stomps down onto it, but one of them wraps its long tail around another woman's neck, and when that is removed, we see a hole in that woman's neck. During this, Ollie tries to get off a shot to shoot the creatures, while one of the large winged creatures attacks a man and pulls out chunks of his flesh, with very bloody results. Others who are similarly attacked are also bloody, while Ollie shoots and kills a creature (with bloody results).
  • A dead person's face is very swollen.
  • We see very bad burn wounds and some blood on a man's face.
  • The group finds various people in cocoon-like structures, as hosts for the creatures inside them. One of those cocooned people suddenly grabs Jim, and that victim has boils all over his skin, and little eruptions coming out on his face. Various insect-like bugs then shoot strings of acid out at the humans, with one being struck on the leg (with bloody results), and another on the face (also with bloody results). The cocooned man then falls to the floor with his torso collapsing, and all sorts of spider-like bugs pour out of his body. One woman makes an impromptu flamethrower out of spray and a lighter to torch one of the big insect type bugs, while others shoot or impale other such bugs, also with bloody/gory results.
  • A man who has been repeatedly stabbed is very bloody.
  • We see a bloody bullet hole in a woman's forehead, and a large pool of blood behind her head on the floor.
  • We see several people in the backseat of a car with bloody bullet hole wounds to their heads, while the mercy killer shooter has some of their blood on him.
  • DISRESPECTFUL/BAD ATTITUDE
  • David and Brett have a contentious neighborly relationship, where they haven't gotten along in the past, only briefly do so here, and then fall back into their old ways, with most of that coming from Brett.
  • Some viewers may be offended by the portrayal of Mrs. Carmody as an over-the-top, Old Testament, wrath of God doomsayer and rabble-rouser. Others will view her as having the bad attitude for stirring up parts of the group via fear, all to the point that they kill one person and want to sacrifice Billy.
  • David punches Jim several times, including to the gut and face (the latter being a little bloody), for partially being responsible for a bag boy's death from a monster out in the mist.
  • Mrs. Carmody bitterly tells Amanda that the day she needs a friend like her, "I'll squat and sh*t one out."
  • Believing him to be the cause of what is occurring, Jim grabs Wayne and throws him to the floor. Mrs. Carmody then grabs Wayne by the throat. David tries to intervene, but Jim punches him, while another person stabs Wayne in the gut and then does so several times more. The wounded soldier is carried outside as a sacrifice, and we then see a huge creature grab that soldier.
  • FRIGHTENING SCENES
  • Scenes listed under "Violence," "Blood/Gore" and "Jump Scenes" may be unsettling, suspenseful or scary, especially to younger viewers and/or those with low tolerance levels for such material.
  • As people are congregated in the grocery store, they all react in varying degrees of fear to the sound of an air raid siren going off. Dan then comes rushing in, with some blood on his face and shirt, stating that something in the mist took his son (and we heard screaming out there somewhere).
  • Something similar to an earthquake shakes the grocery store violently, causing panic among those inside it, especially when pieces of the ceiling start falling down.
  • Mrs. Carmody states that it's death out in the mist, and is the end of days.
  • While back in the stock room of the grocery store, David hears the sound of metal bending, and then sees the large roll-up, metal garage door being thrashed about and bent inward from something outside.
  • Not believing anything is out in the mist, a bag boy (teenage or older) volunteers to go out in it and clear the exhaust pipe of the store's generator. With the door only partially open, a large tentacle suddenly reaches in and grabs the young man. As it starts to pull him out, David grabs the bag boy, resulting in a tug-of-war with whatever has him from the outside. The end of another tentacle opens up, revealing claws or sharp teeth, which then strike the bag boy in the leg and chest, tearing away his clothes and some flesh, with bloody results. Other tentacles come in and rise up in front of others (similarly showing sharp claws or teeth), while the first one pulls the bag boy toward the partially open garage door on which the young man bangs his head. After he's completely pulled out, the others manage to get the garage door closed, with David whacking off the end of one tentacle, with bloody results.
  • Fed up with what they believe are lies, Brett and others decide to head off into the mist to try to get help. Tagging along is a biker who volunteers to go get another man's shotgun from his truck, with a rope tied around him so that the others know if he has made it or not. He and the others then disappear into the mist, and his rope that was trailing outward suddenly goes slack. After a few moments, it suddenly starts ripping away from the store, first straight out, and then at an upward angle, with those inside holding it suffering rope burns as it speeds through their hands. They try to hold on, and when they pull the rope back in, there is blood on it. As they continue, we then see them pulling just the lower torso of the dead biker across the parking lot (with blood and some entrails seen).
  • Night is coming, and the survivors in the grocery store become increasingly worried.
