Plot

After a violent storm, a dense cloud of mist envelops a small Maine town, trapping David Drayton and his five-year-old son in a local grocery store with other local residents. They soon discover that the mist conceals deadly horrors that threaten their lives, and worse, their sanity.

Sinekatalog’s take

A grocery store becomes a pressure cooker as unseen monsters outside force strangers to reveal their worst instincts. The creature effects are uneven, but the human paranoia is sharp and the nerve it shows is memorable. A bleak, effective pick for horror fans who like their dread moral.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
