I remember reading a couple of reviews by critics for this film when it was first released in cinemas that were absolutely effuse with praise. It was heralded as the most innovative horror of recent years etc etc. I can imagine for the average cinema-goer it may well be, but as a some-time fan of Stephen King who's read a couple of his novels and seen quite a few more television adaptations of stories such as `The Langoliers' and `Storm of the Century', I'd have to admit to a fraction of disappointment in the beginning with the introduction of the all too familiar set-up of characters and plot, as in those other stories that I'd previously read & viewed from the mind of this prolific author. But despite recognising the King-conventions in ... Read More:

This is a truly great film, it really involves the viewer and tells a great story about an unjustly convicted man and his struggles in jail. It's got a lot of very moving moments and has a very human story at the centre.

I'd recommend this to anyone as a must see film, and it has enough in it to make it worth watching several times. An excellent film.

As you can tell from the other people's reviews this movie is brilliant!!
But what is not said (at least I don't think so! I didd'nt read all 100+ reviews!) is the picture quality! i'm using a Toshiba 47" 1080i LCD HDTV with a PlayStation3 with HDMI connection.

For a DVD it's got AMAZING detail! I'm surprised they managed to fit this 3 hour film with this quality onto a DVD!! I have a collection of around 500 DVDs & this must be in the top 5 of best picture quality in my selection!

Buy it! you won't regret it! (or wait for the Blu-ray)

This movie is just great, fantastic acting from both Freeman and Robbins. The transfer to high definition isn't the best, but it is fantastic considering this film is now nearly 15 years old, the grayness and dullness of Shawshank State Prison is seen like live I've seen it before, the dark colors are really clear, however seeing how they didn't have HD cameras back then some of the scenes can look a bit blurry and unclear but most of the time its not very noticeable.

7/10 for audio - Good, but i think it could've been better

8/10 for picture - regarding the films age is good but could be better

9/10 the movie it-self - great, entertaining, with twists and turns
but at times can feel a little bit ... Read More:

Excellent suspense, I watched this without knowing anything about the film or story whatsover and that made it all the better. Please dont watch the preview video clip on here, it will give away the whole reason the events are taking place!

I won't provide a synopsis as there is already one provided on Amazon.
I got this on US import in a 2 disc edition which contains the original version and a black and white version of the film (Frank Darabont wanted to release it in black and white but the studio was not happy with this idea, "the kids" don't "get" black and white apparently!!)and I would definitely recommend tracking this edition down.The film itself is most definitely a homage to '50's and '60's monster B-movies, and does not take itself too seriously, but is obviously made with great care and love by Darabont. The effects are not top notch, but that really doesn't matter as you find yourself so engrossed in the panic of the characters and their interactions with each other.It has been said many times, ...

Wow! If one word describes The Mist's ability to shock and scare the watcher then this is it. Contrary to some reviews I believe the script is very well thought out and interesting showing what happens when society breaks down and although the special effects start out a little bit on the cheap side they get better and better including a stunning sequence involving flying bugs. Unlike other horror movies it does sort of touch upon why it's happening and has an absolutely amazing ending that no-one would see coming. The americans didn't like the shock ending but is in complete contrast to other god awful endings. (No Country for old men and There will be Blood being prime examples!) This is a demonstration of how you end a film in style. It will leave you gobsmacked. This is not only ... Read More:
