Screening as part of Enzian’s 13+ Films of Halloween!
Rare Black & White Director’s Cut Screening!
Featuring a Book to Big Screen discussion on The Mist with Dr. Paul D. Reich of Rollins College!
After a powerful storm damages their Maine home, David Drayton (Thomas Jane) and his young son head into town to gather food and supplies. Soon afterward, a thick fog rolls in and engulfs the town, trapping the Draytons and others in the grocery store. Terror mounts as deadly creatures reveal themselves outside, but that may be nothing compared to the threat within.
3-time Academy award nominee Frank Darabont (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, THE GREEN MILE) assembles an iconic cast featuring: Marcia Gay Harden (MYSTIC RIVER), Toby Jones (HARRY POTTER), William Sadler (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION), Andre Braugher (HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET) and future THE WALKING DEAD co-stars Laurie Holden and Jeffrey DeMunn in this timeless adaptation of the legendary Stephen King novella.
About the speaker: Paul D. Reich, Ph.D., is Professor of English and Associate Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Rollins College. His most recent publication—“Under the Influence: Adaption, Adultery, and Acceptance in Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya and Ryusuke Hamagachi’s Drive My Car—appeared in the Spring/Summer 2024 issue of Comparative Drama.

-
"One of the scariest King films since Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING "
- Tasha Robinson, A.V. CLUB -
“The Mist is a terrifying example of fantastical nightmares coming to life, and the human monsters that crisis can make of us.”
– Kristy Strouse, WONDERFULLY WEIRD AND HORRIFYING -
“The black-and-white version's stark contrasts give greater claustrophobic force to the fragility of civilization when ideology grows as deadly as any marauding beasts.”
– Nick Rogers, MIDWEST FILM JOURNAL -
“Director Frank Darabont tells Stephen King stories that are memorable, shattering and moving. Darabont deftly translates King's words to the big screen.”
– Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES
