[This] grocery-store survival drama, dominated by Marcia Gay Harden as a shrill fundamentalist, serves as a crude but effective allegory for post-9/11 America.

It's a horror movie of real conviction. It deserves to be a hit.
Paul Clinton (CNN.com), CNN.com

A near-campy escapist thrill ride.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

The Mist builds toward a climax so wrenching that I hesitate to recommend the film, but I think Darabont earns his vision.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture

Even though it is mindless, at least until the provocative ending, The Mist manages to provide some decent old-school shocks.
