"The Mist" is actually exploring a possibility based on deep human nature, so it seems indisputable to the true and false, so that we, as human beings, cannot let go of it. It is a mini piece that captures the essence of Stephen King's novel art. Not only is it full of suspenseful plots and character settings, but it also uses very few direct horror scenes. The shocking effect on the audience's psychology has surpassed a batch of bloody horror movies. It can be said that it continues Stephen's thriller novel. Style.
Therefore, the horror of "The Mist" does not just stop at the level of scaring people and telling stories, but digs deeper into people's hearts. It is how people react when trapped in a confined space and facing danger. Under such circumstances, the most terrifying thing is not monsters, but people. This is also the really exciting part of "The Mist".