  • A huge, insect-like creature suddenly slams into the large plate glass window on the front of the store. More and more then do the same thing, followed by larger winged creatures flying up and grabbing those insect ones and eating them. As this occurs, their impact on the plate glass window causes panels of it to crack, shatter, and eventually break open. That allows the insects and then the larger flying creatures inside the store. During this, Amanda knocks down one of those insects, and stomps down onto it, but one of them wraps its long tail around another woman's neck, and when that is removed, we see a hole in that woman's neck. During this, Ollie tries to get off a shot to shoot the creatures, while one of the large winged creatures attacks a man and pulls out chunks of his flesh, with very bloody results. Others who are similarly attacked are also bloody, while one man is accidentally set ablaze while trying to light a makeshift torch, with one of those winged creatures also being set on fire, and it then flies around the store. David then repeatedly hits it, followed by Ollie shooting the winged creature that falls to the floor. It then approaches Billy who is in the way of Ollie getting off another shot, and David moves the boy out of the way just in time, so that Ollie can shoot and kill that creature (with bloody results). A dead person's face is very swollen, while Mrs. Carmody freezes in panic as one of those large insect creatures climbs up her clothed chest with its stinger tail ready to get her (but nothing happens as it flies away).
  • Some unseen but apparently large monster pulls away the severed lower body of a previous victim.
  • David and others head out of the store and into the mist, as they make their way towards the pharmacy next door. There are various sounds in the distance, and the group slowly makes their way into the pharmacy, using their flashlights to look around the seemingly deserted store. During this, Jim accidentally kicks something on the floor, startling everyone. The group then finds various people in cocoon-like structures, as hosts for the creatures inside them. One of those cocooned people suddenly grabs Jim, and that victim has boils all over his skin, and little eruptions coming out on his face. Various insect-like bugs then shoot strings of acid out at the humans, with one being struck on the leg (with bloody results), and another on the face (also with bloody results). The cocooned man then falls to the floor with his torso collapsing, and all sorts of spider-like bugs pour out of his body. One woman makes an impromptu flamethrower out of spray and a lighter to torch one of the big insect type bugs, while others shoot or impale other such bugs, also with bloody/gory results.
  • We see that two of the soldiers have hanged themselves in the back room.
  • Believing him to be the cause of what is occurring, Jim grabs Wayne and throws him to the floor. Mrs. Carmody then grabs Wayne by the throat. David tries to intervene, but Jim punches him, while another person stabs Wayne in the gut and then does so several times more. The wounded soldier is carried outside as a sacrifice, and we then see a huge creature grab that soldier.
  • David and others try to sneak out of the grocery store while everyone is sleeping, but they then see that their previously hidden supplies are gone, and that Mrs. Carmody is sitting there in their way, holding a knife. Her followers then surround those trying to leave, with Mrs. Carmody giving the order to grab Billy and to "kill the whore" (referring to Amanda). All sorts of fighting then breaks out, with Ollie then shooting a woman twice, once in the gut, and the second time in the forehead, killing her.
  • Various people run through the mist in the parking lot to try to get to David's truck. A huge creature grabs one person and then another, while a third person is presumably killed behind some cars.
  • With creatures all around them in the mist, David slowly tries to reach from the driver seat of his truck to a handgun that is on the hood. One of the monsters races up, and David grabs the gun and gets back inside just in time as the creature races across the vehicle.
  • As survivors drive through the mist in a truck, they hear all sorts of monster sounds off in the distance. They also see a child cocooned on a bus, and damage and past mayhem everywhere, while an incredibly gargantuan creature slowly walks over them, apparently not seeing them for being so small below it (and their vehicle slightly bounces from its thunderous footsteps).
  • Spoiler alert: Various survivors in a truck realize they are really in trouble when they run out of gas. Accepting that they have no way out, they realize there are five of them and only four bullets. From outside the truck and an angle down below it, we hear four gunshots and see the related flashes of light. We then see an inside view that shows some of the dead bodies with bloody bullet holes to their heads, as well as the one distraught man who was the shooter. He tries to commit suicide with the gun, but there are no bullets left. He then goes outside the truck and yells for the creatures to come and get him, but that does not occur.
  • GUNS/WEAPONS

  • Spoiler alert: To prevent his young son from suffering anymore, a father shoots and kills him (along with several other people in the same situation). We don't see the actual killing, but do hear the shot and see the flashes of light from that. The father then is understandably distraught and angry over what he's done and why he had to do it.

  • David and the others being worried about Mrs. Carmody's fire and brimstone influence on the rest of the group.
  • How people can turn primitive once society starts to break down. That's related to the comment that if you put two people in a room and leave them there long enough, they will eventually try to kill each other (with Ollie stating that's why politics and religion were started).
  • Mercy killings and suicides in dire situations.

  • To stop her from riling up everyone else, Amanda slaps Mrs. Carmody.
