I re-watched The Mist last night. I enjoyed it the first time but loved it the second time. Great mainstream fodder.

When the Mist came out at the cinema, I (and 2 or 3 at work) got a strange case of deja vu..... we were certain we had seen an earlier version of the movie (maybe made for TV). Even though we had not seen the Mist we all could recount scenes in vivid detail from a movie that were almost identical. After searching the tinterweb, there were many other people posting on forums that they too had seen something very similar, but no one could name the original movie or find any link! I have since seen the Mist and it is/was almost identical!!!

Anyone help?????? It's driving me nuts!!! Oh and no, I never read the book.

possibly Phantoms, that had the same sort of feel as the mist and a scene featuring winged creatures attacking a police station like the ones that attacked the shopping center. it's got ben affleck and liev shrieber and peter o'tool in it. it's based on a dean koontz story.
here's the link to it on imdb
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119891/

just watched Paranormal Activity, that was a pretty decent flick, not very scary but then again i was watching it at home and guess the cinema is the best place to see it. still very cool though and 100 times better than The 4th Kind

Nah it's not that .. kinda similar tho!

I seem to remember a storm at the beginning and a tree falling thru the neighbours boat house, and the grumpy old guy wanting compensation Oh and the lead guy had just moved into town after separating from his wife and the new house wasn't finished ... or have I confused myself with seeing The Mist now!??!?!?

Blood Rain
This is a murder mystery with some genuinely disturbing images. Set on a remote South Korean island in 1808 during the Joseon Dynasty it also contains some supernatural elements which are never overplayed. The pacing may be a bit slow for some, and like most Korean films it does stretch out its playing time to almost two hours, but if you stick with it there are rewards.


Q: The Winged Serpent
This Larry Cohen film is typical of his output. It may be low budget but there are plenty of ideas to keep it ticking over. Some of the effects are poor by any standards but the concept of a giant flying serpent attacking the citizens of New York has to be worth a look. David Carradine sleepwalks through his role as a detective trying to get to the bottom of the mysterious killings while Michael Moriarty’s performance as a low-life who stumbles upon the creatures nest and then tries to use it for his own gain is kooky to say the least.
