the joke: "Bring at least where there is less fog"
From the director of "The Green Mile" and "The Shawshank Redemption," a new horror film adapted from a book by Stephen King ....
A terrible storm hits a small town in Maine. Here lives David Drayton, a designer of posters for Hollywood, with his wife and his son Billy. In the aftermath of the furious storm David goes to the country accompanied by his son Brent and the nearby to buy food and equipment to repair the damage that occurred in numerous night.
reaching the supermarket will soon realize that a 'strange fog has completely invaded the country and around the supermarket by hiding your inner demons creaure ready to attack the store.
will start from here to fight for the survival of a large group of people who, however, encounter many obstacles.
With this film rises partly a genre that in recent years has increasingly been the subject of quality products poor to say the least.
In this latest implementation of a 'work of the master of terror, Frank Darabont uses all the right tools to make a good film of this kind. First place. The supermarket, where he does most of the film, is perfect for the claustrophobic feeling that, with the help of photography made everything pù muggy, there is the beginning.
Secondly the characters. Standing in a supermarket, the situation offers a wide range of people: peasants by truck drivers, a hard-core skeptics, committed love, police, seniors, children up to religious fanatics. And it will be a religious fanatic, Mrs. Carmody, created more confusion than it already was there for the situation itself.
Performed by Marcia Gay Harden (Into the Wild, Mystic River, Pollock) in a state of grace and always perfect for the roles to be disturbed, Mrs. Carmdoy turns out to be one of the most important figures in history.
advantage because of the general fear, and aided the exact prediction of each individual event, will also create around himself a small congregation of minds that are no longer afraid of rationality, making the situation even more unstable. Palese
in this case the message director to stress the bestiality of man in cases of captive and what would they do to survive.
Against this background, in the guise of good duty, we find Thomas Jane, actor discreet already seen in the guise of "The Punisher".
As for the soundtrack is absent for almost the entire duration of the film, except in the final when Dead Can Dance offer an atmosphere nothing short of impressive.
Finale that will do much to discuss. deliberately and courageously changed by the director according to the author of King novel, the ending turns out to be shocking, cynical, maybe not exactly suitable, according to some bad angles.
Surely one of the few horror horror then 100% is not worth seeing for several years now.
In cinemas from October 10.
