I'm glad you at least appreciated THE MIST, even if it didn't entirely work for you. I hope that as time goes on more people will check it out and be open to, as you said, its dead serious approach.Mr. Peel aka Peter Avellinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10553482286909862975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-5376377796313875712007-11-30T17:20:00.000-08:002007-11-30T17:20:00.000-08:00I entirely agree. The relationship the movie has ...I entirely agree. The relationship the movie has with Carpenter's film is not only in its dead serious approach to an apocalyptic situation, but in its preoccupation with... tentacles. And not the Italian movie TENTACLES. I would say the Lovecraftian imagery of THE MIST ups THE THING's ante, which is a pretty unexpected thing for any horror movie to pull off.<BR/><BR/>I can't say I found THE MIST entirely satisfying, because of all the things you mentioned, but it surely is one of the most interesting American horror films in years. And, as you note, just like THE THING, it isn't making any money in theaters.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678928265420533142noreply@blogger.com
