The Mist Reviews (Good)
- Chicago Tribune: The Mist Reviews (3.5/4)
- "...the film is very absorbing, and by the time the ending arrives, you may be willing to cut it a break, as I was, even if Darabont's nervy resolution cuts the audience no break whatever."
- E! Online: The Mist Reviews (A)
- "Unlike other horror films that only have torture porn to offer, this one will stay with you for a long time."
- Entertainment Weekly: The Mist Review (B+)
- "The bugs and such are gross enough — and yet so very handsome — in Frank Darabont's nifty, unusually spry, and almost shockingly pessimistic low-budget adaptation of King's 1980 extended short story. (Abandon all hope, ye who remember the original, unresolved ending.)"
- ReelViews: The Mist Review (3.5/4)
- "Finally, after a long list of failures, someone has done justice in bringing one of King's horror stories to the screen."
- Film Threat: The Mist Review (4/4)
- "Critically, it probably won't receive a fraction of the plaudits his earlier version of "The Shawshank Redemption" did, but it's a solid effort in its own right, and vaults easily to the upper echelon of horror flicks based on King's works (talk about damning with faint praise)."
- eFilmCritic.com: The Mist Review (5/5)
- "Frank Darabont's The Mist is easily the best horror film since The Blair Witch Project and the most socially frightening statement about humanity in the post 9/11 era."
The Mist Reviews (Bad)
- RogerEbert.com: The Mist Review (2/4)
- "It is a competently made Horrible Things Pouncing on People Movie. If you think Frank Darabont has equaled the "Shawshank" and "Green Mile" track record, you will be sadly mistaken."
- The Boston Globe: The Mist Review (2/4)
- "That bloated sense of purpose turns what could have been a nifty B-movie into a strained, two-hours-plus "Twilight Zone" episode, and, believe me, Darabont's no Rod Serling."
- The New Yorker: The Mist Review
- "The line "There's something in the mist!" is a straight lift from "There's something in the fog!," spoken twenty-seven years ago in John Carpenter's "The Fog," and it shows that these movies are not meditations on the tragedy of human overreach. They're weather reports."
- The Washington Post: The Mist Review
- "There's a glib twist at the end, which seems out of character, and the movie could easily lose 20 minutes, maybe 40."
- Village Voice: The Mist Review
- "How did a straightforward little tale about prehistoric monsters gobbling down the hapless citizens of a modern-day town become such a lumbering and depressing movie?"
