Well, maybe not, but I just like the Gene-Shalit way that sounds. Whatevs. I didn't think The Mist was necessarily the scariest film ever, but it was definitely tense and really well done. There are creatures in the movie, but the scariest things really happen because of regular people. It's really a movie about what happens when a large group of people are trapped together and scared. Strong personalities draw people onto different sides, people panic, it's great dramatic stuff.
It's a very quiet movie that doesn't rely on a soundtrack to let you know when to be scared. There's barely a score at all, which makes it feel all the more real, like you are trapped with the people. The ending is awesome. Just dark and great. That's all I can say about it. It's different than the ending Stephen King wrote and totally darker. You gotta go a long way to be darker than The Man himself.
