What lies in the mist? Monsters. A whole lot of monsters. Forget the bland television adaptation, because the 2007 film The Mist is a near-perfect horror film. It takes a group of people and strands them in a small-town grocery store as an unforgiving mist blankets their town. The movie is full of creature-filled jump scares, but the most unsettling moment is the bleak and unexpected way the story ends. It's a haunting conclusion to a thrilling story that expertly mixes the supernatural with human paranoia.
