The Mist (2007)

1 suggested correction

★★★★☆

Starring: Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Andre Braugher, Laurie Holden

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film when the five of them are in the car, they stop to watch a giant monster walk past, shaking the car. When we see the monster again it is walking away from them, but the telephone cables are still erect - it is clear that these would have been knocked down by the monster. (01:48:20 - 01:48:55)

Suggested correction: It actually does knock down some of the poles and cables. It just doesn't knock them all down. The ones you see still standing as it walked away are a fair distance away from where it was walking... hence, they still stand.

Mistakes

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

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)

Questions

Question: After watching the film, I was wondering, does anyone know if the novella (upon which this film is based) or any similar Stephen King works served as inspiration to Konami's "Silent Hill" video game franchise? I am asking, because there are certainly some similarities between these works, both stylistic and in terms of tone.

Answer: I'll have to answer my own question here. After doing some research, it appears that yes, "The Mist" was partially an inspiration for Konami when they created the "Silent Hill" series.
