The promotions for The Mist imply that the film is from the two guys that made The Shawshank Redemption – Stephen King and Frank Darabont, true but personally I would have preferred – “From the minds that brought you Maximum Overdrive and Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.” The Mist is really nothing more than a drive-in movie. The only genre regular I picked out of the cast was William Sadler (Disturbing Behavior). The rest of the cast were pilot losers and friends of the director I guess. There was one cool feature on the DVD – a small featurette on Movie Poster master artist Drew Struzan. Its worth checking out. Should have gone straight to Sci-Fi Originals.
