The Mist mini-review (sort of)

OK, yes I did go see the Mist, unfortunately I have no way to tell you whether it is worth seeing or not.  I have never had a film so comprehensively ruined in all my years.  A pair of nattering young women sat beside me in the theatre and subjected me to literally non-stop chat about who needs to die, who needs to stop talking (why I resisted to telling them so I don’t know), whatever..

Anyway, the film was in theory quite decent, a mysterious mist appears and something strange within brings death to a group of smalltown folk trapped in a supermarket.  It quickly goes Lord of the Flies as people break into factions of believers in science, religious zealots, and the pragmatists.  I liked how it played out but I spent most of my viewing in a rage.  No verdict this time, or possibly ever a ruined film for me I’m afraid.

Maybe The Fog will cheer me up.
