The Mist

The blood splatter on the windshield goes from being in the middle of the broken glass to being spread out across the windshield and then back again.

After David shoots the people in the car, we see blood stains on the inside of the windows, which we did not see from the outside when the shots were actually fired.

The fallen tree which crashed through the house of David Drayton at the beginning of the film, appears to have had it's roots cut.

"The Castle Rock Times", the newspaper a shopper is looking at in "The Food House" town general store has no datum, issue number or price on it.

In the scene where Sally gets stung by the wasp-like creatures, the mark from the sting on her neck appears BEFORE the wasp has struck.

In the scene where you can see the headlines "Electric storm largest on record" on The Castle Rock Times, the entire text underneath it is placeholder text, commonly known in the publishing and design world as "Lorem Ipsum"- a derivative of Latin that is meant to have no meaning.

Same for the text underneath the "Celebrating Heritage" blurb above the masthead.

When David is seen repeatedly beating down on one of the winged creatures in the grocery store with a mop, there is one brief camera shot that clearly shows the end of the mop still attached (it had been removed moments earlier).

The next shot shows the mop without the end.

After the tentacle slaps the bag boy, it leaves a noticeably bloody mark on his neck and chin which all but vanishes in subsequent shots of him.

After the bloody scene in the storeroom, David's shirt is wet, but not very soiled.

When he steps into the market, there is a large smear of blood on his shirt.

Throughout the movie, but prominently in one scene where David is standing with some shelves behind him, the shelves are stocked with "Zapp's potato chips" (specifically the orange 'Hotter 'n Hot Jalapeno' flavor).

Zapp's are not sold in Maine.

Zapp's Potato Chips is a company based out of Gramercy, LA and they market their products largely across the south.

Zapp's ARE sold in Shreveport, LA where the movie was filmed.

In the scene where Private Jessup is being lynched, we see the wings of the collar of his shirt repeatedly switch from being tucked into his uniform and being stretched out on the outside.

In the final scene of the movie, you can see blue skies and a few clouds in the windshield of the main character's vehicle.

Central Maine Power (CMP) trucks have an orange cargo area with a white cab, unlike those shown in the film.

Maine has counties not parishes.

Parishes are the term for counties mostly found in Louisiana.

Towards the end of the film you see a white state police car upside down, when marked Maine State police cars are blue with a round state police logo on the front doors, and the word STATE TROOPER on the front of the hood and above the front wheel well.

When the tree "falls" through the window of the house at the beginning of the film, it comes straight in.

The tree was clearly pushed into the window, rather than falling over.

In the scene where Norm is being dragged by the alien under the stockroom door, initially, there is no visible blood trail behind him.

Yet a few scenes later when Ollie goes to stop the generator, there is a thick trail-mark of blood "supposedly" left by Norm on the floor by the ax.

The first trail-mark of blood, supposedly left by Norm after being dragged under the stockroom door, is thick and plenty.

Yet in the scene where David is seen looking at the alien retreat back under this door, it's not same trail of blood - it's not as thick, and is sparse.

When Sally is attacked by the flying bug, she is stung on the left side of her neck.

Moments later, when her throat swells up, the sting wound is on the right side of her neck.

Mrs.

Carmody is supposedly a devout Christian, however she referred to the book of "Revelation" as "Revelations".

However, while the character does make a mistake, it is one which is quite common even among "devout Christians".

When Private Jessup is outside the supermarket about to be killed by a monster, he bangs and smears blood all over the door in a attempt to get back in.

However after he leaves his final hand print on the door, the previous blood seen smeared on the door in previous shots seconds before is now missing.

Wrong period Army uniforms.

If we are to believe this is 2007, the khaki uniform worn by the M.

has not been in use since 1975 along with the plastic helmet liner he wears.

The Jeep he drove has also been phased out since the 1980's.

And as of 2007, the woodland camouflage (worn by the Soldiers at the end) was replaced by the gray, green and tan pix-elated or digital pattern (known in the Army as the Universal Camouflage Pattern).

Every character obviously has been dreamed up in 5 minutes by the same unimaginative and sheltered bonehead.

Stephen King has amazing stories that can be excellent explored or can become a mess, unfortunately most of them become a mess when movie adapted, but for the happiness of some of his fans or for some of those ones that just enjoy a great tale, this is one of those few exceptions. Seems that Frank Darabont is the only director/writer to really understand Stephen King.

Dumb adaption to late Stephen King novel about people trapped in a supermarket by a surrounding mist the night after a thunderstorm. Whats in the mist?

This movie is really a mixed bag for me. It's got a very strong, very creepy survival-horroresque first hour with believable characters, a tight plot and the necessary vagueness of the actual threat.

I am in no way a professional film critic, I don't really know anything about the background of this movie or the actors. I can't comment based on the lighting or the camera work.

I was into watching the movie because of the thrill. But story wise, it wasn't much of a go to movie.

First i'd like to say i've never left a comment on IMDb before. But after reading the many positive comments about this film on here, I feel I have to ask..........

Without spoiling much for those who have not watched it, i will say that if you can withstand Marcia Harden's irritating character for the major portion of the film, the ending, is definitely going to move you to tears and how is where the magic of the movie lies. It might seem to be just another horror flick but trust me, its not.

....this was a realy good show.
