Continuity mistake: When the tentacle monster rips out a chunk of Norm's chest, a large spray of blood splashes on his right-side jaw and cheek. In every subsequent shot of him, this blood is gone and his jaws are completely clean. (00:26:30)

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.

Ollie: As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
More trivia for The Mist
Question: When is the movie supposed to take place? I know the book was set in the 80s, and I thought the film was, as well. Most of the cars seemed to be 80s era vehicles, but the main character uses a cell phone to light his way in one scene and he mentions computer generated artwork. Any thoughts?
Answer: The film is contemporary, as was the original story. Neither was meant to be set in a specific time period other than "now." The reason for the many older vehicles is that the film takes place in a small town. Notice that none of the older vehicles is in new condition. The presence of cell phones and modern products and clothing in the store indicate it is set in the present.
