In a horrifying and exciting atmosphere, the series follows a small town whose people live a weird phenomenon, they see an eerie mist rolls everywhere and it kills anyone becomes near of it with a brutal way. The series is based on a movie carries the same name released in 2007.
So far, The Mist hasn't given viewers much to care about. It's all pretty standard plot thickeners. On the other hand, it's not badly done - atmospheric, so to speak, if unseen horrors are your thing.
This version tries to have it both ways - goofy and serious - and leaves viewers on the outside looking in, rooting for the mist instead of those running from it.
This new Stephen King adaptation comes equipped with a fair share of formulaic storylines and underdeveloped characters. Still, there is enough mystery and gore to keep the horror fans coming back for more.
Given the understandably low budget, it would have been smarter to play with the unknown enemy in the mist instead of making such a literal horror show.
