The Mist is a Sci-fi horror thriller about a small town-and a large general store-that's taken over by a malignant and vaporous substance that brings about various horrible and bloodthirsty creatures! An artist tries to fight it and escape, only to see that many of the frightened townsfolk have turned against him. Like a Lovecraft-inspired story, the horror keeps ramping up as pessimism grows. "Bleak" is one of the word that best describes this.
Continuity mistake: When Private Jessup is thrown out, he walks up to the door and places his bloody hand on the glass door. When the monsters pulls him away, the position of the blood stain on the glass doesn't match where he had his hand in the previous shot.(01:34:55)
Amanda Dunfrey: I just want you to know that it's okay... being scared. And, well, if you need a friend, someone to talk too. Mrs. Carmody: I have a friend. God, up above. I talk to him everyday. Don't you condescend me. Amanda Dunfrey: I'm sorry? Mrs. Carmody: Not ever. You don't mock me. Amanda Dunfrey: That's not what I was doing. Mrs. Carmody: I'll tell you what. The day I need a friend like you, I'll just have myself a little squat and shit one out.
Trivia: At the very beginning, David sits in front of his newest drawing, showing a man with two guns, a rose right of him and a tower far behind on the left side. This drawing shows Roland, a character out of "The Dark Tower", a well-known series of books from Stephen King. This drawing is shown again, some time later after the storm, and David tells that this drawing was meant to become a film poster.(00:00:30)
