The Mist (film)
The Mist is a 2007 American science fiction psychological horror film produced, written, and directed by Frank Darabont. Based on Stephen King's 1980 novella of the same name, the film stars an ensemble cast including Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden, Andre Braugher and Toby Jones. The plot follows a group of people in the small town of Bridgton, Maine, who become trapped inside a supermarket after a mysterious mist envelops the town, concealing deadly, Lovecraftian creatures. As fear and paranoia spread, tensions rise among the survivors.
While the film is primarily a monster movie, it explores how ordinary people react under extreme circumstances. Darabont notably altered the novella's ending, a change that King praised, stating that people who spoil the film's ending should be "hung by the neck until dead".
The Mist was filmed in Shreveport, Louisiana, beginning in February 2007, premiered at ShowEast on October 18, 2007, and was released in the United States on November 21, 2007, by Dimension Films (through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer), with The Weinstein Company distributing in international markets. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, and grossed $57.3 million on a $13–18 million budget.
A severe thunderstorm strikes Bridgton, Maine, causing a tree to crash through the lakeside home of artist David Drayton, his wife Stephanie, and their eight-year-old son, Billy. While surveying the damage the next morning, they notice a thick mist advancing over the lake. David and Billy leave with their neighbor Brent Norton to buy supplies in town. Along the way, they pass several military convoys.
From inside the supermarket, they watch police cars speed down the street. A terrified local, Dan Miller, runs into the store and warns of a danger lurking in the mist. As a civil alert siren sounds, store managers Ollie Weeks and Bud Brown close off the supermarket, and the mist envelops the store. Soon after, a woman leaves alone to get to her children. Against David's advice, bagger Norm starts to go outside to fix the store's emergency generator, but he is grabbed by a tentacled creature and dragged into the mist. Afterwards, the survivors begin barricading the store while religious fanatic Mrs. Carmody preaches that the mist is divine punishment. Brent, skeptical of the danger, leaves the store with a group of people, but does not return.
David forms connections with several people in the store, including Amanda Dunfrey and Irene Reppler, two teachers who came into conflict with Carmody over her religious take on the ongoing disaster. Amanda carries a revolver in her purse and gives it to Ollie, who is a former regional shooting champion. As night falls, enormous flying insects, attracted to the lights, swarm to the store windows and are preyed on by pterodactyl-like creatures. One of the predators smashes a window, allowing both species inside. In the ensuing panic, two people are killed while another receives fatal burns while attempting to incinerate the insects. Meanwhile, Carmody is miraculously spared from an insect, which convinces her to proselytize more fervently and gain followers among the survivors.
A group led by David ventures to a nearby pharmacy in search of medical supplies but is attacked by deadly spider-like creatures. They discover an MP trapped in a web-like structure who is alive. He starts to say the military is responsible for what's happening, but tiny versions of the spider creatures begin to burst out of his body, and he dies. Upon their return to the supermarket, tensions rise as Carmody calls for sacrifices to appease the monsters, singling out a soldier named Jessup, who reveals that the mist was the result of a military experiment to find other dimensions gone wrong. He is stabbed, thrown outside and immediately killed by a monstrous creature.
The next morning, Carmody demands that Billy and Amanda be sacrificed, but assistant manager Ollie shoots and kills her, returning her followers to their senses and allowing David and his group to escape the store. After Ollie and several others are killed by the creatures, David grabs his gun and drives off with the survivors. The group stops by David's house, where they see Stephanie's dead body. As the group continue their drive through the mist, they pass scenes of widespread destruction, a colossal creature crosses their path as they move on before eventually running out of gas.
